Accountant · Founder · Perth, WA

I make financial
data trustworthy.

Twenty-five years across accounting, investigations and software, all circling the same instinct: does this data hold up? Today I'm building Acuvant, where the discipline of reconciliation becomes software that catches what people miss.

01 / What I'm building
● in active development

Acuvant

An accounting data integrity platform for Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks users. Acuvant validates financial data, runs reconciliation logic, and flags the inconsistencies that slip past manual review, turning real-world accounting requirements into system-level rules.

Validate
Structured checks
Rules that test whether the numbers behave the way the books say they should.
Reconcile
Automated logic
Reconciliation frameworks that run continuously, not once a month.
Detect
Inconsistencies
Surfacing the discrepancies and anomalies that quietly distort a ledger.

03 / Background

The thread

Every role I've held has been a different way of asking the same question: can this data be trusted?

I'm a degree-qualified accountant, with a Bachelor of Commerce from Curtin University, who started in construction and retail finance, building automated payroll and surviving the MYOB and GST transitions firsthand.

For over a decade I ran a private investigations practice, where the entire job was verification: gathering information, checking whether it held up, and reporting it cleanly. Later I built and ran an AUSTRAC-registered digital currency exchange, with the compliance, KYC and monitoring that demands. Different industries, same instinct: find what doesn't reconcile.
