ADVISORY
LETS CATCH UP
Most of us in small businesses are sole-operators and it can be super beneficial having someone in your corner.
HEY, I'M LAUREN!
Iâm a chartered accountant and registered tax agent on a mission to educate, empower and motivate creative small business owners to be more organised, more informed and more profitable.
Working days in a Big 4 accounting firm, and after hours in my creative pursuits, I watched fellow dancers, comedians, visual artists and designers connecting through their creativity, but being misunderstood by their accountants or confused by financial consultants.
This is when I had my âlight bulb momentâ. I see accounting as the language of money, one I can translate. It was then I realised I had a valuable way to help my fellow creatives and the reason I started The Real Thiel.
Since working with The Real Thiel, Lauren has helped me set the foundations to take my business to the next level. Her passion towards helping others achieve stands out from the second you meet her. Â
