  Your host for the evening: Leo Di Pinto

  I’m excited to be forging a career in the Real Estate industry. I grew up in Italy and am relatively new to Australia however it didn’t take me long to recognise that real estate is an integral part of every Australian’s life. It’s a topic that everyone discusses whether it’s talking about their first home, their first investment or commercial opportunities. The fact that I’m in real estate is a real conversation starter and I seize every opportunity to discuss the topic I’m so enthusiastic about.
  
  Working in the industry allows me to play to my strengths. I’m a people person and every moment of my day is spent talking, listening and meeting people. I’m excellent at solving problems and I’m continually finding solutions for clients. This is particularly the case in the commercial property area where it’s essential to understand what’s required at every stage of a project from approval right through to development. I’m also an expert in zoning laws, project management and identifying and utilising sources needed to navigate the complex process.

  I have a head for business and excellent organisational skills, both beneficial in my role. I’ve studied economics and business and am committed to maintaining a hands-on interest in these disciplines. My organisational skills come from a background in organising sporting and cultural events.

  There’s an advantage in being relatively new to Brisbane. I have a thirst for getting to know my adopted city and its people. I see opportunities everywhere, from New Farm to Moorooka and Robina to Wynnum. I’m proactive about meeting new people and building networks. I also enjoy staying connected to my Italian heritage and am an active member of Brisbane’s Italian community.

  The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents a fundamental change in the way we live, work and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development, enabled by extraordinary technology advances commensurate with those of the first, second and third industrial revolutions. These advances are merging the physical, digital and biological worlds in ways that create both huge promise and potential peril. The speed, breadth and depth of this revolution is forcing us to rethink how countries develop, how organisations create value and even what it means to be human. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is about more than just technology-driven change; it is an opportunity to help everyone, including leaders, policy-makers and people from all income groups and nations, to harness converging technologies in order to create an inclusive, human-centred future. The real opportunity is to look beyond technology, and find ways to give the greatest number of people the ability to positively impact their families, organisations and communities.

  
  

  We are pleased to welcome Dr Scott Bolland to help us be part of this revolution.

• Rob Nixon

  • When
    7 Apr 2020

    8:30 AM - 9:30 AM
  • Location

  BWCC and AICC (Australia Israel Chamber of Commerce are pleased to invite you to meet Rob Nixon, driving change for Accountants.

  
  

  Helping Accountants all over the world do 3 things:

  1. Make over $1M profit per partner whilst working less than 500 client hours
  2. Build amazing Accounting businesses
  3. Change the lives of themselves and their clients

  The accounting profession has never been under more pressure to change. In an environment where the accountant’s traditional heartland of compliance work is being disrupted by technology, accountants need to develop skills to become better business advisors.
  

  
  

  Rob has been at the forefront of thought leadership for the Accounting profession since 1994. He helps Accountants with workflow, revenue, profit and cash-flow improvement. He is the author of 2 books, Accounting Practices Don’t Add Up and Remaining Relevant – the future of the Accounting profession. He is the founder and CEO of PANALITIX – business advisory software for Accounting firms. He has spoken to in excess of 150,000 Accountants in 8 countries and his business improvement products have been used in over 15,000 Accounting firms.

  (From Rob's Linkedin profile)

  Since May 1994 I have been working with Accountants all over the world, teaching them how to dramatically boost their profits while working less hours. I have personally coached accountants at over 500 firms, helping them realize close to $1 billion dollars in additional profits.
  
  I do this through a revolutionary coaching model I designed, called the “Profit Time Program”. In it, my clients learn how to:
  
  Structure their firms properly, to speed up workflow and reduce time spent on every project
  Offer more services to their clients
  Attract new business through creative marketing strategies
  Set their companies up for continued growth without them
  Improve their quality of life
  Charge what their worth
  Earn >$1M per year, per partner while working less than 500 client hours
  
  Look closely at that last one. What sets my business apart is the fact that I work on both expanding a client’s business while reducing client hours. I have yet to see another coach or consultant offer both to the degree of expertise I offer in my program.
  
  I work with small to medium (typically $1M - $10M revenue) size accounting firms that are already established, and I guarantee the results. If my clients implement my approach and don’t get 5x return in what they pay me, then they don’t pay. It’s that simple.
  
  Over the past few years I have authored 3 books “Accounting Practices Don’t Add Up – why they don’t and what to do about it” AND “Remaining Relevant – the future of the Accounting profession” AND “The Perfect Firm”. All have been best sellers.
  
  On a personal note. I am a keen golfer and adventurer (I am ticket holder 293 on Virgin Galactic to go into space). I live in sunny Brisbane, Australia.
