The Purpose of Conscious Capitalism Atlanta is to Elevate Humanity Through Business, in Atlanta. Practitioners of Conscious Capitalism believe that business is good because it creates value, it is ethical because it is based on voluntary exchange, it is noble because it can elevate our existence and it is heroic because it lifts people out of poverty and creates prosperity. Free enterprise capitalism is the most powerful system for social cooperation and human progress ever conceived. It is one of the most compelling ideas we humans have ever had. But we can aspire to even more.

Chris Hooper from Accodex joined us for this episode of Life In Accounting, the Where Accountants Go podcast.  In addition to being one of the most entrepreneurial guests we have had in a while, Chris lives in Adelaide, Australia, which makes him our first international guest for the show! Making money vs. keeping money Chris always had an interest in business, and happened on accounting as a career by necessity.  After starting his own business in the fitness industry, he quickly realized that keeping money wasn't as easy as making it, and therefore it would be a good idea to become more educated in that area.  It was at that point that a friend introduced him to accounting. Not your “typical” accountant Chris seems to have always been a “people person”.  From his early self-employment days, to his extra-curricular activities in college, and now to building the Accodex network, it's evident that he enjoys building relationships.  In addition, he definitely enjoys improving on how business is done.  While Chris definitely has the technical abilities that come with a background in accounting, he sees accounting more as the means to the end… an end of creating improvement in business. Just the beginning Something else that was evident in this interview was that even with all the ground that we covered, this is only the beginning.  Chris is 33 years old, and Accodex is only 4 years old.  While they have seen fast success, it's truly only starting to scratch the surface of what is possible.  In Chris' words, “…accountants have the ability to change the world…”, and it's obvious that Chris has that intention for himself and his companies as well.

In this episode Assistant Commissioner Andrew Watson who has overseen the Online services for agents project is joined by Chris Hooper, CEO of Accodex and public beta participant. They discuss the build process, the benefits of the new system and what’s coming next.

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” Chris Hooper In this episode, we talk about . . . Chris wanted to be able to write his own destiny and work as hard as he wanted too How google research led him to embrace the title of an Accounting Futurist And how the freelance accountant in this cloud era is simply a laptop and internet connection, with the ability to work from anywhere on the planet. They can take on as many or as few clients as they want too. They are in control of the scope in services they offer, and also the type of clients they work with. Chris thought process behind choosing Apps, and the war he sees happening in the Reporting App market Accountants need to to be client-facing earlier in their career economic sort of trend called Mimetic Isomorphy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimetic_isomorphism, which refers to the tendency of an organization to imitate another organization's structure because of the belief that the structure of the latter organization is beneficial.

(https://bdacademy.pro/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Chris-Hooper.jpg) Chris Hooper Chris Hooper is an Accounting Futurist and is the Founder and CEO of Accodex, a global cloud accounting network with a mission of democratizing business intelligence. His company has been named the most innovative firm in Australia, beating Big 4 firms to get there. He is a regular commentator in business and accounting media. He is also a prolific speaker in the accounting profession with appearances including TEDx, XeroCon, CountX, QBConnect and Accountex. Chris Hooper’s career started in the fitness industry of all places. It was here he learned the ins and outs of small-business. After struggling to get his head around the idea of bookkeeping, GST and tax, he concluded numbers side of business needed some improvement. His journey is fascinating, and Chris is now one of the world’s most respected experts on the future of and challenges within the accounting industry. Here are some of the highlights and soundbites from the interview with Chris – this guys knows his stuff! How the greatest accountants a very keen sense of intuition when it comes to numbers and financials. Great accounting firms are well positioned, tech-savvy, have a fresh brand, a strong marketing presence and a few more things… Democracy is a fallacy in many in large accounting firms, yet strong leadership and direction from the top is essential. The biggest challenge for large accounting firms is the pace at which they move – it’s very difficult to elicit change in big firms. Big firms that survive and thrive will be able to master the fast moving technological landscape. Technology is driving the the imperative for change, and every change management plan is cultural. Tip to get people acclimatize to big change – make small changes constantly so staff are comfortable with the uncomfortable. Disappointment with audit – there should have been more innovation and time-centric software over recent years. The common denominator in successful firms is brand advocacy – everyone in the firm should be proactive about business development. Changing accountant happens much more readily these days because the switching costs and time delays are much lower. ‘The end is nigh’ mantra has been overplayed in the accounting world. Disruption, yes, but not demise! Accounting firms that do not manage change will struggle with recruiting talent and succession. Top 100 accounting firms should ask themselves: ‘what are we doing to entice the young employees to stay here?’  Hiring good people is always a battle. You hire for attitude, you train for skills. The importance of training cannot be underplayed – it’s one of the main things millennial accountants are looking or in their career. Accounting firms that have adopted cloud and are 100 per cent paperless have a huge advantage in the marketplace. Best advice to further your accounting career – get a mentor as soon as possible. and much much more… Chris Hooper is in the business of predicting the future of the accounting profession, and it’s his mission in life to change the accounting game forever. Some of the ways he is working toward his mission are: • Leading by example with my company Accodex, a support platform for freelance accountants. • Creating the next generation of leaders at Future Accountants Network, an online academy teaching soft skills and technical skills. • Teaching and mentoring accounting and business students that are going to change the world. • Writing and speaking about accounting industry trends.   To contact Chris: 0870717232 (Australia)  Liked your Top 100 Club Podcast Interview with Rob Brown" target="_blank">email him directly>> http://linkedin.com/in/christopherhooper (http://linkedin.com/in/christopherhooper) Twitter:   ChrisHooper87

