I was trained as an accountant, and after a brief stint as an auditor, folIowed by a year as sole charge accountant at an engineering company, I started out at Sony Music (then CBS Records) looking after the Finance Department at one of NZ's big record companies.My goal was always to get out of accountancy, as was lucky to be able to take over the running.
