Our Story
Za Consulting & Advisory delivers clarity, control and confidence to finance functions that need to evolve, scale or stabilise. Led by Elizabeth Tucker, the practice combines technical depth with strategic thinking, sharp execution and a calm, collaborative style.
Elizabeth brings over 20 years of experience across fast growth businesses, global teams and complex reporting environments. She has built finance teams from the ground up, led major budgeting and transformation programs, and supported CFOs during times of change and challenge.
Her work includes:
- Establishing a high performing finance function in a regulated renewable energy start up
- Scaling a legal finance team into a national group function
- Leading a two billion dollar budget process during system and organisational change
- Delivering consulting engagements focused on policy, process and performance
Za Consulting & Advisory is grounded in the same mindset that drives Elizabeth’s solo offshore sailing campaign, Za Ocean Racing — strategic, disciplined and unshaken by complexity.
Elizabeth is not your typical accountant. She sees the big picture, brings people with her, and delivers with clarity and purpose. Whether designing accounting frameworks or solving operational challenges, Za brings leadership and structure when it matters most.
