Results that compound over time
Every business John works with started small. What they share is not a quick win. It is years of steady growth with the same experienced hand alongside them. Three examples, told without names to protect their privacy.
A family business, two generations
John began working with the founders of a Western Australian business more than twenty years ago, when it was turning over around $500,000. Together they grew it past $10 million. When the founders were ready to retire, John organised and facilitated the handover to one of their children, who runs it today, with a general manager and a full management team John still works alongside. Twenty years, two generations, still together.
From a single owner to an international business
A Perth online retail business came to John turning over about $1 million, run by its founder with a handful of staff. Over nine years it has grown past $25 million, now trading across several countries with a chief executive and chief financial officer running the day to day. The founder still leads it from Perth. John remains on the advisory team.
From on the tools to running the business
When John met the owner of a Perth trades and services business seven or eight years ago, he was turning over around $500,000 and doing much of the work himself. Today the business turns over around $15 million. The owner has stepped up from working in the business to working on it, with a general manager, a part-time chief financial officer, and a partner brought through from his own team to help lead it.
The pattern is the same each time. A small start, tens of millions in turnover, and a working relationship measured in years, not months.
Would you rather hear it from a client?
John does not publish client names or testimonials. His clients' privacy comes first. But if you are seriously considering working together, he will arrange for you to speak, in confidence, with a business owner he works with. Ask them anything. It is the most honest reference there is.
Start a conversationSupport across every area of your business
With 30 years of experience across all functional areas of business, John provides direct advice and hands-on support. Not theory. Not a framework. Not a consultant who asks the questions and hands you the answers to figure out yourself.
Planning
Setting clear goals for the next 12 months: the right targets, the right milestones, and the discipline to follow through.
Governance
Corporate structure, compliance, shareholder agreements, and making sure you are operating correctly under state and federal law.
Sales & marketing
Building a repeatable pipeline of the right clients at the right margin. Online, direct, and business-to-business.
Finance & accounting
Understanding your numbers: margins, cash flow, budgeting, and the things your accountant does not always have time to explain.
Human resources
Recruiting, managing, and retaining the right people. Performance management and leadership without the Fair Work headaches.
Operations & systems
Building the systems and processes that let your business run properly. Less firefighting, more building.
Negotiations
Preparing for and conducting negotiations with suppliers, landlords, buyers, and partners. Walk in ready, walk out with terms that work.
Contracts & agreements
Reviewing the agreements that protect your business and briefing your lawyer properly: employment contracts, leases, shareholder agreements, heads of agreement.
Simple, predictable fees
Fees are based on a flat monthly retainer. There are no additional charges for calls, emails, or conversations between sessions. That is part of working together. The right structure for your business is something we discuss in the first meeting.
