COADS Partners

FOUNDER/DIRECTOR

After working with government instrumentalities, schools, hospitals, medium sized and large companies and Chartered Accountant Firms as an employee for 25 years, it become apparent to Angelo that he was ready for a new challenge. He developed a passion and hobby in building computer systems and programs. Fascinated by Microsoft basic development and programming tools, Angelo was hands on and never lost the ability to program. As a hobby, he experimented with the design and programming of flexible computer software routines that could easily be adapted and incorporated into any computer application requirement.

In 1996 Angelo founded COADS and was introduced to his first client who needed a system that was flexible, provided the required features, avoided unnecessary keystrokes and could be easily modified. Angelo’s support and commitment were paramount, and his services helped him contribute to this business’s success: the computer application final design, look and feel was fool proof!

Angelo’s motto? Focus on solutions, not problems.

He is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia.

Angelo enjoys spending time on the golf course, seeing family as well as travelling to his place of birth – Sicily, Italy.
