What do you get when you cross:

A former Practice Manager who, at firm after firm, had to wrangle outdated software, time-sapping processes, confused and disengaged staff, and partners who just wanted to focus on doing their job with an Accountant who’s been on both sides (pre and post, dark and light) of the cloud accounting revolution?
 
You get a couple of passionate experts, on a mission to make life breezier for high-potential practices like you. We’re talking equal parts clarity, ease and enjoyment – powered, of course, by your expertise and determination.

​​At Clarity Street, we know the accounting landscape – after all, we’ve been navigating it for more than a decade.
 
We understand the nuances of the industry, but we also get that no two practices are the same. That’s why our solutions don’t come out of a box. Instead, we take a holistic view of your business and design solutions accordingly.
 
We’ve helped clients identify thousands of dollars in savings by transforming their internal processes, refocusing team duties, and implementing integrated software solutions. We’re good like that.

'The former
​Practice Manager'

Amy Holdsworth
​CEO & Founder

​Amy started Clarity Street in 2015, with the conviction that by using the right software, simplifying processes and engaging teams, practices could really soar.
 
Over the past 10 years, Amy has gained vast experience within the accounting industry, sharpening her expertise as Practice Manager at multiple firms.
 
She was also part of the first wave of implementation partners for Xero (following the purchase of WorkflowMax), and went on to implement practice management software for accountants in a number of roles including Head of Customer Success at Practice Ignition.
 
It was the frustration Amy witnessed during her day-to-day dealings with accountants, that sparked her desire to make practices more effective and profitable.
 
Prior to joining the accounting fold, Amy spent 10 years in business development and management roles within the hospitality and finance sectors, both in Australia and abroad.
 
In her spare time, Amy is a tantalisingly-good baker, an avid world traveller, and has recently returned to the competition stage for Calisthenics - a sport she dominated as a junior.
