Hello, My name is Alex Eagleson, I founded In The Cloud Accountancy Ltd in 2010.
I hadn’t planned on being an accountant, I was backpacking around Australia after finishing University with still no clue what I wanted to do, when funds started to run low, I was lucky enough to get a temp job in an accounts department of the NSW government in Sydney. Within a few weeks I had decided this was the career for me.
I’ve worked in accounts since 1999 and earned my CIMA qualification in 2008 and became a Chartered Management Accountant. I’ve worked in pretty much all sizes of business, from small construction firms to large PLCs and corporates such as M&S and DHL.
There’s something hugely satisfying about helping a business get their affairs in order and start to use their financial resources in a positive way.
I was an early adopter of Xero after seeing the benefits of working from the cloud early on. I’m a certified Xero advisor and experience in Xero Migrations, clean up projects and of course the day to running to ensure clients are getting the best from the system. The cloud means I can spend more time on the activities that add value to the business, rather than just preparing accounts for the tax man.
