figures is exactly the gap we specialise in
This isn't for everyone. It's built for one type of business owner.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF —
✓ You're hungry to break into 8 figures+
✓ You're profitable, but your bank balance doesn't reflect it and you don't have real financial visibility
✓ You're making big decisions (hiring, funding, pricing) without a CFO-level sounding board
✓ You're serious about growth and ready to act on expert advice
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF —
✘ Your business is operating outside Australia
✘ You're not the owner/director of the business entering
✘ Your business is not actively trading at time of entry
✘ You're not willing to take advice
Let's face it - running a business in Australia is hard!
The cost of doing business keeps rising, as does the pressure on margins. Rent, energy bills, staff, materials etc - all rising. And building wealth in Australia is becoming more complicated, with recent changes to our tax system.
You work hard and you risk a lot to provide for your family and for your staff.
Those are the reasons why we believe that you deserve all the help and support that you can get.
We know the transformational impact that our services have on our clients. And we know how attractive a free giveaway is.
Your business could be the lucky winner and this could be your ticket to growing your company to 8-figures!
What the next 6 months could look like
This isn't a free consultation or a one-off chat. It's a genuine fractional CFO engagement - the same level of advisory our paying clients receive, built around one core idea: diagnose properly, prescribe with precision and deliver real, measurable results.
01
The Diagnosis & Prescription - from Tony Barakat (CFO)
Expert CFO Tony Barakat personally deep-dives into your business - P&L, balance sheet, cash position, cost structure, pricing, margins, the lot. Not a skim. A proper examination of how your business actually makes (and loses) money, by someone who has seen it and done it all before, guiding businesses like Qure Skincare from startup to $50M+. Then comes the prescription: a clear, written, practical, prioritised set of actions based on exactly what he finds. Not generic advice - a diagnosis specific to your business, from someone who already knows what works at the next level. It's like having a tailored recipe for success.
02
Monthly Advisory Sessions
A standing session with a CFO every month - tracking progress against the prescription and working through whatever's front of mind.
03
Strategic Advisory
Direct input on the calls that matter - pricing, hiring, capital raises, debt - from someone who's done it before, at scale.
04
Financial Reporting
A one-page dashboard built around the numbers that actually drive your business - not an accountant's compliance report. You'll know where your business sits financially each month, so you can make key growth decisions with confidence and clarity.
05
Lender & Banking Liaison
If you're raising capital or managing debt, we can liaise with lenders directly and help you put your best position forward.
★ BONUS
A Financial Clean-Up
Let's be honest - your books and financials probably aren't perfect. They rarely are at this stage. So we'll clean them up for you, by providing 2 months of bookkeeping absolutely FREE - giving Tony accurate numbers to diagnose from, and giving you a clean slate to build on.
"Couldn't recommend Tony and his team highly enough."
Matt Orlic co-founded Qure Skincare and scaled it from zero to a $50 million brand - and later $90M+ - working alongside Tony Barakat and the CMPartners CFO+ team through the exact growth phase this giveaway is built for: 7 figures pushing into 8.
Watch Matt talk through what changed when he brought CMPartners CFO-level financial expertise into the business, and why he credits that relationship as part of Qure's growth story.
