I enjoy working with ‘open-minded’ business owners who are committed to growth and success.

My mission is to provide financial business management advice and ways to improve profitability, cash flow, operational efficiency, and business value and to achieve the growth and exit requirements of the business owner.

I was Chief Operating Officer for over 6 years for a large privately owned diversified group of companies. I was also a partner in the Corporate Finance Division of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu for 15 years, with 9 years as partner in charge, and was a Director of Deloitte Corporate Finance Pty Limited. I have had a broad range of corporate advisory, investigation and accounting experience, spanning a period of over 30 years with Deloitte and covering many areas of industry and commerce.

My mission is to provide flexible, innovative, client specific solutions that deliver customers outstanding profit, cash flow and balance sheet performance.

I have a strong background in business consulting and advisory services to a range of SMEs and startups since 2003.

Previously, I was Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary of The Environmental Group Ltd (ASX listed environmental services group) and have also been employed as interim Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary at Cytopia Ltd (ASX listed biotechnology company).

Numbers are key to business success.
* Cash – bring it in quickly and use it wisely.
* Reporting – timely and accurate focusing on what can be better… and what’s good.
* Simple processes for better control.

I’ve solved problems as a CFO and MD working across complex organisations. For SME owners it means freeing up time with confidence you have the right information on which to base decisions.

My industry experience has been in Life Sciences, Pharmaceuticals, Optical and FMCG encompassing manufacturing, service and distribution, HR and IT.

I’ve solved accounting, process, cash flow problems, found and implemented system improvements, headed system implementations, developed targets, budgets and refocused organisations. The results led to managing costs, improving processes, profit and cash flow. I’ve helped organisations achieve exceptional results.

My focus is to work with my operating partners to identify improvements that drive businesses forward. I enjoy finding areas of opportunity that will maximise business results and achieve desired business outcomes and objectives.

I have experience in all facets of business including manufacturing, operations, continuous improvement and marketing and sales. I have more than 20 years’ experience in a global commercial setting (including automotive) which allows me to bring forward extensive experience and real-world practical solutions to your business.

I have worked in Australia, Asia and China which could be useful for those wanting to tap into the Chinese market. After working in China for several years, I gained an intimate understanding of how to navigate that market.

My objective is to provide tools and advice a business owner needs to improve profitability, cash flow, operational efficiency, and business value to achieve growth.

I have extensive experience in financial management and control, business development, high quality communications and facilitating a motivated environment for success.

I have over 30 years’ experience in Financial Management, Controlling and other Executive Business Management roles including HR and IT.

I have an intimate knowledge of distribution retail and wholesale and a deep understanding of how to make workshops and manufacturing operate profitably. I am a hands-on leader with in depth understanding of how businesses function successfully, regardless of size.

If you want to grow your business but are struggling with profit and cash flow, have a desire to expand, knowing you need to fix these issues to enable growth, I can help.

Restructuring, developing a sustainable business growth strategy, due diligence and getting your business finances in order are my passions. I’ve worked with clients to get the basics right, for taking their business to the next level. Ensuring sales targets are clear and pricing of the product/service is right.

Understanding the true cost of a product/service, to ensure a good margin is vital. Managing costs and overheads keeps profits on track. Managing cash flow during the growth phase and beyond is vital if you want sustainable growth. Seeking growth funding requires understanding of how a business operates and its cash requirements, as well as creating confidence for a finance provider.

If you want to improve business operations, finance, profitability, and cash flow management, Lyn Mackenzie can help.

My background is in analysing business needs and providing practical, structured advice and delivering sustainable solutions for SMEs. My expertise is to understand and transform your business, making it profitable, helping you to grow the business and if you want, prepare the business for sale. I am an experienced, knowledgeable and astute adviser, skilled in all aspects of operations, finance and accounting.

I regularly uncover and help clients to avoid thousands of dollars in wasted money. All of which has a positive impact on profit, cash flow and business value.

I have extensive experience in financial and business management from various roles in the corporate sector, owning my own business, and helping small and medium size business in New Zealand, since 1987.

At the start of my career in one of the big 6 accounting firms, I gained good ground-level knowledge of practical accounting issues, and my roles since then in larger corporates and smaller privately-owned businesses, have given me a unique ability to see how a business can be improved, and finding the right solutions for the problems at hand.

I roll my sleeves up to find operational efficiencies, cost and job management improvements to create better profit, cashflow and business value for my clients.

The best way to describe myself is to tell you a story about a client…

I helped them to grow sales from $18m to $65m, driven by solid cashflow, receivables and inventory management and business process improvements. I was heavily involved with them to integrate new products and markets, retaining the initial value of the business culture.

We achieved growth with scalable processes for customer experience, sales pipeline management and business intelligence. We were able to automate previously manual processes, as such we were able to maintain admin staffing levels even as sales tripled!

The new admin process was so cleanly built that when the business was acquired, no items of concern were raised in ‘due diligence’ and this meant a very lucrative exit for shareholders.

This is the type of project I relish and I love to see clients achieve growth and greatly improved business value.

I’m an experienced management and commercial professional with a strong manufacturing and accounting background, adept at dealing with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

I have a strong strategic focus with a drive to ensure bottom line improvement is achieved. I pride myself on being a team player with a background in developing, influencing, and implementing business changes in both direction and focus of an operation or department.

I maintain a broad understanding of the essential drivers of a business to help determine the critical changes that may be necessary to enhance the future growth and direction of an organisation.

If you want to improve profit and cash flow in your business I can make it happen.

The financial side possibly isn’t where you want to spend your time, however the results of accurate measurement and ‘plain english’ explanation of what they mean, is vital to business survival and growth capacity. The ‘numbers’ in business aren’t just the results, they are the ‘non financial’ KPIs that DRIVE the results. I can help set them up, automate gathering of KPIs and work with you to manage them for improvement.

Streamlining systems and operations to achieve efficiency and better results are my passions. Once your business is systemised and profitable, focus can then shift to growth or eventual sale, achieving independence for you, the business owner.

For 23 years I’ve worked with business owners to achieve financial confidence and freedom. Being the ‘right hand financial man’ for my clients allows them to focus on what they do best…running their business and making good returns.

I would welcome the opportunity to learn about your business goals and help you and your team to achieve them.

Here is an example of a client that illustrates how I helped:
A consulting firm expanded from a $28 million company in Australia to a $300 million business spanning Asia Pacific.
