- About Me or My Organisation
- I am a CA(SA) who combines the high energy and flair of an entrepreneur with the discipline and rigour of a grounding in accounting.
I express these skills through my advisory business, Future by Design Innovation, where I advise companies who are struggling with issues of growth and innovation, to create new products, new business models or wh*** business units.
For some clients I act as a consulting Financial Director, where they need to get control over the financial core of their businesses.
Unique Value Add:
I have worked with many forms of small and medium businesses, and have developed the ability to get to know a business or issue in a matter of hours, thereby being able to offer business owners and directors an objective view and advice in a very short space of time.

Erik Thiart replied to Iain Bryant's discussion 'What is the issue that you, as a small business, face most?'"Popularity, think one of the biggest issues here is getting noticed and getting online credits and earning people's trust especially the older generation. I'm speaking now for small online orientated businesses only."

Post by Iain BryantPeter Caruthers - Gratis Marketing Seminar Online Jan 17th 2012 19H40 to 21H00
In 1992, just 20 years ago, I had to close my firm. As you might already know, I lost everything, as well as a lot of money I hadn’t yet earned. After a few months of trying to find another job I realised that there were none left. (This was during that uncertain period as SA made the transition from apartheid regime to rainbow nation.) I was faced with starting up again. I won’t bore you with the details. But, marketing back then was a mere shadow of what it is now, and much, much slower.…See More
