People

Alison is a true adventurer at heart. Originally from the UK, she arrived in Australia in 1996 for what was meant to be a short study visit—but quickly fell in love with the country and decided to make it her home.

Since then, Alison has become an integral part of the Martin & Martin story. Known for her warmth, humour, and unwavering dedication, she’s the person everyone turns to—the trusted source of knowledge, guidance, and calm efficiency. Described by many as kind, helpful, patient, and solution-focused, Alison brings a unique blend of professionalism and heart to everything she does.

As the longest-serving team member, Alison has played a key role in shaping many of the systems and processes that underpin the firm’s operations. Her deep understanding of the business and her ability to see the bigger picture make her a valuable mentor and a steady presence through the firm’s many seasons of growth and change.

What Alison finds most rewarding is watching the evolution of the firm—seeing junior team members grow into senior roles and witnessing the continued development of Andrew and Ivan Martin. With a front-row seat to the ever-changing accounting landscape, Alison has embraced each challenge with creativity and grace, helping to shape not just the operations, but also the culture and spirit of Martin & Martin.

Her journey continues to be one of purpose, adaptability, and a quiet passion for seeing people—and businesses—thrive.
