About Jane Tisdall

Hi there. I’m Jane, the founder of Bonitas Partners Pty Ltd. I’m a forward-thinking leader and well known for my strong commitment to supporting and empowering female entrepreneurs. With more than two decades of experience as a Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) and Registered Tax Agent, I have solidified my reputation as a trusted advisor and champion for female-led small businesses. 


As a young accountant, I yearned to have a professional mentor willing to share their insight, wisdom, inspiration and support. Sadly, this desire was not readily available at the time. Because of this gap, I quickly knew the value of having a professional mentor who can offer guidance, inspiration, support and encouragement.


This led me to start my own practice, Bonitas Partners Pty Ltd, with one key purpose: to demystify financial complexities and nurture the growth of female small businesses.

My mission is clear - to empower female-led small businesses through the use of storytelling so they understand their numbers and feel well equipped to steer their business in the right direction. 


My approach goes beyond traditional accounting practices. I stress the importance of cultivating a deep understanding of one's finances and taking responsibility for their financial outcomes. This philosophy empowers my clients, giving them the confidence to manage the twists and turns that come with owning and running a business.


I ensure female small business owners are equipped not only to achieve financial success but also to carve a legacy that will resonate beyond their immediate accomplishments. 


I am passionate about giving back to my community at a personal and professional level. I hold several volunteer positions with a variety of organisations including The Graduate Union of the University of Melbourne (Graduate House), The Friends of the Auburn Tower Inc. and the Geelong branch of CPA Australia. I am also the One Roof Ambassador for the Geelong community. 

I am dedicated to seeing you succeed. I'll take the time to understand exactly what you need, then give you the tools and support to take your business forward.

“Jane's attention to detail and her commitment to her role were above and beyond our expectations.


Jane was a pleasure to deal with, was technically proficient and was always on the front foot with issues to let us as the auditors know if there were matters that required our attention so as to avoid issues at the critical accounts presentation time.”

Kristie Dundon

Partner, Audit and Assurance, RSM Australia

“Jane joined DMTC at a time when we needed absolute clarity and fidelity on the numbers and on a range of compliance and governance issues. She delivered this in spades and worked extraordinarily hard in the early stages of her time with DMTC to consolidate the confidence in our partnerships with industry, research sector and Defence stakeholders.


Her work ethic is second to none, as is her attention to detail and determination to provide workable solutions for the many stakeholders involved, including the CEO, Board and partner organisations, notably including auditors who remarked on several occasions the degree to which their job was made easier through Jane's comprehensive preparation and presentation of the accounts.


Jane has been a valuable and valued member of the executive and continues to enjoy the confidence of all.”

“For the past year, Bonitas Partners has been working with the Duldig Studio Museum and Sculpture Garden to ensure the organisation’s management accounts and statutory audit is completed in a timely and informative manner.


They have also assisted with all tax compliance lodgements and most recently, was very proactive to ensure the organisation was optimally positioned to benefit from Commonwealth, State and Local Government relief packages related to COVID-19.


Throughout this period, Jane has been extremely well organised, knowledgeable in her areas of expertise and has provided great assistance to the Studio Director, Treasurer and Board of Management."
