Karen Ovens
QLD CFO
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.
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.
My focus is to help business owners understand how their business is performing and how they can improve its profitability and cash flow.
I have had extensive experience in the corporate world in senior finance roles prior to joining CFO On-Call. Since joining CFO on Call more than 10 years ago, I have worked with many SME businesses in a variety of businesses (including plumbing, freight transport, veterinary services, manufacturing, mechanical workshop, start-up mining, retail).
I enjoy gaining an understanding of a business and its needs, and providing services tailored to addressing its issues.
