The Fiscal Bridge is a bespoke consulting service focused on the future of your business and your family goals. Given Don MacNeil’s and Bronwyn Flintoff’s extensive background and expertise in accounting the ‘bridge’ will have a heavy emphasis on the financial metrics around your business model, but it will also look closely at you as a leader and the personal skill set you bring to the business.
About the Fiscal Bridge
The raison d’être for this consultancy is to help small business proprietors understand a lot more about the business vehicle they have created to take them to their fiscal goals. Our team will mine the data and find out what is really happening in your business and whether it is capable of taking you and your family to where they want to be. Clearly this will be both proactive and forward looking. This work requires judgement, experience, skill and a measure of intuition not normally found in accountants who are buried by compliance activities and hamstrung by office protocols. Our team will be free of those burdens. You will get your personal coach on site and ready to fire.
