Jerry Maguire meets the accounting profession - not your typical accountant ....
Having achieved success as an elite junior amateur golfer, reached the top of the management tree in running the Australian Open and Australian Masters golf tournaments with IMG and the now Golf Australia, and headed Australia’s largest Education & Training learning technology trade exhibition with DMG world media (where I had a mid life work-alcoholic crisis at age 25) –
on the back of the unfortunate suicide of a close family friend who had received some questionable business advice, I pursued a "proper job" in the accounting profession in February 2005 with the intention to gain the necessary skills and experience to be a successful sports agent offering both financial and taxation advice to rich and famous professional athletes throughout the world!

Under the guidance of mentors John Kennon, Gary Tomasetti and Mark Dunsmuir at WHK (Warragul), it did not take me long to appreciate and develop a passion for solving the "real life" problems facing business services clients operating in a multitude of industries and professions, therefore ditching my grand plans of servicing prototypical athletes with "cosmetic problems" -
for that of helping everyday people and businesses (my new athletes).

Thanks to the arrival of our first child Magnus in October 2007, I changed my work status to part time with WHK to take the opportunity to spend time with him whilst completing the rigorous and intensive Chartered Accountants Program in November 2009.

It was this experience and time with Magnus that sees me in my own business today.
With the arrival of our daughter Matilda on 1 July 2010 (accountant’s daughter), my wife/childhood sweetheart and I both worked part time to invest time in our kids early development, until the opportunity in July 2011 arose for her to return to secondary PE teaching (for 40 weeks of the year) full time.
This resulted in me being full time daddy day care and part time accountant (full time in school holidays when we "tag").

Almost a year on, we have our "game of tag" down pat whereby I have the capacity and flexibility to see clients at times
(be it weekday, weekend, morning, afternoon or night) and places (home, office or client premises) convenient to them.
This part time game will continue until Matilda reaches primary school in January 2015, upon when I will flick the full time switch
and launch many exciting ventures that will revolutionise the way accounting services are delivered.
