I help small counselling, mental health, community service and not-for-profit organisations clean up quality systems, prepare for audit or accreditation activity, and turn scattered documentation, reporting and improvement actions into practical, usable systems.
Many small service organisations grow faster than their systems. Policies become outdated, registers are inconsistent, improvement actions sit in different places, reporting does not clearly show progress or risk, and audit or accreditation preparation becomes stressful instead of manageable.
My work focuses on practical quality and readiness support, including:
• quality system reviews
• audit and accreditation readiness checks
• policy, procedure and SOP clean-up
• reporting and governance support
• risk, issue and action tracking
• continuous improvement registers
• process improvement and documentation
• project coordination for quality and service improvement work
I bring experience across quality, compliance, accreditation, governance, reporting, service improvement and project work in not-for-profit, mental health, community services, financial services, education and government-related environments.
My services include a fixed-scope Quality & Audit Readiness Health Check, a Quality Systems Clean-Up Sprint, and selective ongoing monthly quality and improvement support.
If your organisation has quality documents, reporting, registers or audit preparation work that needs to be made clearer, cleaner and more usable, I can help you identify the gaps, prioritise the work and create a practical way forward.

I build the financial systems, operations, and AI tooling that growing businesses run on — as a Virtual CFO, Virtual COO, and hands-on systems builder. Production systems, not prototypes. Practical strategy, not theory.
I run a regulated commercial finance practice in Australia. Every tool I sell here, I built for that practice first — under real compliance load, with real client files, against real time pressure. The MCP server, the AI agents, the document-generation skills, the data pipelines, the financial models — they were never proof of concepts. They were how I ran the business.
What that means for you: I don't need to be onboarded into "the finance domain," "the broker workflow," "what compliance actually looks like," or "how a small business really makes and spends money." I have lived all of it for eighteen years across Westpac, Citi, ADP, Vasco Pay (Novatti Group), and now my own practice — on the operator side, not just observing from the consultant's chair.
Most fractional CFOs and COOs hand you a spreadsheet and a recommendation. I hand you the recommendation and the system that runs it. That's the difference.
As your Virtual CFO:
Financial strategy, cashflow forecasting, budgeting, and financial modelling that a founder can actually read and trust. Serviceability and DSCR analysis, normalised EBITDA schedules, pricing and margin work, cost control, and lender-, investor-, or board-ready financial summaries — something I prepare as core work in commercial lending, not once a year. I bring structure, clarity, and foresight to the numbers, and I tell you what they actually mean for the decision in front of you.
As your Virtual COO:
I turn businesses that run on Excel, email, and tribal knowledge into businesses that run on systems. Operations and process design, 30/60/90 priorities, accountability, and the productising of recurring workflows so the business doesn't live in your head. Eighteen years including process and QA leadership (Telstra), payroll and operations (ADP), and root-cause work at Big Four banks — the bottleneck-finding muscle this kind of role runs on.
As your hands-on systems & AI builder (the part most CFOs/COOs can't do):
AI agents and Claude Skills for business workflows — shipped MCP servers, custom Claude Skills, RAG pipelines, and agent-based automations. If you have a high-volume manual task with rules behind it, I can probably ship the agent that does it.
Internal tools and rules engines — feasibility calculators, lifecycle cost models, financial decision engines, lender-selection logic. Built for reuse, with audit trails, so analytical work survives staff turnover.
Workflow automation and integrations — Cloudflare Workers, D1, scheduled triggers, API integrations, email triage, CRM sync. Systems that ingest unstructured data and emit structured, auditable outputs.
Market intelligence and property data — suburb-level analysis integrating public data (HTAG, ABS Census) into branded, investor-grade reports with return analysis.
How I work:
I am direct. I will tell you when an idea will not scale, when a workflow is fixable with rules before AI, and when the right answer is a one-page Excel sheet rather than a custom build — or a finance process tightened before any tool is bought. I write working software, I document what I ship, and I leave you with something you or your team can maintain after I am gone.
My background, briefly:
18 years in financial services — Big Four banking (Westpac, Citi), fintech and payments (Vasco Pay / Novatti Group as Senior Product Manager), payroll and operations (ADP, Telstra), and now founder of my own regulated practice (built from $10K to ~$200K in its first year). I hold a Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning, a Graduate Certificate in Financial Planning, Australian credit licensee status, and the ABFP (Accredited Behavioural Finance Professional) designation. I am currently completing the Certified Fund Manager designation.
If any of these sound like your problem, message me:
"We're flying blind on cashflow and need forecasting and reporting we can actually trust."
"Our operations run on me, Excel, email, and tribal knowledge — we need it productised."
"We want to use AI internally but everything we've tried is a demo, not a system."
"We need a financial model, feasibility study, or credit submission built right."
"Our team spends hours each week on a task an LLM agent could do reliably."
"We have data sitting in three systems and no one is making decisions with it."
"We need senior finance and operations leadership — but not a full-time hire."
I will be honest in scoping, realistic in timelines, and I will not sell you something you do not need.
Happy to discuss your business in a short call.
