Our Cow is an online butcher delivering premium, ethically sourced meat from Australian farms straight to customers around Australia. The business partners directly with more than 150 Australian farmers, with a focus on grass-fed, free-range and sustainably raised meat and seafood.

Nick is CFO at Our Cow. Based in Sydney, he looks after reporting, cash flow and forecasting, while also working closely with the founders on strategy, funding and growth. In a business of this size, his role also extends into operations and compliance wherever the numbers are needed.

With the wider operation based in Casino, in northern New South Wales, and marketing, finance and tech teams working remotely across Australia, Nick uses Inspire Cowork as his day-to-day base in Miranda.

Inspire Cowork came recommended by a friend, and the Miranda location was a major reason Nick chose it.

He wanted somewhere convenient to home and wasn’t keen on travelling into the city every day. Inspire Cowork gave him a local office setup that suited the way he works, with access to his own office, meeting rooms, shared facilities and occasional phone booths when needed.

That combination made it a practical fit for both focused work and in-person meetings.

Nick typically works from Inspire Cowork Monday to Friday. His private office gives him a consistent place to manage the day-to-day finance side of the business, including reporting, forecasting and strategy work.

He also uses Inspire Cowork to bring Sydney-based team members together. At times, he invites other Our Cow team members in Sydney to work from Inspire with him for the day, booking a meeting room so they can collaborate in person.

When needed, he also uses the phone booths for calls.

Inspire Cowork also supports Nick’s meetings with suppliers and other business contacts.

The meeting rooms give him a dedicated place to sit down with suppliers, talk through ideas and work through plans. The shared facilities also help create a welcoming meeting experience, including the ability to offer visitors a coffee while they are there.

For a business working across locations, having a reliable local place to meet face-to-face has been a useful part of Nick’s setup.

For Nick, the benefit of Inspire Cowork has been both practical and personal.

It gives him a local office that supports focused work, team collaboration and supplier meetings, while also providing the day-to-day connection that was missing when he worked from home.

Just as importantly, it has given him a sense of community.

“I enjoy the people, I have built great friendships here and really enjoy the community and environment.” – Nick, CFO, Our Cow

For Our Cow, Inspire Cowork continues to work as a straightforward, reliable base for its Sydney finance function and in-person collaboration.
