Paving the way for a better future for accountants

Australian Accounting Awards 2021 Thought Leader of the Year Rebecca Mihalic has had her fair share of challenges as a female in the profession. But she hasn't let that slow her down and has instead harnessed her experience to shine a spotlight on a range of gender-equality issues to help pave a better way for the next generation. The businessDEPOT director, founding partner of Aptus Accounting & Advisory, and head of accounting at Practice Ignition also shares her passion for raising awareness on mental health issues, and her focus on cash flow protection for accountants and their firms. Rebecca also gives host Jotham Lian some of her predictions for the financial year ahead as Australia continues to battle through COVID-19 lockdowns.