In this episode of An Environment for Change I speak with Chris Hooper about the Castlemaine Repair Cafe.  She has been running a monthly Repair Cafe in Castlemaine for over a year and they have saved over 600kg of waste from being thrown out; objects, clothing and mechanical items that can now live to see another day.  I speak to Chris about how it all started, how it works and where it is going. I also spoke to some of her repair volunteers, who talk about what it is like to be a repairer, why they do it and some of the things they have been asked to repair.  

In this episode, you meet Chris Hooper. Early in his life, Chris began to see accounting as the language of business and despite having had success as an accountant, he realized that his business could not scale beyond him. The company he is building is called Accodex. Accodex is disrupting what some describe as the most boring profession in the world, Accounting. He is building a company to avoid what he calls the Accounting Apocalypse.Chris noticed that just as the innovation of the double entry accounting had revolutionized Accounting, there were new trends that were also about to disrupt the field of accounting. His company Accodex, his striving to be a platform to support the future accounting. Although it is often described as Uber for accounting, the analogy does not fit well. If Uber gave you the same driver each time, and spent time ensuring that you trusted the driver, then that would be Accodex.The company Chris is building is based on the insights he gained while studying the history of Accounting during his MBA. He noticed four trends that were changing the future of Accounting:Changing labour force dynamics and expectationsTechnological changeGlobalizationsChanging expectations of owners and entrepreneursDriven by the entrepreneurial bug, he set himself on a journey to build a company that met his needs as an accountant. He built a company to satisfy his own needs.One of my favourite insights from Chris was his use of the analogy of sailing a ship. You can build a ship but if the winds are not blowing, or the weather is not right, it is hard to get the ship moving. What I love about this analogy is that it acknowledges the uncertainty involved in building a business. It acknowledges that we all have limited control as we try to build the future.Chris is ambitious and wants to build a company that last well beyond his lifetime. Very few companies make it past forty years. What I admire about him, is that once he noticed that there was incongruence between what he was doing and what he wanted to be doing, he took the time to fundamentally shift his course. This is a common theme among people I interview on Disruptive Conversations.Being an entrepreneur is hard work, and Chris suggests that entrepreneurs need to believe that the fight is worth fighting for. They need to be so committed to it that they're almost willing to die for it. If you believe that fight is worth fighting for, then fight relentlessly. Chris believes in hard work. His favourite quote is, “the elevator to success is out of order, but the stairs are always available”.To learn more about what Chris means by the accounting Apocalypse you can check out his video here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO2Iy0yvdEYLearn more about Accodex here:https://www.accodex.com/

Chris Hooper's story is a real love affair with business. Recognising accounting as "the language of business", he started his own firm six years ago. Then two years ago, Accodex was born, which is now an international company with multiple locations in four different countries. Headquartered in Adelaide, it's a real SA success story. Describing himself as an entrepreneur first, and an accountant second. Chris is a regular go-to for advice on start-up business - in fact I first met him in 2015 as he mentored participants, including myself, in the MEGA entrepreneur program.  In today's episode of the Be The Drop podcast, Chris talks about the emotional roller-coaster of running a business, the value of doing any business rather than waiting for a "big idea" and reveals his top tips for using social media for B2B...

Accodex chief executive Chris Hooper speaks to Accountants Daily’s editor Katarina Taurian about how he plans to break the mould and transition his start-up into a multi-million dollar network. Chris also talks through life behind the scenes, including how he manages his personal schedule, his family life, and his energy as he pours everything into fuelling his brain child. http://www.accountantsdaily.com.au

Chris Hooper, an accounting “Futurist” and CEO of Accodex Partners joins the Marketing Crunch Podcast to share his marketing story and how he uses data and hard numbers to make informed decisions when it comes to marketing the firm.   We all know how important data is to our business, but just how important is… The post 6. Why this accounting firm uses data and technology to achieve fast growth appeared first on Marketing Crunch Podcast.

Chris Hooper took the roundabout way into accounting -- from wrestling promoter at the age of 13 to power lifting competitor to entrepreneur. He'd always been good at making money, but never good at keeping it, so he figured he needed to study up on accounting. And the rest is history. While he isn't competing anymore, he still lifts regularly, sometimes even with clients. In this episode, we talk about how Chris works hard to make Accodex a refuge for really good accountants who also have passions outside the office. While this might be frowned upon at larger firms, he embraces and encourages it. He stays in constant contact with all the staff but also schedules quarterly meetings with every individual. His goal is to have short-term productivity but long-term engagement from his team, so he works hard to align their personal goals with those of the firm. The question that he asks everyone is, "What's your dream job and what can we do for you to help you get there?"

In this episode I interview Chris Hooper from Accodex and we discuss self awareness and how this can help when things rapidly change in your business.
