We do this through a unique combination of education, coaching, strategic thinking, monitoring, and looking after financial and tax compliance for the business.As an experienced chartered accountant and holder of a public practice certificate issued by CAANZ I lead a highly engaged, forward thinking team with passion and drive.We particularly want to work with ambitious business owners to grow their business and create a business that works without them.... "if your business doesn't work wthout you, then you have a job and not a business".

I am a current board member of this Not For Profit Trust that is responsible for overseeing the allocation of government funding for cochlear implants, North of Taupo.A cochlear implant gives recipients far greater personal independence and the ability to make a greater contribution to their families, work places and the community. I had a cochlear implant in 1996 and it changed my life. Deafness negatively impacts on all areas of a person's life - socially, emotionally and business/career. It can lead to depression and isolation.In recent years the government has made more public funding available to allow more deaf people to benefit from cochlear implant technology so they can lead fuller, more satisfying lives. The extra funding was made available after Pindrop Foundation presented compelling data analysis showing the huge ROI as a result of additional taxes paid by deaf people being able to continue to work, and the reduction in benefits and social services that would otherwise be paid out.
