I’m obsessed with how effective automation and integration can produce timely clean data, to surface information for brave, fast data-informed decision making. I’ve implemented systems, processes, and training for hundreds of businesses, resulting in improved financial management and informed decision-making. Better data, better decisions, better business.
Embracing my education background and solution driven nature, I empower, educate and support the community to positively embrace Accounting Apps through educational content. Notably: Accounting Apps newsletter, podcast, Community, YouTube channel and authoring ten books.
I won the Australian Accounting Thought Leader of the Year Award, and was recognised on USA’s Accounting Today’s list of 21 influential figures shaping the future of the accounting industry.
Sitting at the intersection of accounting and content creation, I’m a strategic thought partner to leading AccounTech SaaS businesses worldwide. I’m curious. I absorb hundreds of Accounting Tech blogs and podcasts, ensuring cutting-edge knowledge and insights to inform and support the wider community.

There’s very few of us who actually like yourself, Heather, are independent, who are putting out their thoughts based on experience, and based on not necessarily being with a specific commercial bent in mind.
