The Cash Flow Queen

When I meet someone for the first time I like to get to know a little bit about them: if they’re a business owner, I want to understand why they got into their business – what they enjoy most about it, the types of clients they like to work with and, most importantly, where they want their business to be in the coming years.

Given that I like to dig deep and explore my clients’ motivations and aspirations, I figure it is only fair to share a little background about who I am and why I am known as the person who can ‘Unscramble your Numbers’.

I’ve always been a numbers person. Even at school, my favourite subject was maths. Looking back, it feels as though I was predestined to work with numbers, and as though the pathway to my current business had been well laid out for me.

Along with a passion for numbers, I have a keen interest in business as a whole.

My insatiable curiosity and desire to learn has led me to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on business courses and seminars. I am strongly influenced by many of these, particularly Key Person of Influence Brand Accelerator and Business Blueprint. You name it, I’ve probably read about it, studied it, or implemented it within my own business.

I value mentors and have sought out and engaged the mentorship of some of the best business minds in Australia and overseas. My strong desire to add value fuels my urgency to pass on my knowledge to others.

On a more personal note, I consider myself lucky to have grown up in two places: Australia and Canada. While Australia is home, I consider Canada my second home. I love to travel back to Canada and also to explore the world. There is something about travelling that frees the spirit and opens the mind to new ideas. In my downtime, I’m a voracious reader. Good fiction, business books and Canadian history are my “go-to” genres. I love to cross stitch (you’d think I have enough of counting in my “day job”); I find the repetition soothing, and creating something with my own hands is highly rewarding. White Christmases, snowy winters and baking top out my list of favourite things.

 Under the guidance of one of Australia’s most prolific business authors, Andrew Griffiths, I’ve written not one but four books about cash flow management and business finances.

I’d encourage you, as a business owner, to start by reading “Unscramble Your Numbers”. It’s a no-nonsense guide that will give you the framework I use with my clients for making the complex simple, and getting on top of the information and tasks needed to make your business thrive.

Another thing you should know about me… I love technology.

I’ve been adopting and adapting systems for my clients and my businesses for as long as I can remember. From Lotus 123 spreadsheets through to modern day cloud computing, and I could go on and on about what a total Xero geek I am. Anything that is going to save me (and my clients) time and help generate cash flow, I’m all for it.

I believe that all businesses must be sustainable. Sustainable in two ways. Firstly, they must be sustainable financially. That is, they must have good cash flow management, be making a profit and have money in the bank. Secondly, they must be sustainable for the planet as much as possiible - reuse, recycle, repair and repurpose. 

I am on a mission to create sustainable businesses using the Profitable Business FrameworkTM and I would love to help you create your sustainable business. I look forward to working with you.
