Poor Financial Management is Costly and Stressful
A lack of financial leadership in a business can have enormous consequences to profitability, cash flow and business valuation.
​
Inaccurate or poorly presented monthly financial information compromises the understanding of business performance and without a financial business plan there is no actionable roadmap to turn vision into reality.
​
With little confidence around their numbers and financial management processes, business leaders are left feeling commercially lonely and missing opportunities to optimise the financial outcomes of the business.

Your monthly financial information will be presented accurately and simply so that you understand the true financial performance and are aware of opportunities to optimise the financial outcomes of your business.
-
You will have a financial business plan in place that will become your actionable roadmap to turn your vision into reality.
-
Your leadership team will be more engaged and aligned as they work to a financial plan with an understanding of how they can improve profit and cash flow.

You will no longer be commercially lonely and have confidence around your numbers and the financial management of your business.​
Add Financial Leadership to Your Business
I have been helping business owners and their teams with financial leadership since 2006 and I am available to guide your business through a best practice financial management process aimed at ensuring your monthly numbers are right, and are presented right, so that you and your team can optimise right.
​
Understand the True Business Performance with Accurate Monthly Financials
After review I will provide feedback on the accuracy of your monthly financials and if required recommend appropriate accounting processes, procedures and controls to be implemented with your approval. Know the score with accurate monthly financials and don’t wait until the year is over to understand your true result.
​
Understand the Financial Story with Insightful Financial Reporting
I will also provide feedback on the structure of your accounts and quality of your financial reporting and if required recommend structural and reporting improvements to best present financial outcomes, insights and opportunities for improvement. Benefit from best practice financial reporting developed and refined over the past 20 years.
​
Work to a Financial Business Plan
Together with your leadership team I will create a financial business plan that will become our actionable roadmap to turn your vision into reality. During the process we will identify the critical success factors and build bridges between ambition and execution (focusing on the key assumptions that drive the financial outcomes and how we will measure actuals against targets).
​​​​
Connecting Profit to Cash Flow​​
Throughout the process I will remove the noise from the financial picture so that business leaders are focused on the key numbers under their control and provided with an understanding of the connection between profit and cash flow. I will facilitate discussion, coach financial leadership and solidify financial understanding to ensure our financial planning and execution focuses on both profit and cash flow.
​
If your business is lacking financial leadership and financial management is a struggle for you, I can solve that with you.

What Clients Say
"Matt was our consulting CFO at ANC for 12 years before handing over to a full-time CFO. During a stage of strategic acquisitions and rapid growth Matt helped us to evolve our finance team and management information systems. Matt was a trusted advisor who led our finance team and partnered with us at the highest level as part of our leadership team. Matt provided excellent visibility on the business and great decision support. We are well positioned for our next growth phase. I'd absolutely recommend Matt."
James Taylor, Director, ANC (Your Integrated Distribution Partner)
​
"Matt was referred to me at DCD Systems back in 2007, when the business had reached a stage where it required a higher level of financial expertise. Matt reengineered our management information systems, implemented best practice financial management, and drove improvements in our corporate governance processes. Over time Matt became my commercial co-pilot, someone who provided a second opinion, shared insights and ideas, helped ask the right questions, and highlighted risks. Ultimately, Matt helped prepare for the very successful sale of the business in 2013. I highly recommend Matt."
Dieter Monch, Managing Director, DCD Systems Pty Ltd (now JENOPTIK Australia Pty Ltd)
