Our people

iBean commenced operation in January 2001 and continues to enjoy working with a number of clients that engaged the company’s services in its first year of business.

The group consists of two directors and a number of qualified accountants, analysts and project managers. Our people possess strong commercial acumen coupled with extensive experience across various industry sectors including insurance, technology, health, government and biotechnology. Working in a team structure enables us to use a 'collective knowledge approach' to rapidly identify and understand a client's requirements and then develop and deliver the best fit solution.
