So this happened today... I’m grateful to be counted among some amazing young leaders of our profession in @saica_ca_sa’s Top 35 under 35 finalist cohort of 2022. Congratulations to each of you! And all credit to the amazing team @OCFOza - this is your win! #Top35U35
How funny! They asked an accountant to present on marketing, PR and social media for today’s @GrindstoneXL brand and marketing day. Thanks for the experiment, @willjngreen & Cameron Burt! So great to reflect on the marketing machine we have built. #marketing #entrepreneurship

A company is such a great excuse to bring amazing people together. Lunch with some of the leadership team at @OCFOza. We're focusing on more time spent outside of just work as we double down on connection. What season are you in? #team #leadership #execution #worldofwork
On our way in to the @Xero Partner of the Year Finalists dinner ahead of tomorrow’s big awards ceremony. Well done and congrats to all of our Xero Champions who are making things happen! And regarding the mug - GO MATIES!!!
