Nick Sitchell

Nick Setchell is an accountant-turned-entrepreneur who realized that traditional accounting fails to provide the financial information that matters most to mid-market CEOs.

Nick Setchell’s Passion

Nick Setchell, the Director and founder of Practices Strategies Pty Ltd, is a passionate advocate of the use of powerful financial modeling software and tools in mid-market companies that gives mid-market CEOs the information they need to make better business decisions in real time.

The RealTime CEO offering evolved from Nick’s continuing focus on building world-class financial tools in a format that mid-market CEOs and their executive teams can utilise in their day-to-day business.
