Warren Garth
Warren founded CATS Accountants in 1998. He is a 30 year member of CPA Australia, has been a member of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries, Australia since 1986 and is also a Tax Agent.
Prior to establishing an accounting practice, Warren worked at an Executive/Director level with BOC, both in Australia and overseas.

With his management background Warren has seen CATS Accountants develop into a team of caring and empowered individuals with the emphasis on his values of respect, integrity, quality and empathy.
In his “spare time” Warren is the treasurer of both the Central Coast Business Enterprise Centre and the Wyong Chamber of Commerce. He finds it extremely rewarding supporting local business – from people starting out on a new venture to those who are more well established.
Warren enjoys the challenge of not only helping people to meet their obligations from a taxation perspective, but to also assist them to understand the intricacies and responsibilities of running a business of any size.

In May 2005, CATS Accountants was fortunate to have a bubbly and vivacious high school student work with them for a week to find out what it was really like working in an accounting practice. Angie’s attitude and aptitude were so well suited to the team that CATS Accountants employed her on a part time basis as a receptionist while she finished her HSC.
Currently studying for her Commerce Degree, Angie as a Trainee Accountant, is dealing with all aspects of accounting for our clients with small to medium sized businesses.
Angie is an inspirational team member and is always enthusiastic for our firm to be efficient and productive. Her passion for life ensures that working with her is a constant pleasure not only for our clients but also for the team at CATS Accountants.

After 15 years of experience across various industry groups on the Central Coast and Sydney, Tressa decided her goal was to study for an accounting qualification and work with an accounting firm.
In February 2007, Tressa commenced with CATS Accountants as a receptionist and administrative assistant. Due to her enthusiasm for learning, she very quickly launched into the role of a Trainee Accountant and has well and truly embraced the challenges of preparing a wide range of individual tax returns.
