Accountants Big Day Out!

Look at us, diligently working hard at the CCH Business Fitness NZ, Accountants Big Day Out last week.

We were lucky enough to see presentations by technology companies BankLink, MYOB, Xero and CCH Collaborative Solutions, and service providers Triplejump, Smart Payroll, Get Smart Financial Solutions, Rodgers Reidy, Accountancy Insurance and nsaTax.

We heard from CEO Russell Evans and BankLink's Richard Reese. The first session was Viv Brownrigg talking of Momentum, followed by Nat with a preview of the latest GBU results.

Simon Mundell spoke us about how technology is shaping NZ businesses, then our Product Manager Sara Hansen revealed what's on the schedule for Business Fitness in 2013.

Human Rhythms got everyone drumming after lunch, and then Robyn Pearce gave a few time management tips before Viv Brownrigg invited a panel of guests to talk about growth and service plans.

Last of all came business impresario Bruce Cotterill on profit performance, and MC Dave Steele wrapped up with an unexpected visit from comedian Dave Fane.

A really fun day where we learnt a lot and enjoyed meeting and chatting with all the other accountants. Roll on BDO 2013!
