Accounting
More than just accounting...
Make your business work for you, not the other way around.
Who I help
Business owners who want to "have their fingers on the financial pulse of their business" and understand which levers they can pull to have the biggest financial impact on their profitability and cashflow.
The problem I solve
Business owners who don't clearly understand how their business is tracking, or don't understand what they can do to improve their business and/or financial position. Also, people lacking clarity on their financial and business goals, or next steps to pursue their goals.
My point of difference
I think strategically and help business owners focus on where they want to take their business. Because of my deep understanding of financial and business matters I can make a real contribution beyond traditional accounting and tax advice.
My niche market
Small & Medium business owners, rental property investors, and investors who need access to accounting and taxation expertise. I also help start-ups so they can avoid many of the mistakes that new business owners tend to make.
Key benefits
Down to earth, practical advice from a knowledgeable and friendly professional with decades of experience in solving problems - business, tax, accounting, financial and life!
Problems my clients avoid
Missed tax deadlines and penalties because they got too busy (heads in the sand!) Tax surprises because they weren't keeping track of or understanding their numbers Bad financial and business decisions because they didn't get professional advice Stress caused by all of the above.
