Illumin8's EOFY Highlights

Taking some time to reflect at the end of the FY

Andrew

Founder & Head of Purpose

What a heckin' year it's been! I took some time to reflect at the end of the FY on the last 12 months and boy has it been a big one.

  • Started over 50 new businesses
  • Helped a number of our clients to buy/sell their business
  • Travelled the world sharing Illumin8 love (from Mount Eliza, to Moorabbin, to Noosa to Perth to the UK)
  • Won a bunch of cool awards - Top 50 cloud accountants, top 100 cool companies in Australia, Marketing program of the year
  • Our new bookkeeping businesses served over 50 businesses in the year
  • Worked with our clients to manage over $1m worth of tax savings/deferrals
  • Secured over $10m in COVID funding for our clients
  • Opened our Moorabbin location
  • When covid hit worked around 1.73bazillion hours (a joke...but kinda not)
  • 27 new tattoos were given out at our annual party, 6 of which were for first timers
  • And we will have 3 new team members join us in a weeks time

And we realised even more than ever, that life is better together.
