The response was overwhelming.

One of the first people I helped was a friend who had around three years of accounting work to sort through.

We opened Xero and started working.

But as we went through the numbers, something else started happening.

Fear surfaced.

Shame surfaced.

Past financial decisions surfaced.

Trauma from a domestic violence relationship surfaced.

Fear about her future surfaced.

And instead of ignoring all of that and telling her to find a therapist while I finished reconciling the accounts, I used everything I had learned over the previous years to help her move through what was coming up.

We dealt with the numbers and the human being experiencing them.

We got the work done.

Afterwards she looked at me and said “Oh my God. You should be The Spiritual Accountant.”

I laughed.

Absolutely not.

For about three months she kept telling me this was what I was supposed to do.

For about three months I kept rejecting it.

But legacy is funny like that.

You can ignore the tap on your shoulder, but eventually it becomes impossible not to hear it.

So I stopped running from it.

And The Spiritual Accountant was born.

Today, I help people create, manage and protect wealth differently.

My work sits at the intersection of financial intelligence, business strategy, human behaviour, spirituality, consciousness and lived experience.

I understand numbers.

I understand business.

I understand what happens when businesses grow.

I understand what happens when they collapse.

I've experienced partnership breakdowns, corporate environments, bankruptcy, rebuilding, motherhood, divorce, entrepreneurship and starting again when there wasn't much left to start with.

I've also spent years studying the human being behind all of it.

Because I've learned that you can give somebody the perfect spreadsheet, business plan or financial strategy, but if fear, shame, identity, avoidance or self-worth is controlling their decisions, the spreadsheet isn't the real problem.

I don't just want you to have better numbers.

I want you to understand them.

I want you to know what they mean.

I want you to be able to make decisions from them.

I want you to build something sustainable.

I want you to stop outsourcing your power.

And ultimately, I want you to create wealth that actually means something.

Not simply rich in the bank while bankrupting every other part of your life.

So, about tax... People still contact me every day asking me to do their tax.

I don't.

I haven't provided tax-agent services for years.

Following my bankruptcy, I no longer held the professional registrations associated with that chapter of my career, and I made the conscious decision not to rebuild my work around tax compliance.

Because by then, I knew my work was somewhere else.

Today my role is education, strategy, financial empowerment, business development, wealth creation and helping people understand the financial world around them.

Where regulated tax, accounting, legal or financial advice is required, I believe in working with appropriately licensed professionals.

My job isn't to take your power away by becoming another person you blindly depend upon.

My job is to help you become a more informed, capable and powerful participant in your own business and financial life.

Why work with me?

Because I haven't learned business exclusively from textbooks.

I've built businesses.

I've lost businesses.

I've advised businesses.

I've worked inside accounting practices.

I've worked alongside bookkeepers, accountants and tax professionals.

I've studied accounting formally at diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

I've worked in financial reporting, taxation, bookkeeping, audit support and CFO-level environments.

I've studied human behaviour, healing, spirituality and consciousness.

I've experienced bankruptcy and rebuilt.

I've seen what happens when people understand their money and what happens when they don't.

And I've spent almost two decades asking a question that still drives everything I create...

How do we use business, money and wealth to create better lives, stronger communities and something meaningful enough to leave behind?

That is the work I'm here to do.

And why might you not want to work with me?

Because I will probably ask you questions you weren't expecting.

I won't tell you that manifestation will fix a broken business model.

I won't tell you money doesn't matter.

I won't tell you making more money will magically make you wealthy.

I won't let spirituality become an excuse for avoiding your numbers.

And I won't encourage you to hand your power to me, another coach, an accountant or anyone else.

I've challenged conventional thinking throughout my career, and that hasn't always made me popular.

Some accounting professionals have been incredibly supportive and inspired by the work I've created. Others have strongly disagreed with it. My public work has attracted complaints, scrutiny and regulatory attention, including an ATO and AFP search in a chapter of my career.

Those experiences changed how I work and what I choose to speak about publicly, but they didn't change the reason I do this work.

I'm not interested in fighting systems for attention.

I'm interested in building solutions.

So if you're looking for someone to simply tell you what you want to hear, I'm probably not your person.

But if you're prepared to understand your business, confront what isn't working, take responsibility for your decisions, build something meaningful and create wealth without losing yourself in the process...

Welcome to my world.
