The making of bo2 Academy
At bO2 Academy, we’re part of the bigger bO2 Corporate Essentials family. Our journey began back in 2006 in sunny Queensland when we launched as Tax Smart Australia, helping businesses make sense of accounting and HR. Over the years, we joined forces with some big names in the industry — Australian Taxation Reporter, The Taxation Examiner, and My Tax Savers. Together, we’ve built a powerhouse of professional services that support a wide range of sectors across Australia.
Our mission
We aim to make professional learning simple, effective and relevant. Over the year, we have learned that clear communication and intuitive delivery create simplicity and save valuable time. Our approach to problem-solving when developing courses makes the lessons effective, and the currency of our lessons makes them relevant.
Meet the team
We’re a mix of seasoned experts, academics, and fresh, tech-savvy minds — all passionate about one thing: helping professionals stay at the top of their game. It’s this unique blend of experience and innovation that makes our CPD solutions simple, effective and relevant.
