Some kind words from clients
"I feel very fortunate to have met Dean in the early stages of my business start up with The Strucket. I am the creative and Dean worked the figures. With his knowledge and practical milestone setting for our future projections Dean was able to give my business a charted course to a successful launch.
I honestly believe Dean’s work has been a strong foundational piece to solving our Strucket puzzle.”
Kelly Lavery
Founder, CEO - The Buderim Bucket Company
"I engaged Dean as a Strategy Consultant to help me set the business foundations for my start up LILY ASH. Dean really helped me to make sense of the financial components of my new start up, particularly identifying how much capital is needed and how I could gain access to various forms of funding. Dean speaks a language I can understand. He articulates all things financial in a way that resonates with me and makes me feel at ease."
Janine Wyborn
Founder, Lily Ash
"I have been working with Dean on strategic and financial planning, and overall business management as I developed my organic chocolate manufacturing business.
I have found Dean invaluable for my early stage business. He provides a range of great services including integrated business planning modules and workshops.
I highly recommend."
Millie Mae
Founder, Pure Mill Chocolate
"Dean helped our Regional Management Team to focus and prioritise our range of strategic projects.
The action plan he helped us to put together allowed us to focus and deliver on our top priorities and to delegate the distracting urgent, but not important, tasks."
