Matthew Donald

Matthew Donald's passion for shares started in high school. He studied a Bachelor of Business (Accounting) at Swinburne University of Technology, graduating in 2013. In 2018, Matthew completed his CPA (Certified Practicing Accountant) from CPA Australia. After years of investing, Matthew believes shares can create wealth and he would like to help educate Australians about the many great companies on the ASX. Matthew's other interests include sport, particularly AFL and NBA.
