Having endured the childhood torment of endless times tables done on the floor before dinner, Andrew has grown up with numbers running through his veins and an interest in accounting and business. His approach to accounting is holistic, balancing the big picture yet also resolved in the details. If a client calls to ask for his advice on a milestone decision they’re mulling over, his first response can often be ….. ‘will it make your life better?’

Often mistaken as a Hesten Blumenthal lookalike, there’s no smoke and mirrors when it comes to sharing an opinion on a clients position or approach. Somewhere between honest feedback and ‘in your face’, an opinion is also delivered after careful consideration of alternatives. Striving to achieve a less formal working relationship with clients and team members, the office environment created is deliberately informal with many late afternoon meetings featuring a cheeky pinot.

Working in an industry where you actually don’t make anything, satisfaction comes in knowing you’ve made a contribution to the lives of his many clients.
