Daniel Borg, psyborg®

Originally, Growthwise came to me to assist them with designing their brand and communications strategy. I decided to switch over to growthwise as I began to understand their enthusiasm, approach, professionalism and expertise.

Daniel Borg, psyborg®

THE SITUATION

psyborg® is a branding, graphic design and interactive studio that solves business communication problems with online, offline and inline marketing strategies. We have worked with Growthwise for 4 years.

The relationship began when Growthwise approached us for a brand and communications strategy. We developed an understanding of their offering and an appreciation for their enthusiasm and expertise. The team presented a proposal that made sense and we didn’t hesitate to make the switch.

Our previous supplier delivered work on key dates with an ‘accountancy-first, business growth-second’ approach. At Growthwise this approach is flipped with an holistic services offering.

THE ACTION

Their first task was to transition psyborg® from MYOB to Xero. It made a huge difference to the efficiency of our business. We were off to a good start and the relationship has only improved. The team is attentive, responsive and prompt to answer any questions whenever we have them. And not only do they perform annual reports on our previous year but they go the extra mile to help us forecast and set business goals for the year ahead.

On the L & P Platers programs, Growthwise understands our business in order to educate and motivate us to grow the studio in a directed and sustainable way.

The key features of the Growthwise offering that psyborg® has found most beneficial are:

  • They are an enthusiastic and passionate team who are like partners, not accountants.
  • They have a deep understanding of our business to help us understand how to grow.
  • They are well connected in digital media and the fast-paced nature of changing business.

THE RESULT

Growthwise has helped psyborg® improve in a number of ways and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other businesses.

Knowledge to grow

We understand our business better, which helps us to make smarter decisions that help us grow.

Business efficiency

The move to Xero has made our business more efficient with fast access to data that helps connect our business systems.

Novocastrian Scaffolding & Access Equipment

Growthwise have been great on achieving the results required for our company. We are a medium size company and the advice and results have been great for the Business.

Amanda Curley, Novocastrian Scaffolding & Access Equipment

THE SITUATION

Novocastrian is a scaffolding hire, sales labour and transport business. We have used Growthwise for all of our accountancy requirements since they started up 5 years ago.

We decided to move to Growthwise after experiencing frustrations with our previous supplier. After meeting Steph, we were really impressed with their forward-thinking approach to business accountancy and in particular with her knowledge and professionalism.

THE ACTION

The team at Growthwise is fantastic and their service is exceptional. They respond to every call or email on the same day and are efficient in everything they do. On top of this, they are friendly, knowledgeable and we really benefit from the learning sessions they provide through their L & P Platers programs.

The learning sessions help us improve our understanding of our own business from a broader perspective to the extra details that we might have missed in programs like Xero. Through the Q&A sessions, we have met other clients who have helped us grasp and prepare for other challenges and solutions we might encounter in the future.

The key features of their offering that Novocastrian has found most beneficial are:

  • Shortcuts and new ways of doing things in Xero that streamline our operations.
  • The team is helpful and responsive when we come across any hurdles along the way.

THE RESULT

Growthwise has shown us how to use Xero in the most efficient and effective way possible and continues to educate us on how to make the most of the tool to help our business run smoothly, with brilliant results. Without Growthwise and Xero, we would still be using old software that might leave us in the dust with our competitors. Now we can work anywhere and everywhere, ensuring business doesn’t stop.

For any business seeking growth, streamlined operations and an accountancy firm with excellent levels of service, knowledge and advice – I would highly recommend Growthwise. In three words, they’re fast, fun and functional!

Bryce Hardie Plumbing Services

The team at Growthwise always have the time to seek out the best option for my company, which is demonstrated by the financial gains of Hardie Plumbing Services.

Bryce Hardie, Bryce Hardie Plumbing Services

THE SITUATION

Hardie Plumbing Services offers a full range of plumbing solutions for commercial and residential premises. After a referral from a friend, we switched to Growthwise 18 months ago and have noticed a big improvement in the efficiency of our business.

Our previous supplier struggled to offer innovative solutions to help our business grow. With the welcoming team at Growthwise, the transition was hassle-free and exciting because of the introduction of new products to help make running our business easier.

THE ACTION

Using the latest programs and technology, Growthwise has performed proficiently with an exceptional level of service that goes above and beyond what we expected.

The L & P Platers programs are useful to professionals who don’t have a background in business (like myself) and find it challenging to consider and devise strategies for the company.

