For founder-led service businesses at $30K to $50K a month
In 6 weeks, make your business profitable: take control of your profit, your cash and your financial decisions. CFO-level financial control, without the cost of hiring a CFO.
You're billing $30K, $40K, $50K a month. On paper, the business works. But at the end of the month you're looking at the bank balance and wondering where it all went. It usually comes down to one of three things.
Revenue is up on last year. You still check the bank before you say yes to anything.
The work is done and the invoice has gone out. The money arrives whenever the client gets around to it.
Hire someone, lift prices, launch the new offer? You make the call on gut feel, because the numbers you have don't answer the question.
Why I built this
In 12 months, I took my own firm's profit from around $150K to $420K. Not revenue. Profit. I got much clearer on what my clients actually valued and moved them to higher-value packages. I built sales around referral partners instead of chasing leads. Then I went through every fixed cost, cut what wasn't earning its place, and restructured the team.
It worked, and it meant stepping back into the business as a practitioner for a while. That's the real trade-off most founders face, and it's exactly what we work through in the six weeks: what to fix first, and what it costs you in time.
I run an accounting and compliance firm, so I see the inside of service businesses every week. The founders who keep more aren't working harder. They know their numbers and they act on them. This program teaches you to do exactly that, on your own numbers, in six weeks.

Results from my CFO and advisory work
The same work you'll do in the six weeks, done with businesses I've advised.
$750K to $1.5M
We reviewed each service line and found where the margin really was. They moved from software project development into offshore VA services, implemented it, and doubled the business.
Technology services business
$50K loss to break-even
Once they understood their numbers, they could see exactly which work was costing them money and what they weren't on-charging. Recovering those costs took them from losing around $50K a year to breaking even.
Service business
[Result] in 18 months
Performance grew over 18 months by building a business development function that brought in the right work consistently.
Financial services business
The six weeks
One live session a week, in three stages. Each week you work on your own numbers and leave with something finished.
Profit Architecture
Know what you make
Week 1
What each service, client and hour actually makes you once every cost is counted.
You leave with: Your Margin Clarity Map: profit by service and client
Week 2
Find where margin is slipping out, from underpricing and scope creep to costs nobody has looked at in a year.
You leave with: Your Profit Leak Audit, with a dollar value on each leak
Delivery Architecture
Know what you keep
Week 3
Tighten your terms, invoicing and follow-up so cash lands when the work is done, not months later.
You leave with: New payment terms, invoice timing and a follow-up routine
Week 4
See your cash weeks ahead, instead of reacting to whatever the bank balance says today.
You leave with: A cash forecast for the weeks ahead
Leadership Architecture
Know what to do next
Week 5
The few numbers worth watching every week, and the ones you can stop worrying about.
You leave with: Your weekly scorecard: the handful of numbers to watch
Week 6
Use your own numbers to make the calls on hiring, pricing and growth, the way a CFO would.
You leave with: A decision check for your next hire, price change or growth move
What's included
Every week comes with a spreadsheet workbook I've built. In the session I show you the technique, the same way I'd work through it as your CFO. You put in your own data, and the workbook does the heavy lifting.
By the end you don't just have answers for this year. You have the tools, and you know how to use them, so you can keep running the numbers yourself.
Also included: 6 live 90-minute sessions, a room of 8 founders, and the two-week guarantee.

Where you'll be after six weeks
From making money and wondering where it all goes, to knowing exactly what you make, what you keep, where your cash is going and which financial decisions to make next.
Is this for you?
Eight seats means I'm choosy about fit. Here's who gets the most out of the six weeks.
Want to step back from the client work eventually? Week 6 maps out what it would take: the margin, the cash and the hire you'd need, so you can plan it on real numbers.
Your options
Most founders at this stage weigh up the same four options. Here's how they compare.
| Compared on | This cohort | Hiring a CFO | Your accountant | An online course |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | $1,500, once | A senior salary, or an ongoing monthly fee for a part-time CFO | Billed for the work they do | Lower upfront |
| Works on your own numbers | Yes, live, every session | Yes | Yes, for tax and compliance | No, generic examples |
| You learn to do it yourself | Yes. You leave able to run it | No. They do it for you | Rarely the focus | In theory, on your own |
| Profit, cash and decisions | All three, in six weeks | All three | Mostly tax, compliance and reporting | Depends on the course |
| Questions answered | Every week, in a room of eight | Yes | When you book time | Rarely |
| Time to results | Six weeks, with a fixed end date | Ongoing | Ongoing | Self-paced, easy to stall |

Not sure it's right for you? Book 15 minutes with me and we'll check it fits your business before you pay.
Book a 15-minute callMy guarantee
Try the program for the first two weeks. If you don't feel you're gaining the financial control you came for, I'll buy it back from you. You get back everything you've paid and owe nothing more. No hard feelings.
Pick the one where you can make all six Tuesdays at 11am AEST. Every cohort covers the same program. If a cohort fills, you can still take a seat in the next one.
Login access to your Xero or MYOB file, and enough familiarity to get around it. You don't need to know how to pull reports. I'll show you how in the session.
[Your answer: e.g. QuickBooks, or a bookkeeper who holds the login.]
No. I've built the workbooks. You fill them in with your own numbers, and we use AI to help with the heavy lifting.
[Your answer: are sessions recorded?]
[Your answer. Suggested: No. Most founders' books aren't perfect, and we work with what's there. If your file is several months behind, get the bank reconciled before Week 1.]
This isn't coaching or motivation. It's six working sessions with a CFO, on your own numbers, and each week you leave with something finished. If it isn't working for you after two sessions, the guarantee means you get your money back.
The live session is 90 minutes on Tuesday. [Plus about X minutes on the workbook between sessions.]
Yes. Book a 15-minute call and we'll check the program fits your business before you pay.
Come to the first two sessions. If you don't feel you're gaining the financial control you came for, tell me and you get back everything you've paid. On the payment plan, the remaining payments are cancelled.
Paying in full is $1,500. Spreading it over six weekly payments of $300 comes to $1,800. Both get you exactly the same program.
[Your answer.]
CFO-level financial control, without the cost of hiring a CFO. Eight seats per cohort.
