Zoë Scholtz
I write about getting back up, finishing what you start and making the numbers make sense.
Hello, I'm Zoë.
I'm a Chartered Accountant (South Africa) who learned to love running, writing and photography the hard way. I have worked in forensic and risk advisory, and as a chief financial officer.
I have run an ultramarathon, written books and taken far too many photographs. My stories start small: a third lamp post, a pot of jam, a camera I couldn't work. They end up in the same place. Do the next small thing, and keep going.

From the blog
Short stories from running, writing, travelling and everyday life, and what they teach me. New posts are on my blog.
Numbers, people and plain lessons
On LinkedIn I share short stories and plain-language lessons about finance, leadership and getting the basics right.
Brilliance gets applause. Consistency gets you a clean close.
