Testimonials
“Marc has become a valued member of our team. He is attentive, interested in everything we do and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the challenges we face at any one time. He is passionate about small business and clearly loves what he does.”
Virginia Jackson, Director, Harlock Jackson Pty Ltd
“In the short time that I have been working with Marc he has helped me greatly with my business. In fact, it has changed my life both personally and professionally. For eight years I have lived a life of a technician within our business grasping for air and help. Marc helped me get off the small business merry go-round. We are well on our way to becoming a business that, in time, will operate without me.
In the beginning he questioned my whole reasoning for being in business. Although uncomfortable at first, we are now on the right path. A path to financial freedom and a journey that, as a small business owner, will give me my life back. For that I thank him.
To be more specific, we’ve worked on a range of issues including a new vision statement for the business (that I love), and the intial planning of a restructure of the operation which will allow us to expand. He has built a detailed financial model to help us understand the key drivers of the business and will soon be putting in place a new remuneration and bonus structure for staff. He has also been a valuable aid as we interview candidates for senior roles within the team. More recently he has participated and advised me in discussions with a potential merger partner and helped guide those discussions to ensure that key areas are not missed.
As the sole owner of my business I often miss having a partner to confide in. Marc plays that role well, and I regularly use him as a sounding board on a range of topics such as how to handle specific situations that have arisen with my staff. Having Marc there for advice has already helped me improve as a leader, rather than just a manager as he often reminds me. Marc is very giving of his time and he provides common sense advice that always makes sense. Having one person that I can absolutely trust and who can help across a range of areas is very valuable to me.
I look forward to having the chance to talk to anyone that may be considering using Marc in a similar advisory role as I believe he has a lot to offer small business owners like myself.”

“Initially the key reason for using Marc was due to the tight deadlines we had given ourselves and a number of other jobs that were requiring our time. However, within a short period it became obvious to us that the benefit to our business from using Marc would be more than just getting another pair of experienced hands. The overall quality of Marc’s work was very high, but he also made several key suggestions during the course of the project that we adopted and ended up with a much better result from the project because of it.
I can highly recommend Marc to anyone that is looking for an experienced and knowledgeable business adviser. He is passionate about what he does and this shows in his work. He listens carefully, asks good questions, and provides thoughtful and intelligent advice.”
Adam Hillary, Managing Director, CertaTech Pty Ltd
“I was ready to construct a compelling vision for my life and business, but where to start? The sessions with Marc were fantastic. He openly shared some great ideas and strategies for myself and our business.
One of the hardest things to do is take a ’self test’, an objective look at what and how you do things. Marc asked the questions that needed to be asked. He helped define and enhance a focus for myself and our business, and more so, our ultimate visions and goals. This, together with his enthusiasm and passion for business, has become invaluable.
From my observations Marc has a unique way of helping his clients see the forest for the trees. He is honest and straightforward and can bring a world of experience and knowledge to a conversation very effectively. I both benefited from and enjoyed our time together and will not hesitate to call on Marc moving forward.
I know I will be implementing several of the ideas and strategies which Marc spoke about. I am now more confident moving forward knowing Marc is only a phone call away.
I would definitely recommend Marc as I have no doubt that the skills that Marc brought to our discussions could be of benefit to others.”
