It’s not all about software. Impressive as it is, we create our software for our clients to use to effectively drive better management and performance. It’s really about people, our prospects and clients, and about the engagement and alignment that business intelligence can bring.
Our professionally qualified people (mainly CAs and CPAs) have long experience in a wide range of businesses, and their unique skills are in ensuring that enabling with technology enabling is more than just that. Our people ensure that the information made available is integrated into day to day workflows, supports ready decision-making and downstream commercial activity. This makes sure that the business outcomes are realised, rather than remaining as bullet points on PowerPoint slides no-one looks back on.
Richard Parsons, BCom CA, joins CALUMO
So it is with pride, in our increased capacity to engage with professional services firms, that we welcome Richard Parsons as General Manager Queensland. A CA himself, Richard has been on both sides of the professional services fence, as an accountant with PriceWaterhouse, as Financial Controller and General Manager of SMEs, and most recently, as a 9 years veteran Change Manager with law firm Mallesons Stephen Jaques. His fluency in practice drivers, enthusiasm for identifying and then releasing untapped business value, and understanding of professional services firm stakeholder dynamics is invaluable.
Take what he said to our developers about CALUMO 11 in his first week:
“I love it - its best of breed, and your development process and validation routines are to die for. But while best-of-breed technology is important, breakthrough business intelligence is about people and processes, not just technology - its the Consultants that elevate people’s thinking to what’s actually attainable, get the process right and the people engaged. I could do it with a slate and chalk - but happily we can do it with your stuff instead.”
If you think you’re up for Richard’s energy, straight-talking and razor sharp focus, give him a call on +61 7 3367 9301.
