Speaker Bio
Sonia Gibson, director at Accounting Heart Chartered Accountants, loves solving puzzles and empowering people to help themselves. Using the feminine touch, Sonia has woven into Accounting Heart’s lifeforce a vision that sees business, money, and finances as more than just the numbers.
Sonia is a trusted pair of hands with unshakable integrity and business acumen. With her finger on the financial pulse, her insights and advice have been built on decades in the accounting profession, earning her stripes at the corporate table in a male dominated space. Everything she does is underpinned by two core aspects: alignment between head and heart and a heart-based approach focused on well-being.
As a Chartered Accountant, business advisor and strategist, Sonia’s professional career spans partnerships with leading Sydney accountancy firms, including a BRW top 100 firm, and extensively working with publicly listed companies right through to individuals and small businesses. As a small business owner, she understands the complexities and individual circumstances that impact this sector. This brings a unique perspective as she works with businesses; digging into figures that tell the unique story of a business.
As the winner of 2020 Women in Finance - Accountant of the Year, Silver Stevie Awards - Women in Business Awards and a finalist in the MyBusiness Awards, Sonia’s philosophy is to work with business aligning the head and heart to educate, empower, and help business owners to implement strategies for long term success and simplified management.
When Sonia is not crunching numbers or discussing business strategy, she’s bush walking with her husband Wayne, and exploring the great natural beauty of the Sutherland Shire and Australia.
