Business Coaching And Mentoring

World class athletes recognise the importance of having a coach whose role is to help the athletes with their technique, strategy, planning and motivation. Equally, business owners looking to improve the performance of their business should consider engaging a ‘coach’.

As Michael Gerber points out in his book, ‘The E Myth – Why Most Businesses Don’t Work and What To Do About It’, “Most people work IN their business. The secret is NOT to work in it, it’s to workON it so that you don’t have to work IN it”. Unfortunately a large number of business owners work long hours for inadequate financial returns and a business coach could improve their financial outcomes by providing strategy and direction.

According to research from the 2013 MYOB Business Monitor, small business operators who used their accountant as a business advisor last year were 31% more likely to see an earning uplift. Of the 1005 business owners surveyed, 89% used an accountant but only 32% of owners reported having an advisory or consultative relationship with their accountant. Of the 32% of business owners who worked with an accountant as an advisor, one in five (21%) saw a rise in their revenue over the last year.

Client Testimonials

“I was always busy in my business but my profitability was not a reflection of my time, effort and investment return.  After a business planning session with McHenry Partners, it was evident my systems were inefficient, our team members not productive enough and my time was being bogged down in less important areas of the business.

Over the last two years I committed to monthly consulting meetings with McHenry Partners. These meetings would identify the priorities of actions to work on my business to improve it. As a result, we have made significant improvements with better structures, systems and communication in our organisation and the team culture is now fantastic. I don’t have to worry about business cashflow anymore which gives me great peace of mind.

We now only have quarterly meetings instead of monthly, which keeps my General Manager and myself accountable to continue to improve the business. I would highly recommend McHenry Partners services.”

“I wish I had watched this financial presentation 10 years ago. Property Investment sounds a lot less daunting when you understand how it works. I thought I was a long way off getting an investment property, but I now understand I can use the equity in my home and I can afford the weekly net cost.”

We can help you identify emerging issues so that a minor problem never becomes a major crisis. No matter what size your business is, success comes down to strategically thinking about the future.

We use tools such as benchmarking to systematically measure your operating performance over time and then compare the results against similar businesses. It helps identify key strengths and weaknesses which in turn allows us to develop strategies to improve the operating performance of the business. Statistics, ratios and key performance indicators (KPI’S) are monitored and we compare them to prior periods and available industry data.

Accurate and timely financial information is vital in the business coaching process. For this reason, when recommending the accounting software for your business we match your business needs with your level of accounting skill and where required, train you to use the software whether it is Xero, MYOB, Quicken or Cashflow Manager.
