MrNicholas Alcorso

Nick Alcorso is an Industry Fellow at the University of Tasmania, where he manages the UTAS Tax Clinic, part of the ATO-funded National Tax Clinic Program. The clinic matches law and accounting students with vulnerable individuals and small businesses who could not otherwise afford professional advice, and services around 400 requests a year.

Nick is a Chartered Accountant, a Fellow of The Tax Institute and a software engineer. He began his career in software in Hobart, where he led the development of an Australia Post–certified address-matching engine. He then moved into public-practice accounting in Launceston, specialising in agribusiness and wine-industry tax, and automated key parts of his firm’s routine work.

His work brings tax practice, teaching and software together. He builds learning tools for tax and financial literacy, studies how AI is changing professional work, and has researched what drives undergraduate students’ sense of belonging.

Nick is The Tax Institute’s 2026 Tax Trailblazer for Tasmania and sits on its Tasmanian State Council.
