Richard Hockley

All General Surveying

“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.”

Surfcoast Cabinets

“We had only been in business for 18 months and growing at a quick rate but felt we needed a mentor or coach to provide more guidance to address the ‘growing pains’ we were experiencing. Our existing accountant had prioritized a compliance focus. By moving across to McHenry Partners they were able to point out improvements to our credit policies, train us on a better financial management system and guide us on the working capital we required to support our growing business. Also introducing us to their associates to help us in areas of expertise, such as asset finance.

I am feeling more in control now and confident we can sustain our growth to achieve even better financial returns.”

Craig Harrison

“McHenry Partners have been our Accountants for many years and we have always found them to be professional and very supportive. When I retired from the business they were able to assist with the sale of my shares to the remaining partner and my transition from the business. Their Financial Planning services were able to set up my Self Managed Super Fund and help me manage my investments which I am very happy with. I have even appointed Steve McHenry as my back up Power of Attorney given the trust and confidence I have.”

Enhance Your Future

“While we felt we had great educational products and services, we were struggling to effectively market these to increase sales and our business seemed to be ‘treading water’. McHenry Partners really helped us to focus on the key profitable services and clarified the target market to promote these services. We contracted the right sales people with incentives for them to perform well. As a result our sales have doubled in each of the last two years without increasing administration staff. Our quarterly consulting meetings with McHenry Partners involving discussing our recent financial performance but more importantly guides us on what actions we need to do to improve the business over the following three months. Our business has come a long way in a short period of time.”

MedicAid

I have medical practices in Geelong and Ballarat.Before moving to McHenry Partners my prior accountant was charging me large compliance fees and lodgments were being made late.

My bookkeeper, accounting software and the accounting firm just wasn’t working well enough and I felt like I was being left in the dark.

Making the move to McHenry Partners resulted in positive changes:

  • A cloud-based accounting system was adopted.
  • A better bookkeeping solution was offered at a more cost-effective rate.
  • Communication of financial results and tax position is excellent.

I am now well informed and compliance lodgments are on time.

This has made my life less stressful knowing things are well under control.

McHenry Partners are always available to quickly respond to my queries and it has been a pleasure to work with them.

Bennett Electrical & Bennett Racing

“McHenry Partners have been supporting our business for nearly 10 years now.

In recent years we changed over to the Xero accounting system. The training we received was excellent and transition smooth and now the financial management side of the business takes less of our time and we know exactly what our financial position is at any point of time. Whenever we have a business matter to discuss, we always receive sound advice making us feel comfortable when important financial decisions need to be made.”
