Why choose me?

In case you’re curious, my background is as a career Chartered Accountant with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree.

My path to this qualification was an initial 3-year stint with professional services giant PWC. Ultimately, I went into my own accounting business which I ran for 25 years or so. From the early 1990s, my focus was on advisory services to small to medium-sized businesses with a small team of accountants focused on delivering tax and accounting solutions.

In 2014 I sold my practice to a financial services firm that is publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. I now focus on providing the skills, knowledge and experience gained over this journey in my business coaching practice to businesspeople just like you.
