Growing businesses between $1M and $50M deserve senior financial leadership — without a full-time CFO salary. We give you the numbers, the confidence, and the forward visibility to lead decisively.
Most growing business owners know the feeling. The books are maintained. Tax gets done. But nobody's actually looking ahead — and that silence is costing you.
You can't answer "can we afford this?"
Hiring decisions, new equipment, expansion — they're all guesses without a live forecast behind them.Your reports look backwards, not forwards
Your accountant files the return. Your bookkeeper closes the month. But who's modelling what happens next?Cash surprises are still happening
A tight week, an unexpected outflow, a margin squeeze — you shouldn't be finding out when it hits the bank.There's a gap between your bookkeeper and your strategy
Someone needs to connect the numbers to the business. Right now, nobody is.What gut-feel decisions cost
Estimated impact on annual business performance
"Every major decision you make should be backed by numbers you trust. That's the only standard that matters."
Not theory. Not reports for the sake of reports. Practical tools that make decisions easier, faster, and better.
Before signing a contract or writing a cheque, you'll see exactly what it costs — in cash, in margin, in runway. No more gut feel on major commitments.
A structured reporting pack built for owners — not accountants. Margins by profit centre, cash position, and where the business is heading. Delivered consistently.
A dynamic 3-way model (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) you can run scenarios through in real time. What happens if we hire two salespeople in Q3? You'll know.
Debt obligations, seasonal cash dips, margin pressure — we model it all in advance so you see issues coming weeks before they arrive, not the day they hit.
Quarterly strategy sessions. Ad-hoc scenario modelling. Someone to call before the big decisions — not after. I sit beside you, not behind you tidying the past.
This is what actually changes when you have the right financial leadership in place.
Every engagement begins with a Financial Deep Dive — so we're building on solid ground, not assumptions.
A free 30-minute call to understand your business, your numbers, and what's keeping you up at night. No obligation, no sales pitch.
We validate your numbers, identify what matters, surface risks and opportunities, and build a clear, prioritised plan forward.
Your custom 3-way forecast model is built using the Mango Method and integrated with Xero. Foundations set right, from the start.
Monthly reporting packs, quarterly strategy sessions, and a CFO you can call before the big decisions. Clarity as a constant, not an event.
