Hi I’m Stuart, CEO & Co-Founder of Karbon. Thought I’d kick things off! What do I do? My primary job as CEO is to ensure that the company is sufficiently capitalized and therefore hire great people to build wonderful software for our customers so that our mission and purpose are realized to the greatest extent possible.
My favourite aspect of the job is seeing the delight and joy our users receive from the utilizing our platform. The way that it makes their job easier. The time that it gives back to their families and the efficiency and productivity and profitability that it provides the firms that they founded or work in.
Our family live in Incline Village, NV, USA and and this was a deliberate choice to enjoy our favourite activities such as boating, hiking, skiing and just being outdoors as much as possible. Like in this picture.
Fun fact about me, I ran 1500m in 4m 12s as a 15 year old!
Enjoy the community and we look forward to being ever more engaged with our customers and your success. :)

Hello, I am Victoria Peters, COO at Envolta Inc. I truly love the challenges my team brings to me every day. We are a growing, 90% virtual firm, fully cloud integrated and my history is over 35 years in the old school traditional accounting industry - the challenges create themselves!
My Linkedin www.linkedin.com/in/viclypeters if you would like to connect.
My job revolves a lot around processes and systems and making sure our teams are working well, our clients are enjoying the experience and we all have the work life balance we want. It is a work in progress.
I love to be outdoors but I must admit I have traded in the canoe and tent for an RV and full on ‘glamping’. Give me a campfire and clear view of the stars and stress melts away.

Hey everyone! I am Ian Vacin, co-founder and Chief Customer Officer, here at Karbon.
What do I do here at Karbon? I oversee everything related to our users and partners plus I am the resident process expert. I love meeting and working with all of you and learning what new and interesting ways all of you have customized Karbon to work the way you would want.
What do I love most about my job? Even during interesting times like this, I love meeting firms and teams like yours to learn how things actually get done. Everyone of you do the hard jobs of working with small businesses to support and elevate them which drives the global economy. Whatever we can do to help you become more efficient and more profitable ultimately helps those small businesses. So let us know what we can do to better enable your firms to be more successful!
Favorite hobby? For me, my favorite hobby is really just trying to live in the moment each day. I love to be outdoors, traveling, and playing sports whether that be with my kids playing baseball, soccer, tennis or golf, or training for a triathlon. I try, and recommend, activities to disconnect from technology (e.g. can’t take calls or check emails while swimming!). It is hard, and something I try to improve on each day.
Fun fact? Little do people know that one of my earliest jobs was a downhill ski racer. While studying at UC Berkeley, I was part of the downhill ski racing team. My preference and specialty was Super G, though I skied all 4 downhill race events including Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super G and Downhill. Don’t ask me to race against you though. Since the injury that ended my career, when I do go to the slopes, I prefer to train others (mostly kids) on how to ski vs. trying to do what I used to do for a living.
Hello everyone
Anastasis Mouktaris here, partner of Mouktaris & Co Chartered Accountants based in London!
https://www.linkedin.com/in/anastasis-mouktaris-cfa-97086126/ - is my Linkedin
I love the variety of practice life and being creative/collaborative to leverage solutions, especially in tax. I also take great satisfaction in engraining a tech-mindset (especially to “old schoolers”) to gain efficiencies (majored in economics).
Mad about football (playing and watching), residential property, Victor ludorum of high school (sole/greatest sporting achievement!) and currently learning new phrases such as “concept” and “budget” in planning my wedding next September!
Let’s connect.
Hi everyone! I’m Andi.
As head of Success, Support & Services, my role is to ensure everyone has the resources they need to get up and running on Karbon all while having a delightful experience.
My favorite aspect of the job is helping firms achieve their Karbon goals whether it’s with time-savings improvements, or gaining visibility across work, clients and/or employees.
When I’m not at work, you can catch me enjoying a delicious glass of California red wine, strolling around my neighborhood with my family or reading a good book.
Fun fact: I’m a sucker for a Hallmark movie, especially during Christmas.
Great to have you in our Karbon Community. Engage, Elevate and Enjoy!

Hi everyone! Lachie here, I’m the Head of Marketing at Karbon, where I’ve worked for nearly 5 years now. It’s quite scary how quickly the time has flown. I’m responsible for our brand, content, website, and all other activities that help drive interest in Karbon.
My favourite part of my job is that despite working from home in Mornington, Australia (a small-ish town by the beach, outside of Melbourne), I get to work with a great team and speak every day to customers from all over the world. That’s one of the reasons I’m so excited that we have finally launched this community! I’m really looking forward to getting to know you all a lot better.
I love my sport, particularly Aussie Rules football and cricket, which I know will be foreign to a lot of you! And I’ve been running quite a bit during our COVID lockdown. Though there is no way that I would come close to beating 15-year old

