BOAA is Teaming up with CPA Australia SME Committee to assist Business Owners to Strategically grow in these difficult times.   

This is a paid event but the value will be huge.

Headlined by Warren Hogan -Chief Economic Advisor, Judo Bank

In today’s fast-moving business environment, the role of a CPA extends far beyond compliance and statutory reporting. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), CPAs are uniquely positioned to drive strategic decision-making, unlock growth opportunities, and build financial resilience.

Join the SME Committee for an insightful half day forum to explore how CPAs can add real value to SMEs - not just as advisors, but as trusted strategic partners.

You'll hear from industry leaders, participate in interactive breakout sessions, including Victorian Chamber Commerce Industry, EOS (enterprise operating systems) and a session on AI in Private Businesses, followed by an engaging panel discussion to close off the forum.

Learning outcomes:

• Describe the key ways CPAs can add strategic value to SMEs
• Explain insights from industry leaders on effective SME partnership
• Discuss practical approaches for CPAs to support SME growth through collaboration
