Selam Wubshet

Selam came to accounting because numbers have always made sense to her — not just in the abstract, but in the way they shape real decisions for real people. Tax, in particular, drew her in for a reason many overlook: it never stands still. The regulations shift, the problems change, and the thinking required keeps pace. That kind of challenge suits her well.

She studied at the University of Sunderland, UK, building a strong foundation in financial reporting, auditing, and taxation. She is currently working towards her ACCA qualification — a commitment that reflects not just technical ambition, but a genuine investment in the quality of service she delivers to clients.

At Kennedy Tax and Business Services, Selam works with individuals and small to medium-sized businesses across tax compliance, financial record management, and day-to-day accounting support. The problems she solves are often deceptively simple: records that have fallen behind, software that isn’t being used effectively, returns that need to be accurate and on time. She steps in, brings order, and makes sure nothing is missed.

Clients describe her as straightforward, knowledgeable, and easy to approach — someone who takes the complexity out of the conversation without losing the detail. Deadlines are met. Questions are welcomed. The process doesn’t have to be stressful, and with Selam, it isn’t.

Her advice is consistent: keep your records accurate and up to date throughout the year. It makes everything easier — filing, planning, and finding the savings that only show up when the numbers are in order.

Outside of work, Selam keeps the same curiosity that drives her professionally — learning, travelling, and staying connected with the people and interests that keep life in balance.
