Connect the Dots from Driver to Success

Build accurate, responsive forecasts using key business drivers

It’s easy to build forecasts based on key business drivers if you know how.

We help you to choose the inputs that drive your business activity – from price and quantity, through to billable hours, head-count or even days worked. We then use these drivers as the building blocks to forecast revenue, costs and the success of your business.

Prices change? More staff to hire? Updating your business drivers is simple and any changes we make automatically flow through to your forecasts and scenarios. Best of all there’s no need for spreadsheets!

Understanding the key drivers of your business helps you to have a greater awareness of business activity and to be able to forecast more accurately. Our challenge to business owners is to own the forecasting process, to work alongside your accountant and business advisers on the journey and have regular discussions.

The Driver-Based approach

We make it easy to create and update drivers to improve your forecasting efforts:

  1. The first step is to determine the key business drivers. What are the key variables that drive revenue, costs and the success of your business? Importantly, should these drivers play a key part in your forecasts?
  2. Once you’ve decided on your drivers relevant to your business, we build out your forecast or scenarios.
  3. Monitor and update drivers as required so you and we can understand the impact on profitability and cash flow for insightful and relevant decision making.

Managing Director

Justin’s experience spans across 20 years in accounting, financial analysis and general business practice.

Although born and bred on the land, Justin’s interest was more in spreadsheets, ledgers, and finance which led him to attend university. In 1992, Justin graduated with a Bachelor of Business majoring in Accounting and Finance. As well as qualifying as a CPA member and becoming a Fellow of the Taxation Institute of Australia, he began gaining practical experience in small and mid-tier accounting practices.

During the late 90s, Justin decided to expand his horizons and travel through Europe. It was during this time that he seized the opportunity to expand his knowledge on the workings of large organisations by taking on roles in multinational corporations.

Today, Justin’s passion is in facilitating businesses to grow and evolve. His focus is on acting in the role of business mentor to help clients develop the full potential of their businesses. He joins clients on their unique journey, and provides the tools and knowledge they need along the way to make the right decisions.

Justin’s aim for his clients parallels his own philosophy and personal journey—focusing on his own career growth and business success while maintaining balance in his life with his wife and three daughters.
