Stop Guessing Where Your Money Goes

We help Australian businesses understand exactly how their spending compares to industry standards. No more wondering if you're overpaying for essentials or missing opportunities to save.

Real Numbers, Real Insights

Last year alone, our clients identified an average of $47,000 in budget inefficiencies. Here's what proper benchmarking actually looks like.

Beyond Simple Comparisons

Most businesses compare themselves to whoever they happen to know. We maintain Australia's most comprehensive database of operational spending across 2,400+ companies, updated quarterly with real financial data.

  • Industry-specific cost analysis broken down by business size
  • Regional variations accounting for local market conditions
  • Seasonal spending patterns and cash flow optimization
  • Vendor negotiation benchmarks based on actual contract data

How We Actually Do This

We've refined this process over eight years. It works because we focus on your specific situation rather than generic advice.

1

Deep Dive Into Your Numbers

We spend two weeks analyzing your past 18 months of spending. Not just categories, but timing, frequency, and the story behind major expenses. Most businesses are surprised by what patterns emerge.

2

Match You With True Peers

We don't compare a Brisbane manufacturing company to a Sydney tech startup. Our database segments by industry, size, location, and business model to find genuinely comparable companies.

3

Identify Real Opportunities

We present findings in plain English with specific dollar amounts. If you're spending 34% more on software than similar businesses, we'll show you exactly which subscriptions to review first.

4

Implementation Support

We don't just hand you a report. For three months after delivery, we're available for questions about vendor negotiations, timing decisions, and measuring progress.

Why Most Budget Analysis Fails

I've seen hundreds of businesses try to benchmark themselves using online calculators or industry averages from American websites. It rarely works because context matters enormously. A Melbourne cafe has different rent pressures than one in Darwin. A mining services company faces seasonal variations that don't apply to retail.

Location Impact

Operating costs can vary by 40% between Australian cities for identical businesses. We factor in regional economic conditions, not just national averages.

Timing Matters

Post-COVID spending patterns shifted dramatically. We compare you to current market conditions, not outdated historical data that no longer applies.