Hi everyone! I’m Mike. I co-founded Basis 365 Accounting in 2012. We’re based in Southern California. Our team is 100% remote with 18 team members spread across California, Colorado, Texas, Illinois, and Malaysia.
Prior to starting Basis, I was an audit partner at a CPA firm. My business partner, who was also an auditor, and I, wanted to sit on the same side of the table with our clients and to help them build their dream so we started Basis.
As former Wolters Kluwer/CCH guys we mucked around in their paperless engagement software division. We’ve always looked to technology to improve the accounting experience. That’s why being in the cloud, 100% remote, and using Karbon is so important to us.
Outside of accounting, I enjoy reading non-fiction books. Lately, I’ve also developed a fascination for mechanical keyboards and fountain pens.
G’day everyone 👋 I’m Jess, Marketing Coordinator at Karbon!
I’ve been a part of this awesome team for around 8 months, and am responsible for bringing you the content on Karbon Magazine, including coordinating our webinars and our Practice Excellence Weekly newsletter (where we bring you the most valuable tips, tools and tactics to help you run a better accounting firm—in one place, each week).
My favourite part of my job is working with a team of absolute guns in their respective fields—I’m always learning from, and inspired by, their talent and hard work. I also LOVE producing educational and interesting content for Karbon Magazine to help accounting professionals get the most out of every aspect of their jobs and work-life balance.
Fun fact: I was born in a seaside town in Italy before moving to Melbourne, Australia when I was 3 years old. Although I’m Italian through-and-through, I’m probably the most Aussie-sounding Karbon team member (just ask
My hobbies are a little bit random: I love watching and playing most sports (although Aussie rules footy is my favourite), I’m also a live theatre technician so I love me some musical theatre, and as of COVID-19, I’m a big jigsaw puzzle fan.
Looking forward to being a part of Karbon Community and getting to know you all. Please reach out to say hi, and if you have any suggestions about the types of articles and content that you would find useful in Karbon Magazine, I would love to hear from you.
Chat soon 👋
P.S. If you would like to subscribe to the Practice Excellence Weekly newsletter, head over to Karbon Magazine and fill out any of the subscription forms (you’ll find one on just about every page, and usually at the bottom of article pages).

Hi everyone! My name is Savannah, and I work for a start up based out of Athens GA called Seller Accountant that specializes in e-commerce accounting. I attended UGA and started working with my firm as a part time bookkeeper during school. I now am the Karbon Champion for my firm and work as a Client Onboarding Manager. I am really excited to get to know everyone and to be apart of this community!
My favorite part of my job is getting to know the new clients we bring on and find what motivates them. Nothing is more fulfilling than being able to be a small part of their passion and success.
I have spent years painting and drawing. Although I haven’t found much time to do it recently, it is by far one of my most fulfilling hobbies. I also really enjoy yoga and would love to become a certified instructor!
Fun fact: My partner and I recently moved to Saint Simons Island in GA. Attaching a photo of us on one of our many beach walks.
Hi all!
I’m Megan, Founder and Principal of The Mobius Group, a QBO-centric consulting firm focused on nonprofits. We’ve been around since 2000 and virtual since 2015, which is also about when we started using Karbon - so long ago that Andi actually trained my team and we projected her on the TV via ChromeCast!
I also created and admin the QuickBooks for Nonprofits group on Facebook, which is exactly what it sounds like.
I don’t touch tax, and have some Imposter Syndrome around accounting in general, having been a theatre major (focus on directing) before stumbling into nonprofit finance.
Outside of work, I can be found taking my dogs on long walks through the neighborhood while listening to a podcast, working in the garden, or sitting on the porch with a glass of wine and a good book, as the weather allows.

Hi everyone. My name is Linda Strauss. I am the practice manager of a small (but growing) accounting firm in Johannesburg, South Africa
My favourite aspect of my job is without a doubt making a difference and being able to give people peace of mind. I am very organised and thrive on achieving the goals I set for myself. I am very focused on development and helping people grow, individually and in a team.
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love entertaining and being creative with food and table settings.

Hello all. I am Jeff Reimer. My firm, Jeffrey D. Reimer, CPA, PLLC is a small virtual CPA firm in Rochester, MN with a global reach serving clients with U.S. tax, payroll and accounting challenges. I work with a team of five, and we have been using Karbon since January 2017.
I enjoy engaging technology to build systems to solve problems and provide the information necessary for clients to succeed.

Hey there! I am Alysia LaTourette!
I am one of two partners of OLYMPUS Consulting and Accounting. We live and work on the Washington coast but serve clients all over western Washington. One of the really neat things about our firm is that we don’t do tax season. We have committed to only doing tax returns for clients that engage in a monthly service subscription. This has allowed us to maintain exceptional customer service year round and our customers love it!
My favorite part of my job is helping businesses grow and watching business owners pry themselves away from the details and start working the big picture. I am growing more into business coaching and it’s very personally rewarding.
I am a knowledge seeker. My favorite things to outside of work is my life’s work; learn and teach. I love to dive into new information and share it.
Fun fact about myself is I LOVE to sing, but I am not at all great at it. My family and I sing around the house daily.

Hello all. Nice to see a community centered around Karbon.
I’m Matt Belville, owner/operator, of a small accounting firm in Boise, Idaho building big dreams. I feel most rewarded when teaching clients about business and financials beyond the typical, “here’s a profit and loss”.
When not crunching numbers I am in the outdoors camping, hiking, and fishing. I generally love the sense of adventure. I find this in travel and experiencing new places, people, and things.
I went to school on a percussion scholarship...lead to accounting somehow.
