Meet Ben
In 2013, all I had was a dream. Having worked for one of the ‘Big 4’ accounting firms as well as a small firm for several years, I just knew there was a better way to help small business owners with their tax. Something didn’t sit right so I decided to start Inspire against the traditional way of accounting.
After being a major part of our clients’ journeys through business success and life, I was hooked. I was captivated having witnessed their abundant success as a byproduct of our services. I’ve also had the privilege of seeing our team members grow in their own respective journeys through life and the experience has been nothing short of extraordinary.

I am a proud father of 2 beautiful children, Rose and Ezra, and husband to my gorgeous partner, Stevie. Something as simple as watching a good movie with my littles ones is everything to me.
On the occasion that I get a retreat from work, I cherish time with my family and friends. I enjoy going out west to hunt and the spontaneous fishing trip
What is your favourite thing about working at Inspire?
Knowing that we have a direct, positive impact on our clients and team’s life is the most fulfilling aspect of work; seeing the tangible ‘fruits of labour’, our clients’ growth, our expanding team is so rewarding. At Inspire, we put our heart and soul into our work and the results don’t lie.
How did you get interested in accounting and business?
In school, accounting came quite easily. Good grades came quite naturally as I had an aptitude for numbers. My Granddad and dad ran small businesses and I got to see both the reward and sacrifice of running a business, so I was perpetually intrigued, yet eager. A decade later and it remains the best decision of my life.
What is the biggest impact of your business?
We’ve come to the realisation that accountants don’t just do tax. Working with a client for a number of years, you can really see that what we do is life changing. Even the non-financial impact of taking away stress or depression is huge beyond measure. Having an instrumental role in helping our clients make more money than they can dream of, tripling their wealth… It’s breathtaking.
What are some shows or books you’d recommend?
I recommend the show ‘Black List’ apart from the final episode… As for books, I hold in high esteem ‘Good to Great’ by Jim Collins
Which Sustainable Development Goal(s) do you choose and why?
Zero Hunger. Having traveled to Kenya on a relief tour, witnessing widespread hunger and to just comprehend what people do for a meal, completely changed my perspective.
Meet Roze
I joined Inspire in 2019 and can confidently say that the past 6 years have been the most significant growth in my career and personal development.
I am fortunate to have been given a platform to make a sizeable difference in others lives and their businesses, and for that I am so thankful. I find it incredibly fulfilling at the end of our workshops when business owners share that they are blown away by the value and abundant actionable advice.
My primary focus is not just the figures of a business, it’s legacy, it’s creating generational wealth and always prioritising family which for people that know me is my utmost highest value in life.
Outside of Inspire
I’m an energetic person that loves going on hikes and being in nature with my loved ones. My partner Ronnie and I have raised a gorgeous Pomeranian, Evee, who’s 13 years old but still a baby at heart. Our little ‘floof’ loves to join us on our spontaneous adventures.
What is your favourite thing about working at Inspire?
Undoubtedly, it is the culture. We have such a closely woven team that see each other more than work colleagues, we’re a family.
There’s just so much trust and integrity here that allows the company to thrive and facilitate exponential growth. You get to be you, you get to have creative control and aren’t micromanaged here, it’s so blissful.
How did you get interested in marketing?
Marketing kind of spontaneously fell on me. At Inspire, I’ve discovered my creativity and my ability to connect with people through copy, content and workshops.
I’ve been blessed with world-class mentors within the business to train me and it’s been such a joy and privilege to learn from experts I respect so highly, which is perhaps why I’ve come to love marketing.
What is one of the biggest impacts you’ve made?
Amidst the start of Covid, there was a lot of uncertainty for all business owners. As we entered lockdown in 2020, Ben and I were compelled to construct a free webinar for ‘Business Continuity’, a covid plan. We received an astronomical 568 registrations which was unprecedented. We felt a responsibility to help – now ‘value webinars’ have become an integral part of our brand, our culture of giving.
What is an audiobook you’d recommend?
The 5 second rule by Mel Robbins taught me the quintessential benefits of waking up early
Which Sustainable Development Goal(s) do you choose and why?
For me, Quality education. On a systemic level, a community or a nation cannot change their ways without being educated.
Meet JB
I joined Inspire in July 2025 as a Marketing Assistant, and I’ve been having a great time ever since. When I first applied, I didn’t expect an accounting firm to have a full marketing team – but once I learned how creative and forward-thinking Inspire is, I knew it was the right fit.
In my role, I handle most of the content creation across Inspire and HBA. That includes blogs, newsletters, email campaigns, and other marketing materials that help tell our story and connect with clients. It keeps me busy – and I love it.
Before Inspire, I mainly worked in product marketing, so shifting to promoting professional services has been a refreshing challenge. It’s pushed me to grow creatively and strategically, and I’ve learned a lot from Roze, Kash, and Ben along the way.
What do you find most fulfilling about your job?
For me, it’s those moments when Rose approves and appreciates my work. Since most of my projects happen behind the scenes and I don’t usually interact with clients, that acknowledgment feels extra rewarding. Knowing that something I’ve created meets the team’s standards – or even exceeds expectations, and it always makes my day.
How did you get into marketing?
Funny story – I actually started out as a customer service representative. One day, while working in chat support for a retail company, I managed to convert a client into a bulk buyer, selling a huge order of our bags and sheets.
My manager took notice and asked if I wanted to move into sales. I politely said no (quotas aren’t my thing!), but I did mention that I was interested in marketing. From there, I got transferred to the digital marketing team, where I worked on copywriting, creatives, and ads. That’s how I found my passion for marketing – using creativity and communication instead of sales pressure.
What is your favourite thing about working at Inspire?
Definitely the people. In my past roles things were strictly professional. We didn’t talk much, and I barely knew anything personal about my colleagues, even after a year.
Here at Inspire, it’s completely different. The culture is warm, collaborative, and genuine. You can talk openly with your leaders, share a laugh, or ask questions without hesitation. It’s such a refreshing change, and I’ve come to really appreciate the Aussie work culture. Everyone is approachable, and teamwork comes naturally.
Outside of Inspire
Outside of work, I ride my motorcycle – it helps me feel free whenever I feel like I have to escape. I also love playing video games with friends, we usually play FPS games and whatever is trending
Fun Fact
It’s not so much a fun fact as it is a scary one – I’m actually a sleepwalker! When I’m stressed or have too much on my mind, I tend to get up and move around in my sleep. Once, I even woke up outside the house, near the street! Most of the time I just find myself sitting in the bathroom or in front of a mirror – so maybe my subconscious is just telling me to freshen up.
Books, Movies, or Shows I Recommend
I recently started watching Dexter, and I’m hooked. It’s such an interesting show because it tells the story from the perspective of a serial killer – and somehow, it still makes you root for him (a little too much sometimes!).
Before that, one of my all-time favourites was Click, which always reminds me how precious time is and how easy it is to miss the moments that really matter.
Which Sustainable Development Goal(s) do you choose and why?
Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
I believe that if we can create truly sustainable cities, we’ll naturally address many of the other global goals. A city that can provide food, jobs, and resources within its own community will also help reduce poverty and hunger.
When people have access to what they need close to home, it creates stability, opportunity, and long-term growth – all the essentials for a thriving, sustainable future.
