Our Clients

We started our business ‘Veterinary Dermatology Specialists’ in 2020 just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. As veterinarians our main objective was to provide excellent healthcare outcomes to our patients and advice to pet-owners. When it came to understanding our business finances we knew we needed some expert advice. It is fair to say that prior to engaging with Lianne’s services, our understanding of the financial aspects of our business was limited. Since our initial meeting with Lianne she has provided patient guidance and clear explanations to demystify complex financial concepts and equipped us with the knowledge and confidence to navigate our business's fiscal landscape effectively.

Lianne’s expertise in financial modelling was instrumental in crafting a comprehensive plan for our business, guiding us to pinpoint areas where additional time and resources could be strategically invested for maximum impact. Using Lianne’s modelling we were able to determine that hiring additional nurses and veterinarians was not only financially feasible but was necessary to continue our growth trajectory.

Lianne’s meticulous construction of several tailored financial models for our business has provided a roadmap for optimal resource allocation, guiding us to invest time and resources strategically for sustainable growth. Lianne’s commitment to excellence and personalised approach has positioned her as a trusted partner in our financial journey.

We are immensely grateful for Lianne’s expertise and dedication in bridging the gap between our aspirations and financial realities. We wholeheartedly endorse Lianne to any organisation seeking to enhance their financial acumen and drive tangible results.

MSM Milling lacked seniority and trust within their Finance team. They were needing a finance professional to come in and settle the current finance team and tighten up processes. Management wanted to feel a lot more trust about the reporting that they were seeing. They were also recruiting for a full time CFO position and were finding the recruitment process lengthy and frustrating.

CFO On Call was contracted to provide an Interim CFO role service, this allowed MSM Milling to take their time to recruit for a full time CFO.

Andrew Free from CFO On Call was appointed to the Interim role, he quickly and efficiently tightened up processes while settling and directing the team with his calm nature. Tim Churcher CEO explained that Andrew has been an absolute pleasure to deal with and 9 months later, Tim felt complete trust in his Financial team going forward. Having Andrew gave him time to research and appoint a full time CFO into the Finance team.

I've been working with Michael Granek from CFO On Call for a couple of years now and I can't speak highly enough of his knowledge and expertise especially in regards to budgeting and cashflow. He has helped our business enormously.

Since we have had our CFO (Matt) involved in our business, our monthly forecasting & Annual budgets are believable. We also have monthly summaries so we can pick up on anything that needs attention quickly. Our business is more profitable now, we focus on achieving our targets. regards S.B

The concept is great, I’d highly recommend it, we're getting terrific information on our numbers and I don't have the other costs associated with employing someone. Even though he is part time, there was rarely a time that you would call Michael and he wouldn’t pick up – and even when he didn’t, you’d hear back from him inside half an hour.

I can’t speak highly enough of John and CFO On-Call. I would recommend them to any business owner because we don’t know about this stuff. We don’t have the time to do an accounting degree, but we need someone to guide us. I’m now living the dream - running the business remotely! The internet has freed me up to work remotely. Everything is in the cloud now and CFO On-Call plays a big part as my Virtual CFO!

Before engaging CFO On-Call, the bank wouldn’t support me, so debtor financing was my only option. CFO On-Call set up our new management reporting and forecasting, and the bank changed their mind. Since then, we have grown total revenue by 17%, increased gross margins from 17% to 37% and improved debtor days by 36%. We’re going from strength to strength!

When we first started working with our CFO On-Call, he really took the time to get a good understanding of the business. He has been able to bring more to the way we work. He is highly skilled. knows the key numbers to measure and creates systems to easily track these numbers. He has been a great asset across the financial department. I recommend the skillset and advice.

CFO On-Call and I have worked together for the last two years on the financial aspects of my business Fiedler Brothers Plumbing. His in-depth knowledge and diverse capability has transformed the way I look at and report on the financial aspects of my business. In conjunction with others he has helped me to really take things to the next level with FBP. There is no way we could have become a $3 million-dollar company without his help and guidance.

Our CFO On-Call gave me the confidence to grow this business beyond being an icemaker. I have lots of ideas on business direction and his input is great. He understands the ins and outs of the business as well as I do, helps with the planning, and ensures cost effectiveness. He’s a valuable asset for us!

We now have the useful financial information we need to make informed financial and business decisions at the right time. His input has led to a 27% improvement in profitability.

When CFO On-Call was recommended to us, we were sceptical and took a while to act as it was a new space for us to have a contract CFO remote to our business. The engagement costs are totally governed by what you need and how much reporting you decide on, all I can say is you won't feel anything other than a sense of strong value and financial control. He is a gentleman to deal with.
