About Us

Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you!

We started Traction in 2018 with one big goal: to build a firm that felt personal, proactive, and truly invested in our clients’ success – not just at tax time, but year-round.

After years in a large mid-tier firm, we were ready for something different. We wanted to work more closely with ambitious business owners, harness the power of new technologies, and create a workplace where talented people thrive.

Since then, we’ve helped hundreds of clients simplify their finances, scale with confidence, and build businesses that actually work for their lives.

We’re excited to be on the journey – and even more excited to meet you.

Values

Our Values

We Are Driven

We believe learning never stops. In our fast-changing world, staying curious, proactive, and open to better ways of doing things is key to our success - and our clients’. We take pride in developing ourselves, supporting our team’s growth, and delivering smarter outcomes as a result.

We Are Innovative

We’re always exploring ways to work smarter. Whether it's improving a process, testing a new tool, or finding a faster path to the right result - we believe innovation is practical, not flashy. We embrace change when it helps us deliver better outcomes for our clients and keeps us ahead of the curve.

We Are Caring

We care deeply - about our clients, our work, and each other. We build real relationships that go beyond tax returns, because we know the better we understand someone’s goals, the better we can support their journey. We also care for our team, fostering a culture of respect, support, and shared wins.

We Are Collaborators

We work better when we work together. Collaboration is how we unlock better ideas, solve harder problems, and help each other grow. Whether with clients or colleagues, we share openly, listen actively, and bring our best - knowing we’re stronger as a team.

We Are Diverse

We value different perspectives because they make us better. Diversity of background, thought, and experience helps us approach problems more creatively and connect more deeply with the clients we serve. It’s not just what we believe - it’s how we work every day.

Jenina Nunag CA

ASSISTANT CLIENT MANAGER

  • jenina.nunag@traction.com.au

Jenina is an absolute ray of sunshine around the office. One of our company values here at Traction is “We are caring” and Jenina naturally embodies this value in everything that she does and every interaction she has with our team and clients.

Jenina started out her career as a Junior Accountant at a boutique accounting firm whilst completing her university studies. On completion of her studies, she progressed her career working at one of the largest international accounting firms to then taking on the role of Finance Administrator for a Not-For-Profit organisation located in Bunbury. Jenina now finds herself thriving in her role of leading our Bookkeeping & Business Advisory team here at Traction Financial.

Jenina specialises in MYOB and Xero and is always looking for ways to improve efficiency by utilising the endless features within accounting software, together with keeping up to date with apps and solutions available to replace the repetitive nature of bookkeeping tasks and data processing.

Alongside Jenina’s passion for her work and career, she also loves travelling with her family in her caravan and visiting endless locations around our beautiful state. She also loves listening to podcasts in her spare time, sometimes accounting podcasts but most times true crime podcasts (which is a surprise to us too!).

Jonathan Lock CA

MANAGER

  • jonathan.lock@traction.com.au

Jonathan is Traction’s resident sports guru, you name a sport he is most likely a fan.

Jonathan started out his career working for ASIC before finding his way in to the Accounting & Tax industry within a top mid-tier accounting firm.

With nearly a decade of experience behind him, Jonathan uncovered his passion for helping businesses and individuals navigate through the tax and compliance intricacies involved with running a business or simply preparing a tax return.

Not only is Jonathan a sports fanatic, we also think of him here at Traction as a tax fanatic too (although he may not admit this himself). Jonathan does not shy away from diving deep in to our current tax legislation and ensuring his knowledge and understanding is the best it can be, guaranteeing our clients are always being provided with top quality advice and guidance.

When not catching up on the latest tax legislation, Jonathan enjoys spending time with his family and friends. and travelling all over the world to spectate the major international sporting events. Some of his latest worldwide ventures being the Fifa World Cup in Russia and the Ashes in England.

Lauren Bushby CA

COO & CFO

  • lauren.bushby@traction.com.au

Traction’s other co-founder - though not often spotted, as she leaves the spotlight to Julian when it comes to team antics.

Lauren launched her accounting career straight out of high school, taking on a cadetship with a top mid-tier firm. More than fifteen years on, her un-ashamed love for numbers, tax, and solving tricky problems is stronger than ever.

She’s our go-to for digital transformation - helping businesses implement cloud-based tools that save time and boost performance. Lauren’s uncanny eye for process improvement has helped countless business owners streamline their operations and refocus on what really matters.

And while she’s passionate about her career, she’s even more passionate about her love of dogs. Sharing too many photos of your dog, will never be enough. She will ensure to let you know all about her own little dog, Louie, if you will let her.

Julian Eve CA CTA

CEO

  • julian.eve@traction.com.au

Co-founder of Traction  - and, more often than not, the spark behind the team banter.

With over 15 years in the Accounting and Tax world, Julian brings deep technical knowledge, commercial acumen, and a genuine passion for helping clients succeed. He’s known for making complex concepts easy to understand and for always taking the time to build strong, trusted relationships.

Julian works closely with clients through every stage of their business journey — from selecting the right structure at startup, to navigating growth and goal setting, through to exit and sale with the best possible outcome (and tax strategy).

When he’s not solving tax problems, you’ll likely find Julian at the gym, listening to self-development podcasts, or winding down with a bit of gaming.
