Over the past year, she has led Payday Super information sessions across the state, delivered client education webinars, and represented Boyce through appearances in The Land, ABC Rural, 2GB, Sky News and the Humans of Agriculture podcast.
Julie's nomination recognises her commitment to proactive advice, genuine client relationships and strong involvement in regional communities.
Nicole is a Principal Advisor within the Generational Strategy team and works with family-owned businesses across regional Australia on succession planning, governance, leadership development and long-term business strategy.

Her nomination also acknowledges her commitment to mentoring emerging advisors, developing capability within Boyce and helping clients achieve both business and family outcomes through thoughtful, practical advice.
Matt is Head of Technology at Boyce, and has played a key role in helping the firm move beyond discussions about artificial intelligence and into practical application. His leadership has supported the development of a culture where AI is used confidently and responsibly to improve outcomes for clients.
His work has also attracted international attention, with Boyce's AI journey being shared on the global stage through presentations at the SuperAI Conference in Singapore, CPA Congress, and discussions with technology and business leaders from around the world.
These finalist recognitions highlight the diverse expertise that exists across Boyce, from helping regional businesses plan for the future, to supporting clients through complex financial decisions, to leading the adoption of emerging technologies.
