Boards and purpose-driven organisations across Australia.

Founded by CPA-qualified executive Dennis Bothma, we work as a trusted right-hand to business owners, CEOs and Boards — strengthening finance, operations, risk management and leadership execution.
Whether you are a small business scaling up, a founder overwhelmed by operational demands, or a Board seeking stronger governance oversight, we provide practical, embedded executive leadership without the cost of a permanent hire.

• Gold Coast
• Brisbane
• Northern Rivers NSW
• Regional Queensland
While we work nationally, across Australia, our focus is supporting Queensland-based SMEs, founder-led businesses and Boards seeking experienced executive leadership without full-time overhead.
This local presence ensures hands-on engagement, in-person leadership support and deep understanding of the Queensland business environment.
