I know what it feels like to not trust your own numbers. I've built my career on making sure you never have to feel that way again.

You've built something real. Good revenue, a team who show up, clients who come back. But somewhere underneath all of that, the numbers stop making sense, and no one around you seems able to explain why.

That's not a you problem. It's the point almost every business owner reaches once they've outgrown a basic bookkeeping setup but aren't ready for a full-time CFO. I built my business to sit in exactly that gap.

Why I do this work

I've been a Chartered Accountant for over 30 years, and for a lot of that time, I looked like I had it all together. Professional. Composed. On top of my numbers.

I didn't. I've run businesses through genuine cash flow crises, including one where I bought into a firm without digging deep enough into the detail, and spent years working my way back out of the hole that decision created. I know what it's like to avoid opening the reports because you're scared of what they'll say. I know what it's like to make a big decision and only find out the financial impact months later.

What changed everything for me wasn't more effort. It was finally sitting down with the numbers, understanding what they were actually telling me, and using that to make calmer, better decisions. That's the shift I now help other business owners make, without the years it took me to figure it out the hard way.

What I actually do

I'm not your bookkeeper and I'm not your tax accountant. Both of those roles matter, but neither is set up to sit alongside you and help you understand what your numbers mean or what to do next. That's the gap I fill.

Every engagement I run works through the same three stages, my Vistaryn Clarity Method:

Diagnose

We get a clear, accurate picture of what's actually happening in your business, not a broad summary that tells you nothing useful.

Detect

We build real visibility over your cash flow, so BAS, super, wages and supplier payments stop feeling like surprises.

Develop

I help you build the financial insight to act with confidence, backed by the right ongoing support, so every pricing, hiring and growth decision is tested against real numbers.

Who I work with

I work with owners of $3M–$8M businesses across construction, trades, franchises, manufacturing, hospitality, retail, fitness, automotive, farming and professional services. You've usually been in business for a few years, you're profitable, and you've got a team of 10 to 100 people relying on you to lead well.

You don't need a full-time CFO on the payroll. You need someone who will tell you the truth about your numbers and help you use them.

A bit of the credibility stuff

I'm a Chartered Accountant (CA ANZ) with over 30 years in accounting, finance and business advisory, and I've worked directly with more than 1,000 business owners across Australia. I'm the author of four business finance books, including Unscramble Your Numbers and Strangled By The Numbers, a PaySauce Ambassador, and I speak at industry events on financial clarity and cash flow. I've picked up a handful of industry awards along the way, but the thing I care about most is still the same one that got me into this work in the first place: helping business owners stop fearing their numbers and start using them.

I'm based in Brisbane and work with clients Australia-wide, primarily remotely.
