The expertise you need, for a fraction of the cost.
OUTSOURCE YOUR CFO
Systemise, Structure and Scale Your Business
Business owners are experts at developing ideas they can sell, but don’t always have the financial expertise to systemise, structure and scale a business.
With a lot on their plate and resources sometimes stretched, staff headaches, avoidable cashflow challenges and missing out on key growth opportunities can result.
As business owners, a lot is coming at you every day. An experienced Chief Financial Officer (CFO) can help navigate the information overload leading to better decisions, fewer headaches and more growth.
Is this you?
- Staff headaches?
- Cashflow challenges?
- No experienced ‘sounding board’ to discuss key decisions with?
If you answered ‘YES’ to any of these, we can help you work out what’s happening, why it’s happening…and what to do about it.

Testimonials
Our business of supplying Electric Vehicle Chargers has been growing rapidly and we were experiencing growing pains with cash pressures and processes not developing at the required rate to support the business. We engaged the outsourced CFO to assist and guide us.
Brian came into the business and was able to assist in navigating our way through this growth phase. We immediately improved the way we ran our Inventory system and were able to get a better feel for Cost of Goods, Profitability and have more confidence about our cash management. In the process we have built a strong finance team headed by a full time Financial Controller under Brian’s guidance. We are very grateful to Brian and his team for their assistance in getting us thought this stage and enabling us to effectively scale the business to meet the market demand.

Co-Founder & General Manager - EVSE Australia
Brian from the outsourced CFO was recommended to us to assist with the closure of a remote business operation following a Board decision to exit that business.
This was a small business within a large multinational and we were in need of someone who could oversee a finance small team, understand the detailed reporting requirements of a multinational as well as lead a project to wind the business operation down which impacted customers, contracts and people. It was difficult to find someone internally as they were already committed to other projects and this project required a specific focus for a defined amount of time.
Brian from the outsourced CFO was able to come into the business and take charge of the project with immediate impact. His background in a large Public Company meant he could gain respect of the finance team and understand the reporting requirements for a large multinational. He was able to form key relationships with key stakeholders based overseas and appreciated the sensitivity of some of the difficult decisions that had to be made along the way.
Brian was successful in delivering the outcome required. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brian and the services of the outsourced CFO service to any business.
Alfa Laval
a billion dollar global business
We are a Medical Practice and Day Hospital based in Cairns Qld and were looking to strengthen our finance function and came across the outsourced CFO via the internet. We met with Brian and he impressed us with his experience working in larger businesses and how his experience could be leveraged into a smaller business. As we had big growth plans, it was important that we think like a large business when it comes to financial information and business processes.
Since engaging the outsourced CFO, we have grown in many ways including the introduction of monthly Board Meetings, formal Board papers and more recently a Finance committee to which Brian has made a valued contribution. The outsourced CFO has been part of that growth process, assists with all financial decisions provides financial leadership to our finance team. He has visited Cairns but works remotely which has been very effective. We would have no hesitation in recommending the outsourced CFO to any small business looking to bring in these higher level financial management skills on a part time basis.

CEO – Integrated Medical Services
Brian was introduced to our business as we were looking to improve our Management Reporting, a lack of clarity around the financial performance of the business and cash management.
Whilst the initial decision was difficult, we have never looked back since. Brian now takes a financial leadership role within the business. He is part of our Advisory Board, our Executive Management team and provides support to all staff on any financial matters, including mentoring and leading our small finance function.
In our meetings we now have financials which not only provide a clear picture of past results but also look forward. We now have key metrics which the business uses to monitor performance and a much tighter control over cash. Furthermore, Brian is always a good sounding board for any issues that exist within the business.

Managing Director - Craig & Rhodes
We are a software company who had commenced business recently when we came to The outsourced CFO. The owners had built successful businesses in the past and were aware of the need for financial diligence from the get go. We discovered the outsourced CFO on line and got in touch with Brian.
Since coming on board, we have set up monthly review meetings where we go through a reporting pack that Brian prepares under a tight timeline working closely with our admin staff. With our expansion into UK and US markets, the monthly meetings have become a focal point for our Management Team in all locations to get together and review our performance with the proper financial data. Brian’s input is highly valued.
As a business, we are on a trajectory where one day we will require a full time CFO resource. However in the interim we are receiving all the same benefits from the outsourced CFO as the business grows. The outsourced CFO provides an excellent, cost effective solution for any business of our size and stage of growth.

Director, MatrixIDM
I came into contact with Brian through my business network and was not aware of anyone currently offering the type of service that he does. I had never felt in control of my financials so I thought I would give it a go.
Brian reviewed how my reporting was set up and my processes and I now feel that I am in control. We have a monthly meeting to go through my business performance and he even provides me with forecasts which I find very useful and informative. I have been able to make some key decisions as a result of our discussions and as a result my business is in a better place.
