Meet The Staff – Rebecca Simpson

Introducing Rebecca, a dedicated and passionate senior bookkeeper here at Harris Black who brings both professionalism and a vibrant personality to the team.

Bec’s passion for food and diverse cuisines is undeniable. Her perfect meal would be a seafood platter—whether homemade or from Georges Paragon. In the kitchen, she enjoys preparing dishes such as bruschetta, kheer (Indian rice pudding), tofu smoothie bowls, and bouillabaisse. With Italian cuisine as her top choice. Her favourite drink is calming rooibos tea. If given the opportunity, she’d share a meal with an inspiring mix of Marilyn Monroe, Prince, the Dalai Lama, and Shah Rukh Khan.

An avid reader and nature lover, Bec’s hobbies include curling up with a good book, gardening, and watching Bollywood movies. She’s passionate about learning and dreams of mastering multiple languages, including Italian, French, and Arabic. If she had a superpower, it would be the ability to fly, soaring alongside the birds.

Bec’s connection to relaxation and mindfulness is clear. The most calming place she’s ever visited was a Buddhist retreat in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and she’s eagerly anticipating an upcoming yoga retreat on North Stradbroke Island. She’s also determined to tick the Galapagos Islands off her bucket list one day.

Bec’s flair for colour and creativity is clear in her love for the bold vibrancy of ’80s clothing and her dream of joining the Spice Girls if given the chance. If she could go back in time, she’d travel to the 1920s to experience the world of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. With her love of renovation shows, she could even give a 40-minute presentation on the topic with no preparation!

Bec’s expertise, creativity, and positive outlook make her an integral part of the Harris Black team. We are proud to have her with us and look forward to seeing her continued contributions to our clients and team.
