Andrew Bursill
DIRECTOR, ARETEX
As a chartered accountant, Andrew’s track record of success and financial leadership is a result of over 20 years of providing outsourced CFO services, principally with ASX-listed businesses. During this time, Andrew worked across many different industry sectors, including fintech, SaaS, mineral exploration, financial services, biotechnology, retail and FMCG.
Andrew is a co-founder and Director of Aretex. His experience and strategic insight have helped Aretex become one of the leading outsourced operational accounting and data management service providers in Australia.
What's Driving His Passion?
Andrew has a love of all things fast and is a true believer in making the high-speed journey count as much as the destination. As a result, he has a deep understanding of the business environment and how it is constantly evolving. He’s witnessed companies fail to adapt to new conditions and lose out to the competitors who learned to move with the punches.
Andrew shared Chris’ desire to find a new approach to accounting that goes beyond traditional bookkeeping services and solving the problems of inconsistent bookkeeping and the fundamental failure to understand the context of information that small business needs to be successful. He lived these problems as an outsourced CFO, spending too much time correcting the poor quality work before he could deliver the high-level advice his clients expected. With a shared-service BPO solution, Andrew knew that solving these basic challenges would help his clients succeed.
How Does He Overcome Challenges?
In a professional services business, successful clients make a successful practice. He believes the two are inextricably linked and understands that his role and the role of the A-Team is to guide their clients on the road to success. He focuses on evolution and thinking ahead instead of spending his time redoing work and fixing errors. By improving the delivery methodology, he has the confidence that the details are done right and he can focus on the big picture and provide proactive advice.
