Accounting has evolved and seeks to improve and manage all management information for a more assertive decision-making process for the business. It is more than an obligation, it’s a social science.

How Paula is building a better working world

Paula sees a better working world as something that permeates all our actions and decisions, our relationship with customers, our people and the community. Every decision to change is an opportunity for improvement and I help clients to have a different outlook towards accounting and not treat accounting as just a compliance obligation.
