ABOUT ME
Michael Harris
Founder & Principal Consultant
A finance professional with more than 25 years of real-world experience
Running a successful business requires more than accurate financial statements—it requires timely information, practical advice and the confidence to make informed decisions.
I'm a finance professional with more than 25 years' experience helping small and medium-sized businesses improve profitability, strengthen cashflow and make better commercial decisions. My career spans over 10 years in public practice, followed by more than 15 years in senior finance and commercial leadership roles across a diverse range of industries.
Unlike many advisers, I've worked on both sides of the desk. I've not only advised business owners—I have also been involved in business ownership myself. That experience has given me a genuine appreciation of the challenges that business owners face every day, from managing cashflow and controlling costs to leading teams, funding growth and making difficult commercial decisions.
Throughout my career, I've worked across mining services, transport, construction, marine, hospitality and export industries, providing financial leadership in businesses of varying sizes and complexity. My experience extends well beyond traditional accounting and includes strategic planning, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, business performance analysis, commercial management and organisational improvement.
I believe financial information should be practical, relevant and easy to understand. Too often, business owners receive reports that explain what happened last month but provide little guidance on what they should do next. My focus is on turning financial information into meaningful insights that help business owners improve profitability, manage cash flow and confidently plan for the future.
Whether you need reliable bookkeeping, temporary accounting support, assistance with budgeting and forecasting, or the strategic guidance of a Virtual CFO, I work alongside you as a trusted business partner, providing practical advice tailored to your business and your goals.
My objective is simple—to help business owners better understand their numbers, make informed decisions and build stronger, more profitable businesses.
