At The Small Business Book we are a team of experienced business consultants offering expert services across a range of sectors, including accounting, human resources, operations, and people management.

With a combined 30+ years of experience across industries such as non-profit, construction, events, hospitality, retail, trade, and farming, we provide the high-level support that growing businesses need to thrive.

Our approach is built on being your trusted business partner - helping you navigate complex financial landscapes, optimise your operational efficiency, and foster a positive, high-performance culture. Whether you’re looking for strategic business advisory or need expert financial guidance, we act as your CFO or CEO - offering senior-level expertise that is both affordable and impactful.

Our team is committed to helping businesses not just survive, but flourish. We provide the strategic insight, financial oversight, and people management expertise that businesses of all sizes need, but often can’t afford in a full-time capacity. We understand the pressures businesses face, and our goal is to ensure you have the right guidance to make informed decisions that drive success.

We aim to connect with business owners and companies that require our specialised advisory services. If you’re looking for operational efficiency, financial clarity, or people-focused support, we’d love to help you take your business to the next level.
