Have you ever wanted to know the key areas that CFOs look at in business to support them in building profitable, sustainable and thriving businesses?
- One that as a business owner you could enjoy running
- Say bye bye to stress and sleepless nights
- And worrying about your financials
What if you had an easily digestible, simple-to-follow program which taught you exactly what to focus on in your numbers
Honed by years of CFO experience with small businesses
What would that feel like?
I WANT THATFor most business owners gaining financial clarity can feel like an impossible task
(or an unimportant one, I mean you have an accountant or bookkeeper for that… right?)
You started your business because you saw an opportunity to solve a problem, create a solution, or fix something that no one else was fixing.
But the more your business has grown the harder it’s become to keep track of your financial information and the harder it has felt to get on top of it, or feel like you could ever understand it.
Your financials seem to focus on the past when you want to focus on the future.
There are critical business issues you need to concentrate on and upskilling yourself in your numbers seems to keep falling to the bottom of your to-do list.
But you’ve got a niggling feeling that your financials need more of your attention.
And I get why it’s hard
- Financial jargon is thrown around like candy
- You’ve been given conflicting advice - everyone has an opinion!
- Your accountant doesn’t seem to be available to help
- You don’t have enough time
- And you just don’t know where to start

Michelle has been an amazing sounding board and support person during the tough moments that come with being a small business owner. While we mainly focus on the financials, Michelle has taught me to celebrate the small wins and is always there to workshop other aspects of the business and introduce me to various contacts in her network that she believes will be able to provide some extra guidance."

I founded Lantern Partners, a CFO advisory firm, over a decade ago to help founder run businesses grow scalable sustainable businesses and I’ve spent most of my career partnering with business owners to help them:
- Clearly see the story of their business in their numbers
- Demystify “finance speak” by breaking down all the key concepts into plain english
- Show them exactly how to identify the key areas in their business to focus on to achieve their business goals
- Gain confidence around their financials
- Thrive in business by aligning their business goals to what they want most of out life.
The businesses I’ve worked with at Lantern Partners have successfully expanded overseas, sold their businesses and achieved more than they ever thought possible.
But most importantly have done this without losing their sanity or losing sight of what’s truly important to them.
Now i’m spilling all the secrets gained over the years to give you the clarity you need around your financials.
