He is an Amazon No1 Best Selling Author, inspiring speaker and a disruptive thinker within the Accountancy profession.

During the last few years Shane’s focus has been in training and coaching accountants as well as strategically developing AVN as a business which delivers training, expert practice growth advice, practice systems and resources.

Officially the world’s most highly rated advisor to accountants, Steve is a Chartered Accountant, best-selling author, dynamic speaker, and proud founder of AVN.

His 2016 book, “The world’s most inspiring accountants”, has been described as a “masterpiece”, “ground-breaking” and “desperately needed”.

I help business owners focus on the truth of their business, where it is and how best to move it forward. I put business owners in control, by helping them clarify what they want, examine the numbers, systemise their businesses and drive them towards the success they desire.

This can be summed up as clarity for business owners to inspire decisive action.

I’m a Chartered Certified Accountant – and I offer so much more than that, too. My skills sets, enthusiasm and drive provide clients with an approach that goes above and beyond what they might expect from their accountant.

Gloria started Murray Associates in 1998 to help small and micro business owners understand their finances and grow their business. As she had worked in a variety of business fields before she became an accountant she realised there was a gap in the market for accountants with real life business knowledge and that many business owners wanted more from their accountant than just a set of accounts and a tax return.

She runs mentoring programmes helping business owners become entrepreneurs.

The practice has won several awards including in 2017 AVN’s Changing Lives and the 2020 Group’s Most Innovative Business Adviser.
