​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.
​You haven't raised prices in years.
​Tax bills come out of nowhere.
​You're guessing, not deciding.
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.
​Costs went up, your rates didn't. Most owners we meet are 10-15% under where they should be and terrified to move.
​Nobody told you what was coming, so it lands as a shock instead of a number you'd already set aside for.
​Hire or not. Buy the ute or lease it. Take the big job or pass. Guesses are expensive when they're wrong.
​What we actually work on.
​A handful of levers move nearly all the profit in a small business. We work on those.
​Pricing and margin
​Know which jobs make money and where to adjust prices.
Wage and job costing
​Understand your true labour costs and profit per job.
​Cashflow forecast
​See cash shortfalls coming with a 13-week forecast.
​Tax planning before June
Plan before 30 June, not after the tax bill arrives.
​Break-even and targets
​Set revenue targets that cover costs and pay you properly.
​Owner's pay and super
​Pay yourself consistently, with tax and super in mind.
​Fees quoted before we start.
​You should be able to contact your accountant without doing maths about it first.
​How it works.
01
​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.
02
​We sit down and talk it through.
​No jargon. Three or four numbers that matter, what they mean, and what you'd change first.
03
​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.
DOING IT TOUGH
​Tight cash, ATO debt, and you're not sure the business stacks up.
We'll build a real forecast, work out which weeks are the problem, and give you an honest read on whether this is a timing issue or a pricing issue.
​
Then a plan: what to charge, what to cut, what to negotiate and in what order. And if the honest answer is that the business doesn't work, we'll say that too — early enough for it to matter.
Confidential. No judgement.
Numbers that actually moved.
