I’m Andrew, and although I might not look like one, I’m an accountant, or at least for a large part of my life thats what I identified as.. Founding Illumin8 back in 2012 has allowed me to lead an amazing team that share my passion for helping small business owners do more of what they love. We have been able to be more than "just an accountant" and truly believe that accountants of today and tomorrow need to be more and do more.

Being so connected with the accounting community has given me great opportunities to share the Illumin8 journey, as well as be impacted by those blazing their trail at the same time. Be it one on one, or on a stage in front of many, I have a strong passion to share about potential. Potential of my industry, of people, businesses & of our community as a whole.

Having met many amazing people along my journey I have also played a role in starting up a social enterprise, sitting on a handful of technology advisory boards and travelling the world to share my passion. These days I find myself driving the vision of Illumin8, guiding others along their entrepreneurial path, jumping on stage to share the noise & chasing mini projects of my own.

I’m proud of the successes to date and what makes it even more important is that it forms part of my personal journey. One that involves my amazing family, a love of whisky (watch out for the whisky bar of the future) and taking advantage of every memorable moment...not the fake Instagram memorable - but ones that truly matter.
