The Acis team.

As one of the key driving forces behind our ongoing success, Jackson Liu joined the Acis team in October 2023 where he is single-mindedly focused on driving revenue through strategic growth initiatives.   

With diverse leadership experience under his belt, most recently serving as the Chief Commercial Officer at global SaaS business, Neota, Jackson is a strong advocate for building high-performance teams. The combination of his passion for embedding people, process, and culture into our company ethos, and a reputation for being a fair and rational leader, has resulted in Jackson securing his place as a respected member of the Acis team. 

Despite being a personal trainer in his former life, the wisdom Jackson would impart with his younger self is, ‘Life is not a race!’ In keeping with this mantra and in his quest for perfecting work-life balance, outside of work you’ll find him staying active while listening to podcasts. But a win at work is never far from his mind and—perhaps predictably—a win at work for Jackson will always be summed up in one word: growth! 

With prior in-house legal experience and a background in private practice as a law graduate, Maryam’s heart has always been set on being part of an in-house legal team. Along with her legal expertise, she brings cultural fluency as a multilinguist, so we were thrilled to welcome her to Legal Services Team in March 2024.    

For Maryam, a win at work includes happy clients and learning something new every day. As an integral part of our dynamic legal team, Maryam’s main responsibilities revolve around drafting trust deed amendments, superannuation amendments, upgrading the governing law and handling superannuation secretarial work.   

Outside of work, Maryam loves to unwind at the beach with her husband and their children, with the Sunshine Coast being her happy place. But what many people may not know about her is that she used to teach belly dancing. Rumour has it her colleagues are lining up to learn some moves.  

Jarrod’s journey to the legal profession has been nothing short of extraordinary. Setting out on what some may see as an unconventional path, his perseverance and dedication have been unparalleled. From a Coles shelf packer to a HUMES concreter to a self-employed personal trainer to a customer service worker at Target, we’re excited that Jarrod found his way to his current role as Legal Services Officer at Acis.   

A passionate Acis team player since March 2024, Jarrod has taken on the responsibility of amending trusts and funds, solving legal problems, and indulging in his love of learning. His unique talent lies in his unwavering perseverance, a quality that has propelled him past every obstacle and makes him a perfect fit for the hardworking culture within the legal team.  

Outside of work Jarrod finds solace in fishing with his wife, nature and bird watching, and getting lost in a good book. As he continues to write the chapters of his life adventure, we expect that Jarrod’s ability to surprise and impress are far from over!  

Darascilla brings a wealth of experience to her position at Acis. Following a stint in the banking industry, she worked for a number of years at accounting firms where she developed her interest in company set-ups and structuring. 

All this multi-faceted experience combines to make Darascilla a valued member of our Acis team where she expertly reviews Acis documents to deliver a first-class customer service experience.

When she has some downtime, she’ll either be engrossed in a real crime documentary or indulging her other passion for interior design.

Before finding her way to Acis, Enya had quite the eclectic professional journey. Honing her customer experience skills in roles that range from being a host at a day spa to exploring the realms of retail, she even ventured into the exciting world of the film industry!   

We’re happy to say that Enya is now indulging in her discovered passion for administration at Acis, where customer satisfaction is her primary focus. A quick learner, she is at-the-ready to set up client orders for success and continues to master operational tasks to ensure a positive experience for our customers.   

An entertaining yet thoughtful teammate, outside of work you’ll find Enya soaking up the sun at the beach, cuddling with adorable pets, enjoying live theatre, or indulging in Netflix marathons.   

As a hidden talent —and with a penchant for rap (did someone say Fletty Wap?)— Enya comes from an acting background, having featured in a car commercial and represented Australia in an online monologue competition, the latter of which is still a favourite hobby. One thing we’re sure of, Acis customers will be hard-pressed to resist her stage presence!   

A lifetime in the accounting industry seemed to have led naturally to Acis when Helgard joined the team as our Customer Success Manager. Helgard’s wealth of experience has seen him in roles across private practice, corporate accounting and e-commerce. He now focusses all that expertise on supporting Acis clients in building the value of their businesses and, in turn, the value of their client relationships.

Using his knowledge of the professional wealth management industry, Helgard is forging strong ties with Acis clients and ensuring they are making the most of our market-leading technology. His skills as an ambidextrous golfer will surely come in handy as he juggles Acis’ diverse client base.

With two young kids at home, Helgard keeps himself busy but he tells us he can “really” run 100 metres in 11 seconds *cough Mick*, so he has the energy to keep going.

Brooke has a pivotal role in the Acis Sales & Marketing team. She manages all aspects of the marketing and communication programme, and is the linchpin for our events, sponsorships and campaigns. A stickler for delivering a positive brand experience across all touchpoints, she works hard to ensure Acis clients understand everything they need to know about our products and services.

Prior to joining Acis, Brooke worked in marketing and event management roles for Australia’s highest awarded coffee roaster and a corporate hospitality group where she learned the importance of attention to detail and a ‘can-do’ attitude.

She also happens to be a first-class barista, a keen golfer and she loves a day out at the races. And here’s a fun fact: just like her famous namesake, Brooke also used to be a competitive swimmer.
