Meet Collins Hume Emerging Talent Kaleb Morhaus

Kaleb Morhaus joined Collins Hume in February 2024 as an undergraduate accountant.

Balancing his studies with gaining hands-on experience, Kaleb is quickly grasping his new role in accounting public practice. 

Kaleb is from the picturesque town of Skennars Head. His initial venture into the business world was as the Venue Manager at White Bull in Armidale where he combined study with running a pub. During his time there, he took on a semi-bookkeeping role, which sparked his interest in accounting. 

At Collins Hume, Kaleb's typical day involves preparing individual and partnership tax returns and Business Activity Statements (BAS) for Peter and Jamie’s team. His role is a blend of learning and applying accounting principles. 

For Kaleb, Collins Hume offers a family-friendly environment that supports his academic journey providing study leave and other forms of support, allowing him to balance his education and professional responsibilities effectively. He appreciates the supportive atmosphere and the firm's understanding of the demands of being a student. 

Outside of work, Kaleb is active in his community. He plays soccer for Lennox Head Football Club and is an avid supporter of Liverpool FC. Apart from study commitments, his personal life is filled by spending time with his girlfriend and their puppy, enjoying our beautiful beaches and making a return to a coastal lifestyle. 

At Collins Hume, Kaleb is not just building his career but also contributing to a supportive and dynamic workplace. We look forward to seeing Kaleb's continued growth and achievements in the field of accounting.
