About the store
Prior to picking up homeschooling two of our children 5 years ago, on the passing away of my wife, I worked as a Chartered Accountant (=CPA) in all kinds of industry and business/organisation size. I also spent time in management, and my last role included a strong business advisory focus. It is working with such a wide variety of people in an eclectic range of roles that enabled me to see this huge gap in the knowledge base of the majority of people. Whether the person was CEO of a multi-million business, the cleaner of the same business (or anyone in between), or worked as a professional in a not-for-profit, or government department or council, everyone was lacking in this basic training.

Experience

Prior to picking up homeschooling two of our children 5 years ago, on the passing away of my wife, I worked as a Chartered Accountant (=CPA) in all kinds of industry and business/organisation size. I also spent time in management, and my last role included a strong business advisory focus. It is working with such a wide variety of people in an eclectic range of roles that enabled me to see this huge gap in the knowledge base of the majority of people. Whether the person was CEO of a multi-million business, the cleaner of the same business (or anyone in between), or worked as a professional in a not-for-profit, or government department or council, everyone was lacking in this basic training.

Teaching style

I believe in keeping it simple, in repetition, in learning being fun.

My own education history

I completed a Bachelor of Commerce in 1985, majoring in Accounting. Since then I've learnt a lot!
