Who am I today? I’m Ron, Founder and Co-director of Atticus Accounting and Disability Support Coordination, Atticus Disability Consulting, and finally, B Aroha Consulting. 15 years in and I’m still passionate in seeing the change and helping support people be their best. B Aroha is the realisation of years of dedication to supporting others to achieve their dreams…

This past year has seen significant changes in my life following a surprise health scare. This has caused me to re-evaluate how I do things at home and in my work.

This drives me to do what I can to guide others to their desired lives, find the abundance of their lives, and ultimately realise their dreams. Working alongside people with disabilities, I’ve been privileged to experience the incredible highs of positive outcomes, far outweighing the lows of the challenges…
