Ben Preston joins Sarah Bartholomeusz to talk about his unique journey to becoming an accomplished CFO. Following a series of very cold nights working in remote South Australia and a chance meeting a plan was put in place to embark on the journey to become an accountant.

The "journey" included working as a mining labourer at Olympic Dam, a spot welder on the production line at Mitsubishi and an Accounts Payable clerk at the Women's and Children's Hospital.

Ben Preston is now an accomplished CFO with many years of experience behind him as a CFO and prior to this working in both second tier and big four accounting firms. He is currently the CFO of the very popular family restaurant franchise, Fasta Pasta.
