Murray's History
Murray first started with becoming an Electronics Service Technician & Engineering in the early 80's and that lead to a comprehensive array of different fields of expertise including domestic, commercial and industrial areas. I specialised in Process Automation, Analogue and Digital solutions and analytical digital systems processing including designing, building and working with other engineers in other fields for large process production including the Dairy Industry, Affco, Breweries and NZ Army including munitions . That lead in to designing software for specific requirements that clients required to operate the products and equipment that we had prototyped for commercial and Industrial use. That soon led to building specific Computers Systems and repairs for all forms of electronics from Shipping to domestic equipment. Software remained to be a big focus over the last few years and our designer software is still out there working hard along with our engineered products. As I ventured more into the domestic scene repairing or fixing faults and software glitches dominated the last few years which included all sorts of software including security software which we ethically tested for bugs and breaches of systems from Banks to Corporations . I was asked more and more to fix clumsy and often out of date accounting software, which I had a lot to do with, as people did not have enough knowledge about accounting and how to apply it in the ever increasing client based software environment . That is how the Accounting path started for me. Of course now this has developed into a position that has become integral to my Partner and myself as Christine is an Accountant and I am just about everything else from a Tax Agent , Bookkeeper to a Software analyst providing expert advise and support using a Cloud based Accounting environment called Xero to which I have become a Partner.
