CASE STUDY 01

Margin Recovery in a Greenfield Project

The Issue

A newly launched greenfield division within a globally recognised company was falling short of its financial targets. Despite strong sales, margins were well below expectations — and the General Manager couldn’t explain why. Leadership had no clear visibility on where the leakage was occurring.

The Solution

I conducted a full commercial audit across the supply chain. This revealed four distinct points of margin leakage:

  • Procurement inefficiencies
  • Pricing inconsistencies
  • Operational waste
  • Reporting blind spots

I presented a clear, quantified recovery plan with targeted commercial fixes — each designed to lock value back into the business.

The Outcome

The business recovered over $2 million in annualised net profit — on startup-level revenue. Visibility was restored, confidence returned at board level, and commercial discipline was embedded from day one.

Risk Mitigation Through Cyber Preparedness

The Issue A mid-sized professional services firm experienced multiple near-misses with phishing emails, fake invoice payment requests, and weak financial approval processes. The board lacked confidence in operational risk controls and compliance exposure was growing. The Solution I conducted a governance and risk audit focused on operational security. This revealed:
  • Poor training and inconsistent staff awareness
  • Lack of clear escalation paths
  • No formalised risk matrix or authorisation tiers
Working with leadership, I rolled out a structured training program, defined a practical risk framework, and implemented layered approval controls. The Outcome The business significantly reduced its exposure to cyber-related fraud and operational risk. Staff responded more confidently to potential threats. The board gained assurance that governance and compliance were under control. Is your board exposed without realising it? Let’s assess your risk posture before it becomes a problem.

Scaling Through Systems Integration

The Issue A high-growth business was unable to generate consistent or reliable financial reports. With multiple systems operating in silos, there was no central source of truth — and leadership lacked visibility into cash flow, margin drivers, and budget performance. The Solution I ran a full systems audit across finance, operations, and reporting. Key gaps were identified — including system overlaps, manual data dependencies, and absence of audit trails. I then designed and led the implementation of an integrated reporting framework, anchored in the accounting software as the central source of financial truth. The Outcome Management reporting, budget tracking, and variance analysis were fully restored. The business gained real-time visibility, decision confidence, and a scalable infrastructure — ready for the next stage of growth. Struggling to scale without visibility? Let’s audit your systems and restore clarity where it counts.
