Distinguished Professor Lee Parker was inducted into the Australian Accounting Hall of Fame in 2020. He has made a significant contribution to interdisciplinary accounting research through his role as joint founding editor of the Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, his prolific publications, his periodic Qualitative Research Colloquia and exemplary mentoring. Narrative research conducted with an oral history approach drew on interviews with Lee, his colleagues and family members. Lee's story highlights how his willingness to learn from others, grasp opportunities, reflect and adjust, as well as his generous, giving spirit have contributed to his considerable global influence. Understanding his philosophies and motivators provides a rich canvas for researchers wanting to interpret his many publications. His story also provides insights and inspiration for those interested in an academic career and leadership.
