Hello there!
Welcome to Dream Accounting + Business Advisory!
We’re a team of qualified accountants and tax specialists based in Victoria, but service businesses and individuals all across Australia.
Our mission is to create bucket-loads of abundance for every one of our clients.
We want financial success and peace of mind to be your experience of life —not just a hope or a wish.
As ambitious accountants, we relish in tackling the grey area that many accountants avoid exploring. We follow the rules but continuously innovate outside the square.
Our company makes financial freedom a tangible possibility, and we’ll advise and guide you every step of the way.
Transparency, authenticity and positivity are the values that drive us to be our best.
It’s why new and long-term clients keep telling us: “You’re a dream come true”.
Meet your Dream Team.

Jacinda Haberfield.
Jacinda saved our souls when we were in dire need of some assistance in administration, she stepped into Sarah’s role while she was on Maternity Leave and has become a wonderful addition to our team. Her and her husband Justin have 2 beautiful children Isabel and Beau who are growing up way too fast and nearly both at school.
Jacinda had worked in retail for years and found an interest in finance after completing a certificate in Business Administration and then Financial Services. She is cool headed and task driven and always ensures she completes a task timely, accurately and with a smile on her dial! We appreciate her efficiency and ability to ensure our clients get what they need, when they need it.
We have nicknamed her Smurf due to her laptop camera giving her a gorgeous blue glow in our video meetings. Feel free to say ‘Hey Smurf’ in your next e-mail to Jacinda!
Lucinda Cooper.
If you have called our office, chances are you've spoken to this beautiful soul. The lovely Lucinda was born in Sydney and lived in Mullimbimby before settling in Albury with her partner Steve – who luckily enough, works in the wine industry. Luci is loving our region, particularly the landscapes, bushwalks, helping with the local landcare group and enjoying the beautiful views.
She loves spending time doing anything outside. Afternoons in her garden are the best . . . fruits, flowers, vegies, herbs and ferns! Add in some Italian food and Luci is in heaven!
Luci tells us that she loved the interview process with Dream, a new experience for her. Meeting the team during her interview was amazing, she would have happily pulled up a chair and started work, then and there!
Nothing makes her happier than making our clients feel welcome and putting a smile on someone’s face! Luci’s methodical, process driven and gentle nature is a huge asset to the Dream Team and we are so very lucky to have her!
Ash Stickland.
Our admin superstar Ash joined the Dream family mid 2022 after moving to Wodonga from Benalla to be with the love of her life.
After working in the accounting industry for 10 years, the plan was to challenge herself in a new industry…until she met with Dream! After her initial interview with Andrea, she knew this is where she belonged. She cancelled all her other interviews and hasn’t looked back. Aren’t we lucky!
Ash is a breath of fresh air in the office and has an absolute passion for ensuring our clients receive the very best service and always have a friendly voice at the other end of the phone. She has a thirst for knowledge, loves to understand the entire accounting picture and relishes in the finer details.
In 2023 Ash took maternity leave and gave birth to her beautiful baby boy Carter. Congrats Ash and Luke on Carter’s arrival!
Ash is currently working in the office for a few hours on Tuesdays and will slowly increase her hours in 2024 as she feels ready. We’re so excited to have your gorgeous smile back in the office Ash and we know our clients feel the same!
