Question 1

What happens in the free consultation?

Accepted Answer

A 30-minute conversation about where your transport business is now and where you want it to be. No obligation, no jargon, and you'll leave with at least one actionable insight.

Question 2

Which industries do you specialise in?

Accepted Answer

Australian road freight — owner-drivers, metro delivery fleets and line-haul operators across Sydney, NSW, Queensland and Victoria.

Question 3

Do I need to switch accountants to work with you?

Accepted Answer

Not for advisory, Virtual CFO or advisory board work — we happily work alongside your existing accountant. For compliance work, we make the switch painless and handle the ATO paperwork.

Question 4

How do we get started?

Accepted Answer

Three simple steps: book a free 30-minute discovery call, complete a financial health assessment, then your engagement begins with weekly cash monitoring.

Question 5

What's the difference between Business Advisory and Virtual CFO?

Accepted Answer

Advisory gives you strategic guidance on demand. Virtual CFO adds a monthly financial leadership cadence: management reports, forecasts and board-ready numbers — CFO-grade, without the full-time hire.

Question 6

Can you just do my tax return and BAS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Business Compliance covers bookkeeping, BAS, tax returns, corporate secretarial and financial statements — plus proactive NHVR, WorkCover and payroll compliance for transport operators.

Question 7

How is a Virtual CFO different from my accountant?

Accepted Answer

Your accountant keeps you compliant with tax obligations and historical reporting. Your Virtual CFO looks forward — cash-flow management, lane profitability, strategic planning and early warning signals — so you stay cash-stable and make growth decisions with confidence.

Question 8

What exactly is a 'digital twin' of my business?

Accepted Answer

A living financial model built from your real numbers — lane profitability, cost-per-km, fuel, fleet utilisation, cash runway. We use it to test decisions before you make them: a new truck, a new lane, a rate change, a fuel spike.

Question 9

Is the online simulator the same as the client twin?

Accepted Answer

The simulator is a simplified public version. Client twins are built on your actual data and maintained monthly.

Question 10

Are the Health Score tools really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. They take about five minutes and give you an honest benchmark. We'll only follow up if you ask us to.

Question 11

How much do your services cost?

Accepted Answer

Fixed-fee or monthly pricing agreed up front, after a free consultation. No hidden fees, no hourly surprise bills.

Question 12

How much does a Virtual CFO cost?

Accepted Answer

Virtual CFO engagements typically range from $2,000 to $10,000 per month depending on service level and complexity — agreed up front, so there are never surprise bills.

Question 13

Am I locked into a long contract?

Accepted Answer

No. After an initial engagement period we typically work month-to-month. The relationship works best when it's ongoing, but you're never locked into a multi-year contract.
