    Today Cam McCracken sits down with Angela Lee from Codification Accounting + Business Advisory to discuss EOFY tax planning, strategies + new changes and updates.  I remember the first time I met Angela we had dinner together at Bangalow Pub and discussed the possibility of working together.  My initial thoughts were wow she is super switched on + trustrworthy and I immediately felt super comfortable about working together and involving her really closely in our business and around our members (Cam and I work with her personally now which probably says it all tbh).   At Sparky Coach we have been working closely with Angela for coming up to 4 years now and we feel very lucky to have her on our team.
