STUART MATHESON
Financial Adviser
What is your favourite movie?
Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?
All three. I love bike riding, whether it be road or downhill mountain bike (even though I don’t do it too much). I am also a huge racing car fan, which would explain why I’m tired on a Monday, as I have been up watching F1 (go Daniel Riccardo). Lastly, I grew up on a farm riding horses so I also must put that one down (although I have not ridden for many years and was certainly no John Wayne).

What gets you out of bed in the morning?
What’s one part of your weekly routine you can’t live without?
I love getting to the gym and try to fit in a workout or a run in 4-5 times a week. It’s a habit I have continued since joining the Army at 18 and I have always enjoyed staying active.
Where would we find you on a typical weekend?
If you could visit anywhere in the world you’ve never been, where would you go?


ADAM MUFTAR
Senior Tax Adviser
What was your favourite holiday?
In 2014 I was lucky enough to spend 4 weeks exploring the USA and Mexico. The highlight of my holiday was doing one of the best road trips in the world, driving the iconic Pacific Coast Highway San Francisco to LA. It was the perfect way to take in the best of what this beautiful part of the US has to offer. Now with the addition of 2 active little boys to the family my most exciting holiday is visiting a Queensland theme park!
What do you do for fun?
After clocking off from work I like to get outside as much as I can. I enjoy the great outdoors including camping and cycling but my real passion is motorsport and trail bike riding.
JULIA ARMSTRONG
Strategic Associate
What is your favourite holiday destination?
I have been to China twice and still can’t get enough, I love the culture, the food and the scenery is spectacular. Honestly, I love all international travel and would be grateful wherever I end up.
What’s at the top of your bucket list?
I would say travelling to Antarctica and doing an African safari would both be at the top of my bucket list.
Is there a TV show you’re loving at the moment?
My fiancé and I are rewatching all the Harry Potter movies at the moment and loving it, we often rewatch our favourite TV shows and movies.
What do you do for fun?
I am a true homebody, spending time with my cat Toto and my fiancé Addy. Lots of family time is a must.

THARIQ JABBAR
Strategic Analyst
Favorite achievement in life so far?
For my final report for my degree my teammates and I chose to see how activities help autistic kids. So, we created games and various activities designed specifically for autistic kids and gifted it to them at the end of the semester. It was truly an unforgettable moment seeing how happy they were.
Top of your bucket list?
There is so much I want to do! The first would be sky diving, the adrenaline from jumping out of a plane thousands of feet up in the air is something I really need to feel. The one just after would be to get my piloting license, so hoping to tick both off in one go if the opportunity arises.
What was your first job?
My first job was at Kmart, I was a retailer doing various jobs like stocking, handling the cash registers and customer support.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I am a huge Marvel fan and like the ability to dabble with time, so would love to have the superpower like Dr. Strange, after all he was the only one who knew what was going to happen the entire time!
