Because it’s about more than just the numbers. In fact, it’s all about you.
The year was 2012, and I was younger and thinner. Full of youth, hopes, dreams and potential yet to be fully realised.
Obsessed with the potential of the accounting industry, I started Illumin8 with a vision to provide accounting and bookkeeping services that went beyond compliance.
After all, keeping our clients out of jail is the bare minimum. The real magic happens in business problem solving, leveraging technology to streamline operations, and connecting on a human level to help our clients kick goals with both feet.
So just like that, a plucky former corporate dweller with a whole lot of entrepreneurial spirit registered Illumin8 to operate in Australia.
These days, the team numbers more than twenty absolute legends. Of course, everyone is a superstar when it comes to numbers, tax, finance and all aspects of small business management. But that’s not all Illumin8 is about. We’re all a little bit different, slightly quirky, and bring a whole lot of personality to the office.
You love what you do, and we do too. Our aim is to make your life easier, and if we can have some fun along the way then we’ve more than done our job.
Ready to see how we can help you with your business? We’d love to talk.
