Chris Hooper the CEO of Accodex
“I honestly believe that accountants have the ability to change
the world, they just don't realise it yet.
I am in the business of predicting the future of the accounting
profession, and it's my mission in life to change the accounting
game forever.
Some of the ways I am working toward my mission are:
• Leading by example with my company Accodex, a support platform
for freelance accountants.
• Teaching and mentoring accounting and business students that are
going to change the world.
• Writing and speaking about accounting industry trends”
