Hi Nathan,
most bosses are like that.. :lol:
Could be a Murraya Paniculata or orange jasmine. if it is your boss wont be disapointed.

Quote from Wikipedia.
Orange Jessamine is a small, tropical, evergreen tree or shrub growing up to 7 m tall. The plant flowers throughout the year. Its leaves are glabrous and glossy, occurring in 3-7 oddly pinnate leaflets.

Hey Nathan,

Its hard to be sure but I think its Glochidion ferdinandii (Cheese tree), they are a very fast growing pioneer species.
