We use a process known as a Strategic Business Review (SBR) to assist our clients to grow and improve their business. This highly effective tool consists of methodologies and models that allow us to thoroughly analyse your business, pinpointing your goals and designing a roadmap to ensure you can achieve them. SBR key areas:

  • Financials, pricing, and margins
  • A full SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis
  • Competitors and the market
  • Marketing and sales process
  • Team roles and responsibilities
  • Team productivity
  • Systems and processes
  • Business leadership
  • Goals and business planning
We will assist you in implementing key performance indicators (KPI's) in your business to track performance in key areas and drive change.

KPI's can be financial and non-financial measures. Cashflow target, profitability, customer retention and profitability are common examples.
Decision support and strategic planning with a financial perspective.

We can advise on a wide range of areas including: New accounting policies and procedures; Implementing new Financial Systems and ERP's; Streamlining financial operations processes such as Accounts Payable, Receivable and Reporting.

Businesses fail due to lack of planning - especially around cashflow management. Let us help you plan and be one step ahead of your competitors!

What our clients say.


  • Thank you Oliveira Bern & Garland for helping me with all the paperwork that I just couldn’t get my head around. This year is going to be a lot less stressful now!

  • I cannot speak highly enough of Graeme.

    He was recommended to me by Lawyer and now magistrate Roger Clisdell back in 2001 and we have had an excellent business relationship. Like a fatherly figure he takes a genuine interest in your accounts, provides timely and professional advice for our business and superannuation."

  • Graeme Garland was a godsend.

    We got in trouble with not keeping clear accounting books, and really late with BAS statements. Given just 2 weeks to lodge several years worth of outstanding BAS quarters, we needed urgent help from a good accountant that could lead us and help us in this matter.

    Graeme was very kind to take our case, and instrumental in teaching us how to use XERO accounts. It was very hectic, but we credit Graeme with our positive outcome with ATO, as he lodged our paperwork on time, and got us friendly repayment terms for our ATO debt. With all our oblications taken care of, we are very happy to continue using XERO and have Batemans Bay Accountants to guide our business.
