We would like to congratulate Karen Walmsley from [Powe Financial Advice](http://www.powefinancialadvice.com.au/) who was recently announced as a National Finalist in the 2016 [AFA](http://www.afa.asn.au/) Excellence in Education Awards. The state award recognises an outstanding commitment to advice through the participation in further education.

Karen sees education as an invaluable element of being a ‘modern adviser’. Karen has been a Certified Practicing Accountant since 1996 and is also a Registered Tax Agent. She emphasises helping clients structure their personal and business tax finances, both current and for the future.

We wish Karen the best of luck at the AFA National Adviser Conference in Canberra this October; where the national winner will be announced.
