Stephen has been advising businesses for over 30 years – from very small, sole trader businesses through to large multinationals, and everything in between. It is more than a job to Stephen – it is a passion. Success to Stephen (and yes enjoyment) is helping a business survive, become sustainable and prosper. He is very mindful that a business is about people and each stakeholder is a person. He understands that business owners not only have a financial responsibility, but they are accountable and responsible to people – employees, their own family, suppliers (and their employees and families), banks, landlords, the local community etc. This is what keeps Stephen awake at night during a turnaround – the impact and the ramifications of actions, or inactions, on other people. Stephen is a Chartered Accountant (CA), Certified Restructuring and Turnaround Practitioner (RTP), Fellow of Governance Institute Australia FGIA), Fellow Australian Corporate Treasurers Association (FACTA), Fellow Institute of Community Directors (FICDA) , Certified Mental Health First Aider
