Yvonne Pike

In 1983, a bright young Yvonne got her break in her final year of high school, when she was given the opportunity to join the then L Patison & Partners. The next 20 years saw her working in every aspect of the business - moving through all the administration roles as well as working as an accountant and paraplanner.  During this time Yvonne was instrumental in assisting the business move from manual systems to computerised ones.  This gave Yvonne an enormous depth of accounting knowledge and an understanding of our clients and their businesses.  She has now been with the firm for 40 years – a testament to her passion for the business, and love of the clients and team members Yvonne works with on a daily basis.

After embarking on her career, Yvonne came back to further education years later with a Diploma in Financial Planning and another in HR. These qualifications then allowed Yvonne to join the leadership team in 2003 as an irreplaceable member of the team. 

The people are what’s kept Yvonne so happily at Patison for the last 40 years. They are her second family, her friends. Yvonne loves the supportive nature of our team, celebrating the wins and recognising milestones together. She truly enjoys coming to work and making an impact on the lives of her teammates and our clients. 

Outside of work, you’ll find Yvonne playing the piano, watching Geelong bag another victory and catching up with family and friends. She’s been fortunate enough to enjoy extensive travel with her husband – Italy being her favourite destination.
