Clinton Gibson, CA

About Clinton Gibson – Passionate about Guiding Financial Success

Clinton started his career in accounting at Sterling Accountants as a graduate accountant, bringing with him an impressive list of qualifications; Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and Business Law, Graduate Diploma of Accounting and later becoming a Chartered Accountant (CA). As a child, Clinton was always diligent with his own money, with the aim of getting a bigger reward through savings. During his studies at Curtin University, he realised that he had an affinity for working with numbers. So much so that he can recite pi to at least 10 digits! This all translated into accounting.

His hard work and knowledge saw him quickly progress to a managerial position within two years, with staff reporting to him, then just a few years, Clinton became a Partner. Sterling Accountants merged with a local bookkeeping firm in 2014, which saw the launch of Carbon Group. Clinton has been with Carbon throughout the whole journey and has played an integral role in our success.

Business tips from Clinton

At Carbon, we love how the introduction of cloud-based accounting software has changed the role of an accountant in some ways. It allows for numerous tasks to be automated that were previously time-consuming manual tasks. This means accountants can take more of a hands-on approach in offering advice and strategies. Accountants should be talking to their clients – getting together and having a chat over coffee will always be a powerful way to deliver advice and get a better understanding of the business. If your accountant isn’t doing so, find one who will.
