Naazneen Wadia

Office Manager

Naaz is one of the key team members at Accomplish. A Commerce graduate, she is a veteran after more than ten years with the company. There is not much that Naaz doesn't know about the day to day running of the office and she can answer just about any question you throw at her!

Nat Dowsett

Nat Dowsett

Senior Product Specialist

Nat started at Accomplish in August 2008 and spent the next 6 ½ years working in our technical support team. He therefore knows all there is to know about CashManager. During this time he also contributed to the ongoing management of our website, and some sales generating activities. In November 2014, Nat left Accomplish to work in a recruitment role helping to find jobs for people with disabilities. In April 2016 Nat returned to Accomplish in a sales capacity as our Senior Product Specialist.

Outside of Accomplish, and to show how much ‘grit’ he has, Nat is a keen supporter of the NZ Warriors team (tough work … at least in 2016)!!
