About
Jacob
Jacob is a registered company auditor with more than 12 years of experience in audit and assurance. He specialises in the not-for-profit, health, disability, and education sectors, and has led the development of audit methodology around the NDIS, Primary Health Networks, Government funded programs and schools. With expertise in IT audit methodology and contract compliance, Jacob brings both technical knowledge and practical insight to his work.
He works closely with purpose-driven organisations to deliver clear, practical advice across audit, internal controls, and financial reporting. Jacob assists not-for-profits, healthcare providers, disability service organisations, and education providers to navigate compliance, funding requirements, and financial complexity—so they can focus on their mission and vision.
Jacob began his career in business services before moving into audit, and since joining Cutcher & Neale in early 2017 he has worked closely with clients to analyse financial performance, budget assumptions, and service reporting. His areas of expertise include:
- Funding compliance and audits
- Internal control reviews
- Budget and cost allocation analysis
- IT system migration audits and data integrity checks
- Service-level and contract-based reporting
Known for his down-to-earth approach, Jacob makes sure clients not only meet their obligations, but also understand the “why” behind the numbers.
