💡 Why do small businesses avoid tech upgrades? 1️⃣ Complacency: If things are working "well enough," why change? 2️⃣ Time: Researching, setting up, and learning something new feels overwhelming. 3️⃣ Cost: Tech upgrades are perceived as expensive. 4️⃣ Knowledge: Fear of the unknown! Tech can sound complex and intimidating. Here’s the truth: The right tech doesn’t have to be time-consuming, expensive, or confusing. In fact, some tools are affordable (even free!), user-friendly, and designed to solve very specific business challenges. 🎉 At Simplified by V, we specialise in helping Perth-based SMEs take the leap without the headache. Here’s how we do it: ✅ We find the perfect solution for your business. ✅ We don’t work with solution providers to receive commissions—so you can trust that our advice is 100% in your best interests. ✅ We handle the setup so you don’t have to. ✅ We empower you and your team—if you can use your phone, you can use these tools! The best part? Our clients often tell us: "I wish I had done this sooner!" or "I feel like my business is working at a completely different level!" Technology isn’t just for big businesses—it’s your secret weapon to work smarter, not harder.

🌟 Excited to share that I have officially completed my Certified Management Accountant (CMA) course with Singapore Management University! 🎓✨ This milestone is particularly special to me, as I achieved it after returning from maternity leave and transitioning back into work. Balancing motherhood and professional growth has been a rewarding challenge, and I am proud to have invested in my skills during this time. I am grateful for the support from my family, who encouraged me along the way. I’m eager to apply what I’ve learned to drive impactful results in my career. Here’s to new beginnings and continued growth! 💪🚀 #CMA #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerGrowth #WorkLifeBalance #SMU

A week after joining Indian Institute of Management Udaipur with the 24-26 batch, I'm finally sharing the update! I'm thrilled to share that after an incredible 2 years at Stepping Stone, I have embarked on a new chapter by pursuing my MBA at Indian Institute of Management Udaipur. I'm immensely grateful to my colleagues at Stepping Stone for their unwavering support and mentorship throughout my journey there. The experiences we shared, especially in our team meetings, have been invaluable and have shaped my professional growth in profound ways. I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to my amazing support system—my family, friends, and mentors—who have been instrumental in making this transition possible. As I return to student life, I eagerly look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead :)

Happy to share that I have started a new position as Portfolio CFO at Stepping Stone!
