Grant McCall, Founder & Designer of Rounded

Grant McCall is the Founder and Designer of Australian-based accounting App for freelancers and sole traders, Rounded.
10-years as a freelance designer and developer taught Grant a lot about running a solo business. But when every other aspect of his business was down to fine art, the elephant in the room was getting louder: he’d tried dozens of accounting platforms and caused himself nothing but hours of manual work trying to get his finances tax-ready.
The tipping point came one chilly Melbourne morning when Grant—quite literally—tipped a box of paper receipts onto his Accountant’s desk. Two hours later, Grant walked out of that office with a new mission: to build an accounting App that makes work better for the self-employed.
That App is called Rounded.

Peter Stanhope, Co-Founder of GigSuper

The rise of the gig economy is unprecedented and unstoppable.
That's a good thing as it adds diversity of working style and flexibility of working hours, however, it also comes with some distinct differences to the 'old-school' style of direct employment and its associated benefits including holiday leave, sick leave, and superannuation.
What do people who work for themselves do to cover these benefits? What is the government doing to legislate these benefits? And what are the options for freelancers and sole traders?
We talk with Peter Stanhope about his new start-up, GigSuper, and how it is helping freelancers and sole traders look after one of the main things missing from their working and personal lives, superannuation and the chance of a healthy and funded retirement.
