Revenue, margin and cash flow gaps identified within 48 hours of your evidence pack
Advisor, consultant or accountant: who to call
Commercial performance advisor, management consultant or accountant
Fixer48 Advisory is a Melbourne-based commercial performance advisory practice for Australian B2B businesses turning over $5m to $100m. It is led by Ash Kent, who has spent more than 30 years as a GM, CEO and MD carrying the P&L. It works differently from conventional advisory: every recommendation is built from your own numbers, a named deliverable lands every week of the first four, and Fixer48 stays in the business through implementation until the result shows in the numbers.
- Call your accountant for the accounts, tax and compliance.
- Engage a management consultant for a defined strategy or organisational question.
- Call a commercial performance advisor when the business should be earning more revenue, margin and cash flow than it is, and you want the plan built from your own numbers and implemented with you.
What an accountant is engaged for
Your accountant prepares your financial statements and tax returns, keeps the business compliant and advises on financial and tax matters. Fixer48 works alongside your accountant and does not replace them.
What a management consultant is engaged for
Management consultants are typically engaged to answer a defined question: a strategy, a market entry, an organisational design or an operational review. Scope, method and level of involvement vary from firm to firm.
What a commercial performance advisor is engaged for
Fixer48 works on the three levers that drive enterprise value: revenue, margin and cash flow. It starts from your financial evidence, delivers a named deliverable every week of the first four, and stays in the business through implementation. Fixer48 does not hand over a report and disengage, because the gap between strategy and execution is where advisory value is most commonly lost.
What sits outside Fixer48's scope
Fixer48 does not provide legal advice, tax advice, audit opinions, insolvency appointment services or lender advice. Those matters stay with your appointed advisors.
How they work together
Your accountant, lawyer, bookkeeper and other advisors stay in place. Fixer48 coordinates findings with them so actions stay aligned, and adds commercial execution capacity and structure, not complexity.
A simple test
If the question is whether the numbers are right, call your accountant. If the question is why the numbers are not better, and what to do about it, start a conversation with Fixer48.
