Janelle Wheeler

Managing Principal

I thoroughly enjoy working with small business clients.  Working with them to evolve and grow is one of the most rewarding aspects of my life.  It isn’t a job – it is a pleasure.

Janelle grew up in in country north Queensland in a family of successful business owners.  A love for this sector took her into a career including banking, commercial management and accounting.  Her working life has encompassed senior management level roles – and also forging relationships with business clients.  Now enjoying the glorious Cairns lifestyle, she can combine a love of small business with real life balance.  Her mantra to clients – work for the life you desire!

A random fun fact – Janelle is a tragic Tom Jones fan!

Michelle Chesworth

SMSF Administration Director

Michelle is a Director at SiDCOR, specialising in Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF’s) and leading the Super Team. She has a Bachelor of Commerce and is a member of CPA Australia, has a Diploma of Financial Planning and holds a Tax Agents Licence and Public Practice Certificate.

My ‘why’ is to help clients with the challenges of business life, wealth creation and retirement.

Work

We believe that staff should be supported in growing into their potential, both personally and professionally. We conduct monthly training that not only focuses on how we do things, but why we do it. We recognise staff that have lived the values in a significant way, and reward them for the contribution they make to our business.

Play

SiDCOR is more than a business – it is a family. And families don’t just work together, they play together too. We get together regularly for dinner or drinks, games or sports at lunchtime, and always celebrate the important occasions. We also believe it is important to ‘give back,’ and contribute as a team to various charities and their key events.
