As CFO at the Warwick Credit Union, Kellie Doherty is responsible for upholding the financial wellbeing of the credit union and its 14,000 members across Warwick, Allora, Killarney, Inglewood, Dalby and Gympie.
Warwick identity Kellie formerly served as a regulatory accountant for 11 years at the community-owned financial institution and has now been CFO for 12 months.
Kellie began studying accounting part-time at university whilst working full-time in grain trading and then ventured into accounting and banking. Kellie completed a Bachelor of Commerce through USQ. She went on to complete a Chartered Accountant accounting program with Warwick Credit Union – and thus began her impressive career in finance.
Kellie said there are many advantages to working at the credit union, but what she loves most is the close relationship between staff, the board of directors, the institution’s members, and the wider community. The credit union also prides itself on empowering women which is fantastic for the community. There will be a table of ladies from the Credit Union heading along to the annual Zonta Women’s Day Breakfast.
Kellie was born and bred in Warwick and spent some time in Toowoomba before moving back to the Credit Union in 2010. Away from the computer screen at work, Kellie enjoys social outings with friends such as a day at the races or the odd wine tour. Being a part of the Warwick community also means an annual trip to the rodeo. Being a nerdy accountant has a few nerdy hobbies like knitting, crochet and reading.
