#ExpensiCon 3: How Iridium Doesn't "Practice" Accounting
Recorded live at ExpensiCon - In this episode of The Cloud Accounting Podcast, hosts Blake Oliver, CPA, and David Leary talk with Peter and Simon Magner, the founders of Iridium Business Solutions based in South Africa about their entrepreneurial journey, starting from melting chocolate as children to now managing a rapidly growing cloud-based accounting firm. The brothers also detail how they've leveraged global tools like Xero and Expensify to scale their business.

Peter Sean Magner
I am a proud Capetonian ⛰️ passionate about helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses by using better technology, improving their finances 💰, and having the right partners 🤝 in place. I am a new dad 🍼 to James and an avid Trail Runner 🏃🏼(these two don't always work harmoniously together). If I'm not behind a laptop 🧑🏼💻 solving problems, you are sure to find me exploring the running trails of Cape Town with my wife and German Shepherd 🐕 (or drinking wine 🍷). I love my rugby 🏉 and am a proud Stormers supporter. Things I love: * My Family 👨👩👦 🐕 * My Faith ⛪ * The Outdoors 🌳 * Marketing 💡 * Technology 📱 * Automation ⚙️ I enjoy training, mentoring, and learning and as already mentioned am a major fan of the outdoors. I am always interested in connecting with like-minded individuals and also people who are interested in growing and learning. I enjoy finding new and creative ways to do business and feel that it is often through listening to another's perspectives that one gains insight. I am open to new ideas and enjoy tinkering with new tools.
