We are two professionals from different backgrounds — connected by a shared curiosity for how people learn and grow.
Jim Turnbull brings decades of experience as a CFO and registered accountant, now combined with his work as finance lecturer, coach, and roleplay actor. He helps people reflect, connect, and grow — with structure, empathy, and a good sense of humour.
Therèse de Groot connects academia, policy, and practice. As a PhD and RA, she focuses on strengthening the future of the accounting profession through critical reflection and fresh perspectives — themes she explores further at accountingreflections.com.
Together, we created Vientus as a space for meaningful learning — always structured, always playful, always human.
