John Saade, CA

Client Director

John Saade is the co-founder of Latitude Accountants, a firm he helped establish in 2011 with a vision to provide unparalleled support to small and medium-sized businesses. With 20 years of experience in the field, John holds a Bachelor of Business (Accounting) and is a Chartered Accountant (CA). Under his leadership, Latitude Accountants has been recognised as one of the fastest-growing firms, a testament to his strategic vision and commitment to excellence.

John’s passion for continuous learning and personal development is evident both in and out of the office. He’s an avid NRL fan, particularly of the Bulldogs, and enjoys diving into podcasts, hitting the gym, and hosting his own podcast, The Lat Chat. On his wall, you’ll find the quote that drives him: “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” — Michael Jordan.

Beyond his professional achievements, John’s interest in Objective Personality profiles, much like MBTI, highlights his deep understanding of people, which he leverages to lead and grow his team. John’s combination of expertise, leadership, and passion makes him a cornerstone of Latitude Accountants.
