Our Divisions

CFO Mentor

Strategic financial judgement when you need direction, not just numbers.

You have financial data, but it doesn’t translate into clear decisions. You might be facing tight cash flow, margin pressure, or simply feel like you lack a senior, objective sounding board to help you navigate growth, risk, and daily trade-offs.

How We Address It:

  • Translate complex financial results into clear, actionable management choices.

  • Establish a disciplined rhythm of weekly cash reviews and monthly KPI reporting.

  • Mentor your existing finance team or accountant to be more proactive and business-facing.

  • Provide independent, commercially grounded challenge on cash, margin, people, and execution.

 

Best For: Growing businesses under pressure, preparing for change, or needing stronger financial leadership without the overhead of a full-time CFO.

Client Gains: A commercially minded CFO partner, clear priorities instead of vague commentary, and a finance function that actually drives your business forward.

CFO Concierge

Reliable finance operations that keep your engine room under control.

Your business is growing, but the finance administration is a mess. You are dealing with late reporting, messy bookkeeping, poor internal controls, and the constant stress of last-minute compliance deadlines.

How We Address It:

  • Clean up and maintain accurate, reconciled, and usable accounting records (Xero, Sage, or QuickBooks).

  • Manage tax, payroll, and statutory deadlines with a structured calendar and proactive follow-up process.

  • Ensure source documents, bank feeds, debtor records, and creditor balances are properly captured and flowing.

  • Prepare management-ready numbers so your strategic decisions are built on a solid, reliable foundation.

 

Best For: Businesses that need dependable financial operations, stronger internal controls, and a stress-free monthly accounting rhythm.

Client Gains: A calmer, more controlled back-office process, fewer compliance scrambles, and the confidence that your financial foundation is solid and reliable.

CFO Capital

Strategic capital advisory to make your business fundable and transaction-ready.

You are planning a major move - like raising funding, selling the business, restructuring, or bringing in partners - but you aren’t sure if your business is truly "investor-ready" or how to maximise its value and protect your interests.

How We Address It:

  • Assess and prepare your business for lenders, investors, buyers, or strategic partners.

  • Build robust financial models, forecasts, and compelling investor/lender information packs.

  • Provide valuation discipline and deal-readiness assessments to identify and fix risks before negotiations begin.

  • Bring sober, board-level judgement to high-stakes choices where emotion, urgency, or optimism can distort decisions.

 

Best For: Businesses approaching funding, a sale, restructuring, succession, or any major strategic inflection point.

Client Gains: A realistic view of your business’s value and fundability, a stronger narrative for negotiations, and independent commercial judgement when it matters most.

Client Stories

What Clients Say

I have known Mike for more than a decade and have worked closely with him across several projects, primarily in my capacity as an investor and director.

In one engagement, I brought Mike in to help build out the finance function of a startup in which I was invested. He established robust financial policies and controls, trained the team, built clear reporting dashboards, automated key processes, and led the final forecasting, financial modelling, and valuation work to support a capital raise. He also assisted with the recruitment and transition to a permanent CFO. The result was a disciplined, scalable finance platform that materially strengthened governance, decision-making, and investor credibility.

In another context, I recommended Mike into a business that required a step-change in financial discipline and control, alongside support on financial analysis in the context of an ongoing dispute. He approached this with professionalism and independence, provided clear and objective analysis, and was comfortable challenging assumptions and advising on relevant financial matters, always anchored in transparency, good governance, and commercial reality.

I trust Mike’s judgment implicitly and rely on his insight into finance, accounting, structuring, and valuation. He is a clear thinker, a strong problem solver, and someone you want involved when issues are complex and the stakes are high.

Beyond his technical capabilities, Mike brings perspective and candour. He is well read, thoughtful, and not afraid to voice a considered view. These qualities make him both effective and valued at board level.

I would recommend Mike without hesitation as a Non-Executive Director, Outsourced CFO, or senior advisor. He brings independence, integrity, and calm authority, and consistently adds value in board and governance-led environments. Over the years, our working relationship has deepened, and we have also grown to be friends.
