With over 30 years of experience, Lance was a Senior Accountant, Associate and Director at four Accountancy firms before commencing practicing on his own in April 2021. The main enjoyment in the position held is being able to assist client’s growth from small beginnings to a business that has a strong future.
I joined ATAINZ in 2008 and have attended all of their annual conferences since then except one. Strategic planning has always been a task that I have enjoyed and with ATAINZ looking to set a new Strategic direction I felt that I was in my element and agreed to stand for the Board. As an Institute I believe ATAINZ has come out of its shell and is now forthright in representing industry issues across a broad spectrum of government and industry players. We are now getting the recognition we need as a representative body to help shape industry and tax for the future. We are now a “voice” for small business.
