If you’re ready to get started, we would love to hear from you!

Meet our Team

Renee Eagan

Founder & BAS Agent

Renee brings over a decade of experience in the accounting sector backed by a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) with Distinction. She began her accounting career in the city with one of the Big 4 accounting firms but soon realised there was way more to life than climbing the corporate ladder.

Instead, Renee decided to return home to the South Coast and spent the next 10 years working in Management and Tax accounting. After taking a short break from accounting employment, she decided to get her BAS Agent Licence and start her own accounting and bookkeeping business.

Outside of Beyond the Books Accounting, Renee is a Mindset Coach, Women’s Group Facilitator and co-parenting mum of one. She loves spending time in nature and cherishing every precious moment with her son. Renee truly believes that anything is possible, recognising the power of setting intentions, creating goals and taking aligned action to make them a reality.
