Bio
Ray Liang
Mingkun is one of the hardest working and committed professionals I've had the privilege of working with over my career to-date. I had worked with Mingkun on a number of projects as external tax adviser. Her engagement in the transactions, the commercial input she provided as well as the time she spent with our team was incredible and certainly beyond what would be expected.

Mingkun is a driven professional who knows how to get things done.She is knowledgeable in her accounting professions and most importantly willing to share it with others. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her for almost three months now and I’ve already learned valuable knowledge for accounting. Mingkun's great experience enables her to develop simple solutions that works and which can be communicated at all levels within the company. Mingkun possesses excellent communication skills and is able to express herself with confidence and maturity. She has proved to be both willing and flexible and she is always prepared to help out when needed.

I was directly reporting to Mikki while working in NZGFT. She was an outstanding Accounting Manager and also a great leader. She always had creative ideas and was capable of adopting the best resolution. Also, she had the ability to rally people to work towards it. For example, She put forward the budget/month end policy for NZGFT from the scratch. And she guided accounting team to implement and improve the accounting procedures . The examples above are just part of her contribution. Personally, I appreciate her excellence in CPA program with HD and utilisation of professional knowledge in practical field. Moreover, her communication skill and time-management skill are highly evaluated in the team. She was well-organised with marking her calendar and prioritising tasks any time any place if necessary. And this inspired me how to improve myself. I really enjoyed working with her.
