Parker & Doan Advisory · Australia

Listed-company financial discipline Small-business scale

A two-partner advisory practice for Australian small businesses. The same statutory rigour, 3-way modelling and consolidation discipline that ASX-listed multinationals run on, brought down to a single client list.

The approach

The gap is visible

Most small businesses can’t afford a Group Financial Controller. They make do with a bookkeeper who handles data entry, plus an annual visit from an accountant who barely remembers the business by year-two.

What we help with

Three things
Done properly

We'd rather do a small number of things well than a long menu badly. If what you need isn't here, ask.

01Month-end that holds up

Bookkeeping, payroll, STP, BAS: closed to the same standard you'd sign off for an audit. Xero set up properly the first time, not patched together.

023-way cashflow that earns its name

P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow forecast in one connected model. Variance analysis, board-pack commentary, and the heads-up before something bites.

03Systems that scale with the business

Xero, MYOB, SAP, SAGE: migrated, consolidated, integrated. Multi-entity group consolidation if you grow into it.

Not every business needs all three. Most start with one.

How we work

A working relationship
Three steps

Clear scope. A fixed rhythm. The people you met at the beginning still in the room.

01

Intro call

30 minutes. You tell us what's going on. We tell you whether we're the right fit. Free, no follow-up unless you ask.

02

Scope & quote

Fixed monthly fee against a written scope. No surprise invoices, no hourly creep, no junior staff billed back to you.

03

Monthly rhythm

Books closed by the 10th. Monthly call by the 15th. Anything urgent in between gets a same-day reply during business hours.

Founders

The people stay
in the room

No associates, no offshore back office, no junior staff. The two of us, the people you'll work with.

ORDERFLOW

Finance that understands the floor

We also build software. Orderflow is the parts-desk operating system we built and run. It's how we learn what running a business actually looks like at the operating layer. That is why our advisory work doesn't sound like a textbook.
