Sophie Andrews is an award winning entrepreneur, with over 25 years’ experience in small business and working with creative designers, and is a Director of the Australian Bookkeepers Association. Sophie is also the author of the recently released The Creative Collection, which is a business bible for creative business owners.

After spending 15 years working in finance in the fashion and gemstone industry for Companies such as Max Mara and the British Jewellery & Giftware Federation, Sophie established successful bookkeeping agency The Accounts Studio. Now in it’s ninth year, the Studio has over 120 clients and specialises in working with creatives including interior designers, graphic designers, fashion designers, photographers and stylists. The Company is an early adopter of the revolutionary cloud accounting software Xero and merges traditional bookkeeping with fun analysis tools to show clients how to maximise profit.

A regular media commentator, Sophie has an unshakeable passion and focus around educating small business owners in the importance of having a solid financial base to their business, and how to avoid the number one killer of small business – cash flow. Not only does she have an amazing ability to break down the mundane and complicated into easily digestible language, but she is also a very talented strategist.

A mother of one, Sophie speaks 4 languages and spends any spare time travelling, writing or reattempting the art of successful mediation.
