NLA - Naylor Lawrence & Associates

After an incredible 48 years of service to the accounting industry, we announce that Michael Lawrence is retiring from the Director role and transitioning into a consultant position, effective today.

We are delighted that his knowledge, experience, and guidance will continue to be part of the NLA team.

In his new role, Michael’s hours will be:
🕘 Monday to Thursday | 7:00am – 3:00pm

Further to this transition, we are pleased to share that we have a new Director, Erin Barnes. Erin has been a part of the NLA family for nearly 16 years, so will be a familiar face to many already.

With strong leadership, industry knowledge, and a clear vision for the future, she is well placed to help guide NLA through its next chapter while continuing to build on the solid foundation that has already been established

Please join us in congratulating Erin on her new appointment.

Join our Accountants + HR information evening for business owners and managers covering recruiting well, managing performance (the good and the not so good), starting challenging conversations, and what you can do when employees are sick.
