ACCRU RAWSONS

In February we welcomed a new Manager, Cheryl Grace to our team. Cheryl joins us after taking a break from work to start her family. Fun fact about Cheryl is she is an avid adventurer and has travelled across most of Australia.

To celebrate International Women’s Day 2024, our Partners gifted delicious Dello Mano brownies. This year’s theme was “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.”. The theme calls for action to unlock equal rights, power, and opportunities for all, aiming for a feminist future where no one is left behind.

We’re excited to announce that our office has transitioned to a cloud-based environment with the transition to Xero and FYI Docs! As part of this change, all staff members now have new laptops to support our cloud software stack. We have already seen the benefits of this move when all staff had to work from home due to Cyclone Alfred. 

Whilst it’s been a new learning experience for everyone, we’re excited with the change and looking forward to implementing automations and artificial intelligence to our processes.

For our staff activity, we converted an old desk into a ping pong table and had a fierce competition. It was a hit, with Cheryl emerging as the ultimate winner. After the competition was done and dusted, information came to light that she previously owned a ping pong table… so she was already a pro against us amateurs! Everyone had such a great time that the partners decided to make this a more permanent activity and bought a proper ping pong table! So, staff have between now and Brisbane 2032 to get up to Olympic standards.

Every month, a lucky staff member picks our team lunch. Recently, we’ve enjoyed meals from Happy Boy (Chinese), Mrs Luu’s (Vietnamese), and Ahmet’s (Turkish).

This quarter we load up on birthday cake with 45% of our office celebrating their birthday in the first quarter. Happy birthday to Melissa, Brendan, Morgan, and Kate.
