What the film says

Her first pay slip arrives at eighteen. A café job, a tax line she doesn't understand, and a super fund she's never heard of. Most accounting firms would love Chloe as a client.

Their websites say so: tax returns, super, business advice, wealth. Chloe doesn't read any of it. It's a list, and she's eighteen.

Now picture a short animated story, told from Chloe's side. Eighteen: her first tax return, done properly. Twenty-five: a deposit on her first home, planned two years ahead.

Thirty-five: her own business, with an accountant who already knows her numbers. Sixty: her super doing what it should. Eighty: a quiet morning on the verandah, nothing to worry about.

One firm, the whole way. Chloe sees her own life in it, and books a first meeting. I made a story like this for an Australian accounting firm, for clients aged eighteen to twenty-five, and they were very happy with it.

I've also run my own business for twenty-five years, so I know what you're trying to say to a client. If you'd like young clients to see what you'd do for them, I'm happy to talk. Message me on LinkedIn.
