Running a small business is rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming – especially when you are wearing every hat. Our business mentoring and coaching services are designed to give you the support, clarity and accountability that you need to grow your business with confidence.

Whether you are a start-up navigating your first year or an established business looking to take the next step, we work alongside you to turn your ideas into achievable plans. 

Why Business Mentoring Matters

  • Clarity on direction - understand where your business is now, and where it needs to go.
  • Support for better decision making - make choices with confidence, backed by real data and experience.
  • Accountability to keep you on track - turn plans into action, and action into results.

  • Streamlining operations and improving efficiency
  • Understanding and managing cash flow
  • Planning for sustainable growth
  • Building a strong, motivated team

The Australian Construction Industry Forum has for the last seventeen years engaged the accounting services of Palfreyman Chartered Accountants, and we greatly value their services. We have found the staff to be knowledgeable, caring, highly efficient and very helpful. Their expert understanding of MYOB has been much appreciated by our small office team, and the preparation of accounts for auditing has been outstanding.

After becoming dissatisfied with the services of another accounting firm, we looked around and found Palfreyman Chartered Accountants. We had a consultation with Simone, finding her very professional and met the friendly team at Palfreyman Chartered Accountants. Safe Act Pty Ltd working with Palfreyman Chartered Accountants, has found good communication with only a phone call away, not waiting for a call back. Palfreyman Chartered Accountants was able to point us in the right direction for positive growth and relieve the pressure of financial reporting.

Before launching our small business we turned to Simone, who advised us and structured the whole framework of the operation. She has provided a wealth of information and guidance and worked very hard to keep us on track. We could not have managed without the support of Simone and her team.
Noel HarrisonDirector, OOSHcare Pty Ltd
I feel comfortable and confident with the team at Palfreyman’s. They are a lovely, bright group of people. I have needed some very unusual advice and Simone and her team have helped beyond my expectations. I’m more than happy to recommend Palfreyman Chartered Accountants for business establishment and accounting advice.
