What's one piece of accounting advice you think all business owners should follow?
Snap the receipt and forward the invoice as soon as it lands. That way you've done your bit and don't have to scramble when your bookkeeper comes chasing.

What's your role at the firm, and what does a typical day look like for you?
I'm the bookkeeper. I process the transactions and keep on top of your day-to-day, so you can gain insight into your company.

What do you like to do outside of work?
I enjoy taking my little one out and about, exploring the world.

What's one myth about accountants you'd like to bust?
We aren't nags, we're just trying to save you easy money.

If you could automate one part of accounting forever, what would it be and why?
Receiving the paperwork to support the numbers.

If I wasn't an accountant, I would be...
A silversmith.
