Events

Meet the people behind the practices near you

Our events put connection first. Get to know each other, trust each other and value each other, so that when someone needs backup, they call a friend, not a stranger. Events run in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, with online options for regional members.

Monthly from March 2027

SOLO Connect networking evening

A relaxed evening for sole practitioners in accounting and finance. Our host introduces you to people by discipline and suburb, so you leave knowing at least three colleagues by name. No sales pitches.

When you are matched

Meet your backup

Before signing the Relief and Backup Code, matched practitioners meet face to face over coffee, with a host if you like. Your backup should be someone you know and trust.

Student night: meet the practitioners

Accounting and finance students meet sole practitioners over pizza. Short talks on what running your own practice is really like, then speed mentoring, where students rotate between members every ten minutes. Students can sign up for mentoring, placements and tax-season work on the night.

What to expect

Networking that doesn't feel like networking

Introductions, not name tags

A host makes the introductions, so no one stands alone in a corner.

No selling

No sponsors pitching from the stage and no one handing you a brochure. Just colleagues talking shop.

The same faces

Regular events mean you see people again and again. That is how acquaintances become people you trust.
