	James Sutherland CA
Position: CEO Company: Cricket Australia "One of my primary reasons for following a career in accounting came from the realisation that if you wanted to make a difference in the place you worked, then you needed to understand the numbers. The training I received as a Chartered Accountant has been beneficial to my career. It is rare for the strategies and approaches we adopt in business not to have a financial implication. Decision-making is fraught with danger without understanding and confidence in the numbers."
	Fiona Belsten CA
Position: Finance Director Company: Sass & Bide "Being a Chartered Accountant gives me the skills to succeed in one of the hottest fashion houses in Australia – from strategic planning, to implementing new accounting software, or negotiating finance for a rapidly growing business. And to think, I was the least likely to become an accountant!"
	Lindsay P Maxsted CA
Position: CEO Company: KPMG "As a Chartered Accountant I have enjoyed a tremendously wide exposure to all types of business both here in Australia and overseas. As a young Chartered Accountant and professional at KPMG, I was introduced very early in my career to the importance of such key attributes as quality, professionalism, integrity, and the delivery of value."
	Tim Pethick
Position: Chief Nudie (CEO) Company: Nudie Foods Australia "Tim believes his accounting background has been critical to the company’s success to date. ‘Its important to understand the numbers in a business and to understand the language of bankers. Accounting is a good foundation for a successful career in business and it’s also a great career option in its own right. My own training as an accountant has been crucial throughout my career."
