Keren Buckland
Senior Manager - Ballarat
Keren Buckley is a highly respected Senior Manager within the Ballarat Business Advisory team at RSM Australia.
With a strong background in accounting and a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by middle market and regional small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), Keren brings both technical expertise and genuine care to her client relationships.
Her career in accounting spans over two decades, beginning with a 15-year tenure at a small practice in Ballarat.
This experience laid the foundation for her practical, hands-on approach to business advisory. It also gave her a strong appreciation for the intricacies of regional businesses and the importance of tailored financial strategies.
Since joining RSM Australia, Keren has continued to build on this foundation, becoming known for her unwavering support and commitment to helping her clients succeed.
Keren’s passion for accounting is evident in everything she does. She is driven by a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of business owners, particularly those navigating the complexities of running a business in regional areas.
Her approach is grounded in empathy, precision, and a deep understanding of the financial pressures that can impact both business performance and personal wellbeing.
One of Keren’s most memorable client experiences involved helping a small business that was struggling with slow receivable collections and rising operational costs. By working closely with the client, Keren was able to identify inefficiencies in their invoicing practices and implement a more streamlined system. She also introduced cost-cutting measures and developed a simplified cash flow forecasting model. These changes led to significant improvements in the business’s cash flow, allowing the owners to make more informed decisions and regain control of their financial future.
“Running a business can be complex and stressful. With proper advice I can provide my clients with clarity and confidence in their next steps. Their success drives me to continue helping people."
Keren’s business philosophy centres on building long-term relationships based on trust, transparency, and mutual respect. She takes the time to understand each client’s goals, challenges, and values, ensuring that her advice is not only technically sound but also aligned with their broader vision. Her clients appreciate her approachable nature, her ability to simplify complex financial concepts, and her commitment to being a reliable partner in their business journey.
While Keren works with a diverse range of clients, she has a particular focus on regional businesses and those operating in the Agribusiness sector.
She is passionate about supporting farmers and agricultural enterprises, helping them restructure their operations, improve financial sustainability, and plan for long-term success.
Her work in this space often involves navigating generational transitions, succession planning, and adapting to changing market conditions—all areas where her experience and insight prove invaluable.
Outside of work, Keren is a proud mother of four children. Her family is a central part of her life, and she credits her children with instilling in her a strong sense of pride and purpose.
She strives to be a positive role model, both at home and in her professional life, and brings the same level of care and dedication to her clients as she does to her family.
When she’s not working or spending time with her children, Keren enjoys watching AFL and supporting local football teams. She’s also an avid hiker and camper, often heading out into nature to recharge and reflect.
