Over the past 20 years, we’ve watched countless small businesses struggle to take their business to the next level.
They’ve grappled with cash flow, technology, and time management.
They struggled with compliance, scaling the business, plus hiring and retaining talent. And, keeping a healthy financial state, well, doing that alone consumes a lot of energy!
As a small business owner, you have A LOT on your plate.
That’s why we go beyond just providing tax, bookkeeping and accounting services.
We also offer strategic planning, education and empowerment advice in a 1 to 1 coaching capacity, and through business education workshops.
Most businesses we work with, haven’t experienced this type of support from their accountant. The type of advice that helps you set realistic goals, and make informed decisions to improve your financial scorecard.
If that’s you, how lifechanging would it be to run a better business by design? Because you can.
Being a small business owner, I understand your daily challenges. I’m different from your everyday accountant because I see the bigger picture and take an entrepreneurial approach to finances.
With over 20 years of experience as a Chartered Accountant, my passion for helping owner-operated businesses continues to drive me daily.
As your trusted advisor, I’ll help you meet your goals and realise your full business potential. I provide exceptional service and practical solutions that positively impact your business and personal life.
With commercial experience as a Financial Controller for a $45M construction company, a $50M carpet manufacturer, a $30M metal engineering firm, GM for a start-up food manufacturer, I’ll take your business to the next level.
Outside of work, I’m happily married with two daughters and a son. I enjoy family time (not so much driving around to weekend activities). I took up karate with my eldest daughter, she eventually quit – but, I’m almost a black belt!
