Reply with a quick introduction so we can get to know you better! 
Hi I am Alastair, I run a sole practitioner bookkeeping practice in Margaret River, Western Australia.
I love creating order from chaos for my clients, devising systems to automate their business processes. Karbon has been vital in helping me organise and streamline my own business processes.
Outside of bookkeeping I am a cricket tragic - any format and any level. I find it difficult to drive past a suburban cricket match without stopping to watch for a while. I am still playing at the age of 56, and I am President of my local club.
Hello everybody!
I’m Curtis and a partner at True North Accounting LLP. We are based out of the Calgary/Okotoks area in Alberta Canada. We just recently opened our second office location and are excited to continue to grow.
We provide accounting and tax services to service-based small business corporations.
I’m excited to see how Karbon can grow and evolve. It has already been a tremendous tool for our firm and I don’t even think we are using 100% of what it has to offer.
Outside of the office, and being from Canada, I’m obviously a psychotic hockey fan and rec league hockey player.
Hi everyone! Glad to join the Karbon Community and share in the knowledge.

Fun Fact About Myself: I’ve been to San Diego Comic Con every year since 2009, up until the pandemic hit this year. Sigh.

Hi to all my fellow Karbonites!
My name is Heather Darnell and I run Ask the BOSS in London and we have used Karbon since January 2016. We are a 15 person firm specialising in tech startups and owner managed businesses.
My favourite bit of my job is training - not just training our staff, but also training our clients to understand and fall in love with their financial management reports so they can get real value out of them.
Hobbies are snowboarding in the Italian Alps (COVID permitting of course) and learning to play piano (I started to learn 2 years ago at age 47)
Surprising fact: I used to promote and produce raves in Montreal, Canada while at university there in the early 1990s and did not see daylight hours for a year or two.

Hello everybody!
I am Peter. I am a Partner with Pathway in Kitchener, Ontario Canada. I do Bookkeeping, Accounting and Payroll for a number of clients. We specialize with small businesses
I love solving problems for my clients to help them run a more profitable and streamlined business.
I am a bass player and avid gamer, both table-top and video games.
Fun fact...I am a former Microsoft MVP and was a frequent speaker on a wide variety of technology topics but was considered an expert on the mechanisms of that irritating little dialog box that would always ask you “Are you sure you want to do that?”
Welcome to the Karbon community,
Hi all, I’m Jeremy Wells, EA, owner of JWellsCFO, a tax and accounting firm specializing in helping real estate agents, brokers, and investors. Realtors are tough nuts to crack: they’re all about sales and making money, but they run whenever you mention taxes! I love trying to find new ways to communicate the importance of what we do for them while letting them stay focused on what they do best.
I’m finishing my final quarter in UNC’s MAC program and planning to take the CPA exam next year. My wife and I have a 3yo daughter. Between work, school, and family, I don’t have much in the way of hobbies, but I do keep up with European football, rooting for Chelsea FC.
I came into accounting non-traditionally. I majored in Political Science, earned my Ph.D. at LSU, and researched and taught about international politics at Texas State University. TSU reimbursed faculty and staff for tuition, so I registered for a few accounting courses (I almost minored in business in undergrad). In the spring of 2018, I realized I was spending more time discussing taxes and business with my students than the subjects I was supposed to be teaching, so quit academia that summer. My family moved to St. Augustine, FL, to be closer to my in-laws, and I’ve been building my firm here ever since.
Your Name: Joe Carufe
What you do: I am the Managing Director or Systemsix.com. My main roles are leading the team with strategy, efficiency and talent integration. We have 20 team members across the US and serve clients across the globe.
Favorite aspect of your job: I get to work with the best team of bookkeepers and accountants across every time zone.
Favorite hobby to do outside of work: Hiking, Biking, Running, Fly-Fishing. Anything outside.
Fun fact about yourself: I also enjoy running. I ran a 16:57 3 mile in highschool and I’ve been trying to get back to that pace ever since. With the pandemic, I’ve been running a lot more. So far I’ve been able to run 3 miles in 20:55.

We run the show for the month of December and can have upwards of 100 cars a night. Always fun seeing kids dancing around the front yard.
Fun fact about yourself : I spent my childhood swimming

Hello! Nice to meet you all here!
Happy New Year everyone! My name is Christina Carlos and I’m one of the owners of CLC Bookkeeping Solutions here on beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada. We are a virtual Cloud based bookkeeping and tax preparation firm that also helps business owners reach their long term goals. Favourite aspect of the job? I love working with nice people who want their businesses to improve! It’s a perk of the job to help people succeed :) Favourite hobby: being outside, anything outside! Boating, walking, hiking, you name it. Fun fact: I was a huge athlete in my prime years but now my goals are more focused on my family :)
Good morning good morning!
I’m Sarah Gordon and an Accounting Manager at a Seattle, WA firm called Jenderuss Forensic Accounting LLC. This means I get to learn new software to aid our clients in integrating their processes with their financial data, guide a staff of three in monthly accounting tasks, and perform project management for the accounting department. One of my favorite aspects of the job is getting folks to laugh while ensuring we hit out deadlines. I have the opportunity to help folks improve their skills, continually learn, and assist entrepreneurs in focusing on their passions through financial clarity.
Outside of work, I’m often found wrangling either myself or the kiddos out of a mud puddle. Between my love for gardening and floral design and the “construction sites” the munchkins create with their trucks...there’s a lot of soil to contend with. There’s no bad weather, just poor choices in clothing layers.

Hello everyone! I’m Peter Grillet.
I’ve just joined Karbon. I’ll be focused on Customer Success here in London.
My a career has typically involved a mixture of Operations & Marketing in startups over the last 15 years. I am known for being passionate about learning and automation. I really enjoy looking for complex problems and putting in scalable solutions.
I rolled out Karbon while contracting with a firm of 50+ people and was blown away by what it could do. So, really excited about being able to help others achieve what we did.
Outside of work I’d normally spend most of my free time with friends and cousins exploring new places to eat and drink but, while on Lockdown I’ve been building things out of Lego…
Fun fact wise - between 2015-2017 I had a 1 hour work week which I achieved by building a portfolio of websites selling ebooks by leveraging automation on Instagram.
