“It’s been a privilege working with Matt Hill, CEO of Hypersonix Launch Systems, through their Series A capital raise. As lead adviser at North Ridge Partners, I saw first-hand the qualities that set Matt apart as a leader. Matt combines vision and integrity with sharp commercial acumen. He built trusted relationships with global investors and guided Hypersonix through a highly competitive fundraising environment. His ability to communicate a compelling growth story, backed by technical achievement and commercial momentum, gave investors real confidence in the company’s future. Under Matt’s leadership, Hypersonix has moved from breakthrough R&D into commercial traction, supported by major international contracts and a strong pipeline. He balances ambitious vision with disciplined execution, positioning the company for its next stage of growth. Matt is collaborative, principled, and unwaveringly focused on long-term value creation. I look forward to the next chapter with Hypersonix under his leadership and recommend him without hesitation to any partner, investor, or stakeholder looking to work with one of Australia’s most dynamic scale-up executives.”

I speak on behalf of the IPA to prospective members and program students at the Sydney IPA office. As a passionate member of the IPA, I find this highly rewarding, and an opportunity to share my experiences with the IPA with both members of the profession and those considering entering the profession. Whilst I have not been engaged in speaking in 2014, I do plan on returning to present very soon, and am a strong advocate for our unique and long established professional association.

Whilst I have not been engaged in speaking in 2014, I do plan on returning to present very soon, and am a strong advocate for our unique and long established professional association.
The IPA is without a doubt one of the most unsung achievers within the Australian Professional landscape, and are the third way in terms of Accounting Professionals and in my opinion the most aligned to SME clientele and businesses. -

So when asked, I jumped at the opportunity of being a Board member of the Australian Bodyboarding Association. In this role I have been able to utilise my experience and network, in assisting the ABA team to secure long-term funding arrangements, treasury, sponsorship, and strategy.
Bodyboarding is a sport that to some extent everyone can partake in, but at the elite level, it is akin to gymnastics on the waves, and a truly extreme sport, with a lot of soul, and fantastic community of participants, content, and good will. -

Built the Management Reporting Suite with MYOB interface
Providing support to my Group Financial Controller/CFO, and in a effort to consolidate the results of 8 different regional, and entity P&L's, I assisted in building an Excel/MYOB based suit that was able to automate month end reporting. This was an important initiative and project in that it enabled a SME business using MYOB to report in a manner more accustomed to a large corporate.
