It’s been a busy few weeks in the Azure Group offices.  Unusual for most accountants, but for us, it’s a time when our tax team and accounts teams combine to work on reconciling our client’s accounts, record year-end tax journals as well as collecting and collating compliance files for our clients.

Typically, many people stereotype accountants as boring who don’t like their job. However here at Azure Group, I can confidently say that this is not the case.

Now you might say that being an accountant is boring, well I would argue otherwise. As an accountant I get to work with some of the brightest and innovative entrepreneurs and trust me, it is very inspiring and exciting.

The other day I was asked why some small businesses fail and others succeed and it got me thinking about the defining characteristics of Australian small businesses.

In my role as accountant, CFO and business advisor, I come across many small businesses and I’m continually inspired. Overall, small businesses are innovative, creative and dynamic and they are a major driving force behind our economy (representing a quarter of our GDP).
