The Control Room
Build a Business That Really Pays You.
For founders who’ve outgrown “winging it.” The control room is a 1 day intensive, peer-driven workshop with 12 weeks of integration support that finally gives you clarity, cashflow and control — without the overwhelm of doing it alone or drowning in spreadsheets & accountsy speak.
You’re crushing it. The team’s growing. Revenue’s up. You’ve got an accountant, a bookkeeper — boxes are being ticked.
And deep down…
You know something’s missing.
And deep down…
You know something’s missing.
You’re busy. Making money. But shouldn’t there be more of it?
You’re checking your P&L, sometimes, but does that cut it? It could be better right?
Your cashflow’s a rollercoaster, and exit planning is a “future you problem.” Something else is on fire right now, so that ‘budget’ (death by spreadsheet) will have to wait… again…
You’re heading for the blindside…
The massive financial gap between where you are now, and what you know is possible for your business. Surprise Tax Bills. Fines and Penalties for things you didn’t know you didn’t know. And there’s tax on how much profit exactly? That cash certainly isn’t in the bank….
You’re not alone.
Most small business owners are stuck here — building revenue but not wealth, burning money on accounting to keep the tax man happy, instead of investing in your dreams, and experiencing real freedom.

The Control Room is your pathway to better financial outcomes.
Get Real Money From Your Business.
The Control Room (TCR) is the clarity you didn’t know you needed. The real story. The best strategy. The right tactics. Financial control, cash clarity, and a rock-solid framework for your saleable, appreciating business asset
— not just the job (and/or the headache) you happen to own.
You’ll join a small group of smart, ambitious, value aligned business owners (10 max) in a, high-trust environment where real conversations happen. This isn’t a lecture series — it’s a fast pace, high energy, transformation journey.
We work as a team. We challenge each other. We share, we ask, and we grow together. Everyone brings something to the table, and everyone leaves with more than the sum of the parts.

The Journey
1 - Deep Dive & Course Correction
Know what it is, why it matters, and how to spot bullshit in your story, your team, your operation… and how to get it right. This is about knowing, really knowing, where you are now, and where you want to be. How to manage your financial outcomes, your finance team (even if it's a team of 'you') and max your return on investment in.. well, your business, but especially in finance.
2 - Profit & Payroll
Build Minimum Viable Profit Models. Assess profitability without your accountant sugarcoating the truth or confusing it with the truth about tax. Work out who you’re paying, for what, and why. Understand your 3-6 essential metrics, and start getting eyes on them in real time. Reduce operating risks and start building momentum; this is where the rubber hits the road.
3 - Cashflow & Clarity
Budgets are Bullshit – we won’t be doing that! (yay!!) Get off the feast-famine cycle. Understand cashflow foundations and use your MVP models to see what's happening, understand the ‘what ifs’ and start de-risking opportunities and decisions.
4 - Complete Control & Leadership
Turn your business into a profit-generating, cash-positive, wealth-building asset — one worth selling. Get your dashboards in place, manage traffic light style, super efficient but supremely effective. Now we’re building BAU, we’re building profit and cash flow into every aspect of every day. You’ll be powerful, energised, unstoppable.
You’ll transform your business journey with:
Confidence. Control. And more cash in your pocket.
Absolute Visibility over your business as it really is, right now. No fluff, no filters
Management and control frameworks to lead and manage your finance function
Tips, Tricks, Hacks, Apps, Automations, Configurations and a trusted source of support, acceptance, feedback and solutions to move your business journey forward.
From CashNo to Cashflow
From keeping the ATO happy to profit in your pocket
From guessing… to building a business worth buying

This Is not For Everyone
This is not a silver bullet or a magic formula.
If you’re not ready to roll up your sleeves, embrace responsibility, be vulnerable, and genuinely share and contribute, this isn’t for you.
It takes openness. A willingness to hear and be heard.
And the guts to own your role in every pillar of your business — and make changes when it counts.
We work with business owners who want to build wealth, not just revenue.
People ready to shift from being the passenger to taking the wheel. The top 1%. The best of the best. (If you’ve just wondered whether you’re going to Mirimax, you’re automatically accepted 😏)
If you’re chasing shortcuts, free money, or some miracle to make bookkeeping fun or employment law make sense — move along.

Spots are limited. Cohorts are tight. Results are real.
This is deep work, and the ROI is insane — if you show up.
