Wellington, New Zealand – Spotlight Reporting, the award-winning SaaS platform for dashboards, consolidations, budgeting, forecasting and management reporting, has expanded its advisory ecosystem by welcoming Peter Harris CA, Co-Founder and Director of Maisey Harris & Co, as a Spotlight Champion and Power User.

Peter will be joining Andrew Mattner, Founder and CEO of Your Success Lab, who was also recently inducted as a Spotlight Champion and Power User one week ago.

The program is an elite knowledge-sharing initiative and draws on the experience of accounting leaders from New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the USA for best advisory practices and experiences with modern data tools.

Peter says his firm has used Spotlight Reporting’s multi-product platform for 10 years to help clients understand their financials and in turn, drive sustainable business growth, informed decision-making, and confident business execution. 

This aligns with Spotlight Reporting’s mission to empower progressive accountants to deliver profitable advisory services with quantifiable clarity and strategic direction.

The Advisory Shift From Compliance to Active Dialogue

Peter notes that delivering real value requires more than historical reporting – clients appreciate forward-looking insights and meaningful conversations.

“I’m excited to be joining this group of global Spotlight Champions, especially given Maisey Harris & Co has been using Spotlight Reporting for almost a decade. It’s become a core part of how we’ve been able to deliver value to our advisory clients; they really love the clarity and depth in both the management reports and cashflow forecasts we prepare.

Spotlight software strikes the right balance between flexibility and substance. It’s not just about attractive visuals, but about internal efficiency for us and actionable insights for clients to understand why things are happening and what levers they can pull to achieve their goals. Plus, our team loves using Spotlight!”

Executive Perspective on Network Value

Richard Francis, CEO of Spotlight Reporting, embraces the power of having a network of Spotlight Champions alongside Peter's expertise.

“We’re thrilled to be welcoming Peter to our Champion network. His commitment to proactive advisory is well known and his firm is leading the charge. We value his input and I look forward to sharing more of this with the industry soon.”

Peter is looking forward to sharing the smart ways he uses the Spotlight platform, helping inspire others to lean into advisory work and be just as successful. He is part of the first cohort of Spotlight Champions and Power Users that will be announced over the coming months.
