Know If You're Making Money or Just Staying Busy

Your accountant gives you reports, but you stare at them wondering what they actually mean for your business. You're profitable on paper, but your bank account tells a different story. Sound familiar?

I help Australian small business owners translate their financial reports into plain English insights they can actually use to make better business decisions. Think of me as your financial interpreter - I work with your accountant, not instead of them.

I'm Not Your Accountant (And That's Actually Better)

I work alongside your existing accountant and bookkeeper - they handle compliance, I help you understand what it all means

When to Call Your Accountant

  • Tax preparation and lodgement
  • Complex compliance questions
  • Audit support and legal requirements
  • Tax structure advice and optimisation
  • Detailed depreciation calculations

  • You want to improve profitability but don't know how
  • You need simple systems to track your money

  • You need cash flow forecasting and management
  • You want help with your company or personal budget

The Hidden Cost of Financial Confusion

What Financial Confusion Actually Costs You

  • Making pricing decisions based on gut feel instead of actual costs
  • Cash flow surprises that force you into expensive emergency funding
  • Missing profitable opportunities because you can't see the numbers clearly

  • Stressing about money instead of focusing on growing your business

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you replace my accountant? +
Not at all! I work with your existing accountant. They handle compliance and tax preparation - I help you understand and use your financial information to make better business decisions. Think of it as a three-way partnership for your financial success.
Do you do bookkeeping or tax returns? +
No, I don't do bookkeeping or tax preparation. I help you set up systems so bookkeeping is easier, and I teach you what the numbers mean once they're recorded. For compliance work, you'll still need your accountant.
What if I'm not good with numbers? +
Perfect! Most business owners aren't naturally "numbers people" - that's exactly who I help. I translate financial concepts into plain English and focus on the practical insights you need to run your business better.
How is this different from working with my accountant? +
Your accountant focuses on compliance, tax, and technical accuracy. I focus on helping you understand what those numbers mean for your business decisions. I'm like a translator between your accountant's reports and your strategic thinking.
Do you work with businesses outside Adelaide? +
Yes, I work with small businesses across Australia. Most financial strategy consulting can be done remotely, though I prefer to meet in person for the initial financial health check when possible.
