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.

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 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 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.

My passion is helping business owners and executives plan for the future through the delivery of value added reports, forecasts and specific insights which tell a clear story about their business and drive real actual and immediate results.

I thrive on providing timely, accurate and easy to understand information upon which businesses can base solid decisions and improve profitability.

My specialties include analysing and explaining your business’ performance in simple terms and finding the key areas for cash flow and profit improvement. I’m also adept at streamlining business strategies end to end for the best outcome.

I consider myself a lateral thinker, capable of looking at your business from angles you may not have considered before and helping you to understand quick wins and where more strategic improvements can be made. I have strong experience across many areas of the business, partnering to achieve massive savings in warehouse and distribution costs, manufacturing costs, Finance and accounting costs, banking, Foreign Exchange and Human resources.

If you want to realise your business potential and exceed your expectations, I can help you make it happen!

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.

This was driven by solid cashflow management, business process improvements and people management across many cultures. I was heavily involved with them to acquire new businesses, establish new offices and implementing country teams with local Profit &Loss responsibility.

I drove the implementation of scalable processes for labour charging and effectiveness, sales pipeline management and business intelligence throughout the region. This kept admin costs and staffing levels flat, as sales and profits grew exponentially!

I have over 20 years’ experience partnering with Owners, CEOs and MDs to lead organisations through transformation and high growth. From a small wholesale distributor through to regional CFO for Nestle looking after 15 countries and 20 manufacturing facilities. I have driven International expansion, turned around distressed companies and led a listing to the ASX. I have deep expertise in designing and implementing comprehensive business strategies for growth and turn-around, and personally led teams of over 100.

I love to see clients exceed their growth ambitions, greatly improve their business value and their lifestyle! I enjoy inspiring people to think differently, nurturing them, challenging them, understanding their fears, and giving them the confidence to step forward and be superstars!
