Lauretta Finis is the 2024 International ProAdvisor of the Year. Back in 2021, Lauretta was Insightful Accountant's International Categorical ProAdvisor Award recipient.
As our first actual 'International ProAdvisor of the Year', Lauretta will join what will be a growing list of International ProAdvisor of the Year Award Emeritus with the naming of the 2025 International ProAdvisor of the Year Award recipient.
Lauretta is the owner of Quick Bizness Bookkeeping Solutions & Lauretta Finis Consulting. As one of Australia's first Intuit QuickBooks ProAdvisors her years of experience have ensured that she has not only been a valuable training and educational resource for QuickBooks Australia, but Globally.
Lauretta's practice is located in Donchester (a suburb of Melbourne), Victoria, Australia. She holds ProAdvisor Certifications for both QuickBooks Online and Advanced QuickBooks Online.
Founded in 2004, Lauretta and her firm have dedicated over 20 years to empowering business owners to achieve their goals and thrive in their respective industries. Her journey has allowed her to work with a diverse array of clients, ranging from ballet schools to complex construction firms, and every experience has fueled my passion for helping others succeed.
Recently, Lauretta pivoted to a consulting role where she provides tailored guidance to business owners seeking to gain deeper insights into their finances and operational strategies. Her mission is to offer expert advice and personalized solutions that cater to the unique needs of each business.
Insightful Accountant asked, "how her ProAdvisor Awards have fit into her firm's overall mission?" Lauretta told us:
I pride myself on delivering exceptional service and results for my clients. My commitment has not gone unnoticed, and has been honored in the form of several prestigious awards recognizing client dedication and financial expertise.
Among these awards are the two Insightful Accountant International ProAdvisor Awards. The first, in 2021 as the International ProAdvisor Categorical recipient, and then last year's 2024 International ProAdvisor of the Year award. I feel as though these awards not only my own capabilities, but are reflections upon the service and successes I've had in working with my clients. I'm honored and proud to display these ProAdvisor awards on my firm's website as a form of reassurance to my current and potential clients that they can place their confidence in my role as a trusted advisor to them.
We also asked Lauretta if she had "been able to leverage her ProAdvisor Awards to promote her firm?", she responded:
I've definitely been able to leverage these awards to reinforce the services we offer our clients. They are reflections of both the quality and reliability of the professional advisory services we offer.
New clients have told us that they turned to us, in part, because they noticed the awards on our social media and website platforms. It's clear the awards have assisted in attracting potential new clients who value the expertise the awards imply.
In addition, the awards are often a 'conversation starter' with new clients who mention they were attracted to our firm by the awards and our reputation. I personally feel the awards highlight my dedication to client success as well as my commitment to stay updated and informed on the best practices and tools of our industry.
