MyCFO Advisory

With nearly two decades of experience, we deliver advice that moves the numbers.

  • Advisory-led

    We sit in the decisions with you on pricing, hiring and structure, not just the reporting that follows them.

  • Practical direction

    Every recommendation comes with the numbers behind it, and the one move to make next.

  • Built around your goals

    Your forecasts, structure and quarterly rhythm are built for your business. A method, not a template.

Business Valuation

Know what your business is actually worth.

Benchmark your business against your industry in minutes, and see the three levers most likely to move the number.

  1. Enter four numbers you already know.
  2. See an indicative range and the working behind it.
  3. Talk it through with us before you act on it.

Indicative value

What happens next

We pressure-test this against your earnings quality, contracts and market conditions, then walk you through the levers most likely to move it.

Discuss this valuation

Indicative only. A formal valuation considers earnings quality, contracts and market conditions.

What are you trying to get control of?

Industries we know inside out.

Money keeps coming in. Why is the account empty before payday?

Progress claims, retentions and WIP hide the real cash position. We build a forecast that shows what is truly available.

You’re working more. Why isn’t the business making more?

Utilisation, pricing and scope creep quietly erode margin. We model where the hours actually go and reprice from there.

The busy season was full. Where did the profit go?

Wage cost, supplier creep and seasonality decide the year. We set the weekly numbers that keep peak trading profitable.

Client perspective

Trusted advice, felt beyond the numbers.

As a family business, we needed advisers who understood that the numbers are only part of the picture. Family dynamics, succession and long-term planning bring their own challenges. Izaak de Winter and the MyCFO Advisory team took the time to understand our situation and helped us work through important decisions around succession, strategy and tax planning. They also gave our directors greater clarity about life both inside and outside the business.

What stood out was their ability to turn complex issues into clear options and practical next steps. Rather than giving us a standard accounting answer, they helped us understand what was possible, adapt as circumstances changed and keep sight of the bigger picture.

Over the past 12 months, our family navigated significant change, including changes to beneficiaries, directors and tax rules. MyCFO Advisory helped us stay ahead of it. Their advice gave us confidence in the decisions we were making today while helping us prepare for what comes next.

They have become a trusted part of our journey and an invaluable sounding board. I would strongly recommend Izaak and the MyCFO Advisory team to any business looking for advisers who do much more than prepare accounts.

We have worked with MyCFO Advisory from the beginning, and they have taken our business practices, structure and forward planning to the next level.

What sets MyCFO Advisory apart is the time they invest in understanding how our business operates and what we want to achieve. They do much more than provide an accounting service. Their advice supports our goals, strengthens our decision-making and genuinely adds value to the business.

The team is approachable, genuine and professional. Having previously worked with accountants who focused primarily on compliance, the difference has been significant. MyCFO Advisory understands the needs of a contemporary business and translates its commercial insight into practical, meaningful advice we can actually use.

Their forward-thinking approach, commercial understanding and commitment to our success have made them an invaluable part of our business journey. I would highly recommend Izaak and the MyCFO Advisory team to any business looking for more than an accountant: a trusted advisory partner that genuinely understands and supports their business.

A single conversation can change the year.

Twenty minutes with our team is often enough to surface the next move worth making.
