Joe Moran

Bachelor of Commerce
Member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand
Registered Tax Agent

Joe has been in public practice for over 20 years and over that time has built a large and diverse client base who value his expertise in taxation matters, business management, investments strategies and financial management accounting.

Joe likes to build close relationships with his business clients to the point that he is regarded as part of the company. This has proven to be a successful approach as he has achieved great success in assisting clients to grow their business. One of his key strengths is budget development and management integrated with tax planning.

As the father of three young children Joe does not have a lot of spare time outside the office but what is available is either spent with friends or family, on the golf course, doing some running and supporting the Pies!

Zeina Moran

Bachelor of Economics
Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand
Member of CPA Australia
Registered Company Auditor
Approved External Examiner with the Victorian Legal Services Board
Registered Tax Agent

Zeina began working with her father Peter Moran at Peter Moran & Co, now Moran Accountants, after graduating from Monash University more than 30 years ago.

During that time Zeina has built a substantial client base who seek her advice regarding strategic planning, business management and taxation matters. An advocate of good corporate governance, Zeina also provides audit services for all types and sizes of business including but not limited to not-for-profit organisations, incorporated associations, schools and trust accounts for lawyers, accountants, real estate agents and conveyancers.

In her spare time Zeina enjoys cooking for family and friends. Travelling and exploring new places is also a favourite pastime along with taking casual long walks and reading a good book. She is never far away from enjoying a Collingwood win either!

Note: Zeina and Lily are identical twins. While other staff are generally able to tell them apart, confusion is the norm with clients. Zeina’s son John has recently joined the firm, starting the third generation of accountants in the family!

Lily Moran

Outside of work Lily is a keen cook and spends time with her family. She relaxes by taking walks.

Note: Lily and Zeina are identical twins. While other staff are generally able to tell them apart, confusion is the norm with clients.

Vivek Agarwal

Bachelor of Commerce
Masters in Accounting
Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ)
Member of CPA Australia

Vivek has worked at Moran Accountants since 2007 and specialises in taxation matters including GST, PAYG and income tax audits. He is committed to being up-to-date on legislative changes and places great emphasis on his continuing professional development to enhance his skills and ensure his clients are getting the best information and service possible.

Vivek’s experience includes running a textile manufacturing business in India and employment in the advertising and telecommunication industries. As a result he has built a diverse client base that values his calm yet friendly manner and his considered opinion and assistance with their financial matters. Vivek believes his success is due to his ability to understand and clarify his client’s business objectives and taxation requirements. Consequently he has strong personal relationships with his clients who respond to his positive attitude and the personal service he delivers.

Outside of Moran Accountants, Vivek is involved with a number of community organisations and relaxes by spending time with family and friends. He enjoys going on long walks and HIIT training in the gym.