The key features of the Growthwise offering that Hardie has found most beneficial are their:

  • knowledge,
  • efficiency
  • technology
  • communication
  • and results.

THE RESULT

Since working with Growthwise, my company has grown exponentially thanks to Steph’s vast knowledge and innovative ideas when it comes to business accounting. The team always finds time to seek out the best option for my company.

As well as the bigger picture, the team has helped with the day to day running and efficiency of the business.

Through Growthwise, Hardie Plumbing Services has enjoyed considerable financial gains. I’d recommend them wholeheartedly. In three words, they’re impressive, innovative and dynamic.

Neon Zoo

Abby & Clare, Neon Zoo

Growthwise was able to assist us with their specialist knowledge in migrating our financials to xero and were able to give us some much needed 'tough love' when it came to growing our business.

Abby, Neon Zoo

THE SITUATION

Neon Zoo is a graphic design studio that offers small to medium businesses branding, design and website solutions. After a friend’s recommendation, we switched to Growthwise in 2012. Our previous supplier wasn’t meeting our small business needs and there were multiple teething problems when we attempted to move from MYOB to Xero.

We wanted accountancy reports that we could understand and access easily from a cloud-based system. Growthwise was able to assist us with their specialist knowledge in migrating our financials to Xero and they created a simple, workable system that us ‘non-financial people’ can manage and grasp. The team also gave us some much needed ‘tough-love’ when it came to the subject of growing our business.

THE ACTION

The benefits of using Growthwise have far surpassed our initial ideas of what we thought we would get from our accountant. On the L & P Platers programs we receive business development knowledge, business reviews, planning and regular contact when we have any 'pesky' questions about Xero. It has set us up with fundamental business knowledge about building up our KPIs to run a business that we WANT to work in.

What we have found most beneficial to us is a brand new business mindset that has helped us to eliminate, automate, delegate. And, with exciting new apps and software, our business is streamlined.

With our previous supplier, we were given 2 appointments a year and a pat on the back – even if we hadn’t performed well. On the L & P Platers programs, we see Growthwise monthly and get expert genuine business advice and clearly set targets for our business development.

THE RESULT

Growthwise has helped us set clear and simple weekly and monthly KPIs that help us to reach our targets. On their advice, we have also introduced daily 'stand ups' and a weekly 'ban admin' marketing meetings to streamline our workloads.

Along with continual training and Xero features updates, Growthwise has been great in helping us manage and streamline our admin around payroll and batch payments for example. We’ve also learnt about shoeboxes and are about to start using Debtor Daddy, all introduced to us by the team who are always up to date with the latest products and technology.

Innovative, educational and motivating – I would definitely recommend Growthwise.

MCG Quantity Surveyors

MCG Quantity Surveyors Image

Growthwise are always bursting with enthusiasm and I always leave their office brimming with confidence to smash our business goals.

Mike, MCG Quantity Surveyors

THE SITUATION

We are a consultant quantity surveying firm specialising in construction cost estimating & tax depreciation schedules for both residential and commercial property investors. 

We decided to setup in business in 2011 so really wanted someone to help guide us through starting business from scratch. Growthwise have been working with us since we first came up with our business idea. 

THE ACTION

In terms of performance Growthwise are like a Duracell enema. They’re always bursting with enthusiasm and I always leave their office brimming with confidence to smash our business goals, and sometimes a niggling notion that I could make it as a hipster (thank you Andrew.)

We have found the L and P Platers programs fun, enlightening, at times hysterical and always informative. 

But the key thing about Growthwise for us is their willingness to not only help you implement technology to make doing business easier, but their proactive drive to seek it out and trial it for themselves first. Everyone feels sorry for the first people out of the landing craft in saving private Ryan, but I imagine I’d best be waiting a few moments, until I see what’s happened to the guy in front of me. It’s like that…. only with cloud applications.

THE RESULT

We went from the idea of starting a business that may have stayed in our heads, through to starting the business, employing multiple staff and operating across Australia. We’ve also never had to prepare a BAS statement, which I imagine is about as enjoyable as a 18th century appendectomy.

Helping our business increase its level of efficiency has been a top priority for Growthwise. Asking if Growthwise has helped our business is like saying "does the roof help to stop you getting wet, or did the 5 red bulls contribute to the mild heart palpitations and the beautiful lucid euphoria?"

Growthwise in 3 words - Provocative, beneficial and phantasmagoric.
