Business Advice
Busy is easy. Profitable is the job.
Plain-English advice for Aussie small business owners, from $330 a month. Know your numbers, fix your pricing, get your cash under control and stop working for nothing.
No jargon, no 40-page reports nobody reads. Three numbers and what to do about them.
Sound familiar?
Revenue's up. Bank balance isn't.
Turnover looks great and there's still nothing left at the end of the month. That's a margin or a cash timing problem, and they're fixable.
You haven't raised prices in years.
Costs went up, your rates didn't. Most owners we meet are 10-15% under where they should be and terrified to move.
Tax bills come out of nowhere.
Nobody told you what was coming, so it lands as a shock instead of a number you'd already set aside for.
You're guessing, not deciding.
Hire or not. Buy the ute or lease it. Take the big job or pass. Guesses are expensive when they're wrong.

How it works.
We look at the last 12 months.
Your file, your bank, your jobs. We find where the margin leaks and what your best work actually is.
We sit down and talk it through.
No jargon. Three or four numbers that matter, what they mean, and what you'd change first.
You act, we check in.
A short action list with dates on it, then a quarterly session to see if it worked and what's next.
Numbers that actually moved.

"The 13-week cashflow changed how I run the place. I know six weeks out when it'll be tight and I plan for it."No overdraft in 18 months
