Business Coaching and Financial Support for Professional Services
Turn expertise into a stronger business.
You may be very good at what you do. But running the business around that expertise can be another challenge entirely.
As a professional service firm grows, new questions emerge. Are your fees high enough? Is the team productive? Are you making enough from the work you take on? Do you have capacity to grow? Are too many decisions still dependent on you?
Beyond Your Numbers combines practical business coaching and advisory with financial insight to help professional service business owners understand what is happening, make stronger decisions and build a more sustainable business.
We work with professional firms throughout Christchurch, Canterbury and New Zealand.

Revenue is growing but profit is not keeping pace
You are unsure whether your pricing reflects the real value and cost of your work
Staff are busy, but capacity is difficult to judge
You still approve too many decisions

You are considering hiring but do not know whether the numbers support it

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of professional service businesses do you work with?
We work with established professional and service businesses across New Zealand. The fit matters more than the specific sector: we work best with owners who want to understand their business, improve performance and take action...
Can business coaching help with issues outside finance?
Yes. Coaching can cover pricing, leadership, team performance, planning, systems, capacity, workload and business direction as well as financial performance.
Can you help us work out whether we can afford to grow the team?
Yes. We can look at profitability, cash flow, workload and forecasts to help you understand what the business can realistically support.
Do we need to change our accountant or bookkeeper?
Not necessarily. If you already have good financial support and reliable reporting, Beyond Your Numbers can work alongside your existing providers.
