Heather Smith | Founder
ANISE Consulting
An award winning Chartered Accountant, I'm obsessed with how effective automation and integration can produce timely clean data, to surface information for brave, fast data-informed decision making. With 20 years of running my own business, I've implemented systems, processes, and training for hundreds of businesses, resulting in improved financial management and informed decision-making. Better data, better decisions, better business.
Embracing my education background and solution driven nature, I empower, educate and support the community to positively embrace Accounting Apps through educational content:
Accounting Apps newsletter;
Accounting Apps Podcast;
Accounting Apps Mastermind Community;
YouTube channel and authoring ten books on modern accounting.
I was recognised on USA's Accounting Today's list of 21 influential figures shaping the future of the accounting industry. I'm based in Meanjin (Brisbane) and do my best work with a hot pot of tea and Chester the Border Collie lazing at my feet.
