With over 20 year experience helping some of the largest and
renown companies in Australia and overseas improve the way
they manage their finances – from KPMG, Commonwealth Bank
and Qantas, to Leighton, SAB Miller, Jaguar Land Rover and
GlaxoSmithKline – Tim thrives in transforming the financial
function of a businesses.
With time, however, he realised that his real passion lied in
working with small businesses, assisting to establish financial
stability, and potential scale and growth. Covid further
solidified this direction as he realised so many small businesses
would not survive this pandemic. He encountered many that
were under immense financial pressure and stress and he strove
to assist as many as possible by accessing the government’s
economic stimulus for them. The relief on the faces of these
small business owners when he had helped them to stay afloat
and hopefully see the other side of the pandemic was something
he would never forget.
He also saw that many small businesses required help beyond
what traditionally a bookkeeper and an accountant would
offer – they wanted the knowledge (and some, the ongoing
support) to implement better financial habits and to have a
solid financial plan towards their business goals. Someone
that could work as an extension of their team, knowing the ins
and outs of the business and guiding them with a personalised
financial strategy.
So Tim’s mission with the ”The Numbers Guy” became very
clear – he looks to provide just that support. Ultimately, helping
small business owners get to sleep at night thinking about the
things that matter most in life.
