Jolene Hannah

Original Founder and Director

A Chartered Accountant who likes to lead by example by being present and offering simple solutions.

Hard to believe my accounting journey started fresh out of school at the age of 17 for a local accounting firm in Tauranga. After years away from Tauranga, living in London, Canada and being a “scarfie” down in Dunedin for my studies I was lured back to Tauranga where my accounting journey really took off. Having started Legacy Accountants back in 2012 with Jason and Barry and having the two locations serving the Bay it’s been an adventure, but one I’ll never regret taking or being a part of. For those that know me well they know I love a challenge, and change, so am pumped for what Legacy Tauranga is going to achieve in the coming years.

I’m super proud of the team we have around us, the growth they have experienced both at work and in their personal lives is incredible. I am thankful they can do such an amazing job at holding down the fort whilst I’m travelling to some far fetched part of the world, of which I have plenty of things on my “50 things to do before I’m 50” list.

If I’m not working then I have some project on the go, never a time to sit still for long! Can’t wait to see what the next 10 years has install for us…. yeeeeehhhaaaawwww!
