So a wide array of services from Oceania. I came to Australia for my higher studies and ended up going to uni for a film degree. But it goes further back to my dad. He's also a photographer and also works for the state television back in Sri Lanka. So I always grew up around cameras. That's sort of the origin. A big cinema buff. The business is called Film Company.

I realized I needed a new bookkeeper when my past several BASs were late lodgements, super wasn't set up properly. My reconciliations were getting done once every two to three months, so I had no idea of how my business is performing, where it's going. When I first met Andrew we had a, I think, a 90-minute discovery meeting. Andrew asked me a lot of questions about where I want to go, what I want to do, the way I want the things to look. And he listened to me for good 40 minutes and he started giving me some recommendations. I thought that makes sense.

That's a good idea. Andrew sort of also walked me through. These are the potential problems that you're going to face because things are uncapped and untidy. It felt like Andrew was on my side. That's a beautiful thing I've noticed about Digit. If you have a problem that needs solving right now, they will throw bodies at the problem until it's solved. If you're in the market looking for a bookkeeper, I'd recommend Digit because since they've come into my business, they've done some serious wonders. They just get it done on time the right way.
