  • We explore why Chartered Accountants launch bookkeeping practices and the importance of clean data.
  • The impact of public facing accountability, working in public and sharing what you are doing, the highs and the lows in real time.
  • The Bean Ninja tech stack, which included a few new tools I’d not heard of!
  • How they nurture continuous learning in the work environment, through a structured Emerging Leaders program, and lunch and learn opportunities.
