Business advisory

We understand business.

We know that business success and personal success are inextricably linked. We can help you achieve what’s important in your personal life, while addressing the issues and complexities inherent to business.

Your values, goals and aspirations help us get you started on a clear path to effectively manage your business challenges and maximise the rewards it can deliver.

Our services

Our business advisory specialists focus on small to medium businesses with $1-5 million turnover. Together, you can work through a range of challenges and roadblocks to realise your personal and business goals.

Our approach is different.

We build strong relationships because we genuinely want to get to know you and your business.

We want to understand your strengths and weaknesses, what business and personal success looks like for you.
Step one
Getting to know you and your business
We ask a lot of questions, for only then can we truly get to know you and understand your business. Once we unpack your values and aspirations, we can determine what success means for you personally and professionally. That enables us to map a path to achieve that success.

Success
Success doesn’t come overnight, nor is it a static concept. It’s about meeting your business and life goals, which we understand will change over time. We hold regular progress meetings with you to discuss aspirations and outcomes and realign plans as required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you get paid?

Our payment model is in keeping with our business philosophy – keep it simple, be transparent. From our early days, we have had one source of income – our clients. This approach underscores our commitment to putting you and your business first.

The Apprise Harpel Group operates under a boutique license from CFG Advice Pty Ltd. This independence means we are not influenced by large institutions or product manufacturers, dictating our service delivery or approach to client value. It allows us to select investments that are truly appropriate for you and, in some cases, your business, rather than being restricted to an approved product list compiled by a distant head office.

Like all businesses, we have a process. We start by asking a lot of questions about you and your business – we want to get to know you and for you to think about the things that really matter. We then agree on the terms of engagement and what you want from us. Our comprehensive plan will include clear goals and milestones to give you the agency to reap the rewards from your business and meet your personal goals.

In any twelve month period we review the path you are on, the milestones you have achieved and those we’re targeting for the next 12 months. We review this, in person, at least annually and more often where there are significant complexities or changes in your personal life or business.
