“GST – sure you can google it, but is the answer accurate and are you even asking the right question?” You see, in all my 17 year of working in accounting and finance I think I have seen every mistake or error under the sun, so nothing surprises me too much anymore. However it is since the introduction of GST in 2000 that I have seen some real doozies. Sometimes… Read more
Scream, cry, sulk, get angry, question your ability, feel worthless, feel embarrassed…embrace it and move on. I have been faced with redundancy not once but twice. Both times I was on maternity leave – yet both experiences were vastly different. Whilst neither of the situations was planned (in fact they both knocked me for a six) my approach was different – and I have lived to tell the tale. And… Read more
Where is your secretary? I don’t have one. I received a phone call yesterday from a new potential client and her first response to me was “I am shocked you answered the phone – I just assumed you would have a secretary”. Whilst I tried to keep a straight face (although on the phone this was a bit easier) it made me realise there are so many people in my… Read more

It doesn’t mean I can’t connect with business owners. And you know what – I actually… Read more
If one more person congratulates me on being “Mumpreneur” I think I am going to lose the plot. No I am not being ungrateful, I find the term a bit sexist.

For such a long period of time, the accountant was the guy you went to visit once a year. They sat in a corner office in some high rise Collins Street address, the receptionist would usher you into an office with an immaculate view, they would waltz in and ask you how you are and what have been up to for the past 12 months, you would hand them over… Read more
Some clients need is a little bit of guidance or coaching around their financial information – what to look for, when to look for it, how to do some calculations and assess what is working and what is not working.
