As a Business Success Partner, Ann supports business owners to identify and work towards their business goals, put the right systems in place, and develop the insight, tools and confidence they need to achieve greater growth and profitability. She says: “Small businesses don’t have the kind of training or support that I’ve seen in big businesses, nor do they often have good systems in place. My job is to see the challenges and understand them fully – so together we can find the solutions that will work”.

With over 20 years’ experience in both corporate and SME environments, Ann has outstanding insight into what works for businesses. She is a Chartered Accountant (CA ANZ) with experience in both New Zealand and the UK; has successfully delivered a number of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) projects in the corporate sector; and is a Xero and WorkflowMax Certified Advisor.

Ann’s committed to see more New Zealand businesses succeed. The alternative, failure, has major consequences on owners, staff and their families; suppliers, banks, finance companies and all the other creditors that will never get paid; and the economy as a whole.

Business failure is avoidable and damaging, yet when it comes to running their own business, Ann has seen many experts in their profession struggling alone, without the time, tools or framework they need to succeed over the long-term.

This is where the Business Success Programme comes in, as it provides the context to investigate all areas of a business. Ann says:

“It’s a model that really appeals to me and I don’t have to reinvent the wheel. With such robust methods in my tool kit, I can make faster progress with small business owners… and that’s important to me”.

Being a consultant is also about enabling business owners to make sense of their data, financial information, processes and decision making strategies. “It’s exciting to see a business owner regain control because they’re now measuring the most important factors and can start to see the (good and bad) consequences of their business decisions”, Ann says.

As a consultant, Ann’s role is varied and exciting. She helps business owners set a plan and follow through, manage change and growth well, and ultimately realise their potential. Ann is someone to turn to for practical advice and someone who you can discuss your challenges and concerns with, whatever business phase you are in.

So, the questions have to be: are you confident that you have the business measurements and processes you need? Have you got a plan and someone who will help keep you on track? Do you have a go-to person who truly understands the pain points of your business and wants to see you overcome them? Are you ready to take your business to the next level and realise your potential?

Because Ann and the team can help. It starts with a free, one hour meeting to see if we’d be a good solution for you. Now’s a great time to get in touch.
