andy hollis

Andy’s roots run deep on the Gold Coast. He practically grew up surrounded by the hustle of small businesses here on the Coast, absorbing their ins and outs like it was second nature. That early exposure set the stage for his career in accounting, a journey that's spanned well over a decade now.

 

Being a member of CPA Australia and a certified Xero advisor. He's all about merging his accounting and business advisory smarts with the power of tech to give businesses that extra boost. And boy, does he love seeing those businesses grow and scale!

 

But don't let his number-crunching persona fool you. Andy's a local sports fanatic, having put in some serious game time playing AFL for the local Tigers in the QAFL as well as playing rugby for the Bond University Breakers and Gold Coast Eagles. While he's hung up his boots, the love for sport still lingers. Now, it's all about mastering the greens in golf and keeping that lawn in tip-top shape.

 

His downtime? That's reserved for family and friends. His wife and three kids are his world. Their adventures and laughter light up his days in ways no spreadsheet ever could.

 

From business advisory to sinking putts, Andy's life is a colorful mix of professional hustle, sports passion, and family bonds.

Jason's been knee-deep in the accounting and advisory game for a solid decade-plus. He's had his hands in all sorts of client pies across different industries. Outsourced CFO, CEO gigs—yeah, he's done it all. But where he really hits his stride? Helping out entrepreneurs, especially those hustling in startups and small to medium-sized businesses. That's his jam.

 

When he's not crunching numbers, you'll find Jason chilling on the Gold Coast. It's been his stomping ground for over a decade now. And boy, does he know how to unwind. But the real MVPs in his life? That's his wife and two kids.

 

Those moments away from the grind, that's where he thrives. Whether it's kicking a ball around with the kids or just kicking back with friends and family, those are the scenes that make life grand. See, it's not all about the balance sheets and business plans for Jason. It's about balancing the work buzz with the simple joys that keep him ticking.
