Who is Wayfarer for?
Owner-operated businesses across Australia, typically $1m to $5m turnover, with cloud accounting already in place. Books are clean enough to decide from, and you want a clearer forward view of cash and performance. You keep your bookkeeper, accountant, and any finance team you already have; we partner on top.
Doesn't my accountant or bookkeeper already do that?
Your bookkeeper keeps the books accurate. Your accountant handles tax and compliance. Neither typically sits with you every month to explain what the numbers mean, build a forward view, and help you decide on hire, price, cash, and growth. That monthly rhythm is what Wayfarer adds.
Do you replace my bookkeeper or accountant?
No. We partner with them. We need clean books and we do not do BAS or tax. Read-only access to your accounting file; your existing team stays in place.
How is this different from software dashboards?
Software shows charts. We meet you every month, tell you what matters in plain English, and hold you to a short list of actions. Visibility without a human rhythm still leaves you guessing.
What software do you work with?
Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, and Sage Intacct, on top of the system you already run, not instead of it.
Will you chase debtors or talk to my bank for me?
No. We are an advisor, not an agent. We will tell you who to chase and why, and help you prepare for a bank conversation. You (or your team) make the external calls.
What does a typical month look like on Wayfarer Pro?
You get a monthly reporting pack with commentary and variance analysis, a 60-minute review call with Steve, a weekly vitals email plus a short 15-minute call, and up to 10 hours towards the models you run the business on. You leave with clarity and a short list of actions, then we pick it up again next month.
What is the free Cash Flow Audit?
The first three businesses with $1m+ revenue receive a Cash Flow Audit at no charge (normally $1,000). You get a short conversation on cash pain points, then a one-page cash health report: cash vs a 3-month spend buffer, working capital bottlenecks, a margin snapshot, and a profit-to-free-cash bridge, plus a clear verdict and next steps. Delivered within 7 days from an agreed start date, with a walkthrough. It is a historical diagnosis, not a forward forecast (forecasting is available separately or with Wayfarer Pro). Once the three free places are taken, the audit is $1,000.
