Our Story
We have wandered the world for many years, adventuring from the peaks of Mount Sinai to the depths of the Amazon, from the haunted castles of Romania to the uninhabited islands of the Pacific.
Over & over again we saw the coming together of entrepreneurs, small business owners & community groups to collaboratively build stronger local communities.
Inspired by these endless encounters, an idea was born:
- To provide community connected businesses & organisations with honest, transparent & accessible Bookkeeping & Virtual CFO services
- To provide locals with services usually reserved for big business
- To strengthen local business networks & reduce reliance on the big guys
Services built on strong personal relationships, ongoing demonstrated value & a genuine desire to help.
From there, we built The Wandering CFO to bring financial smarts & control to NFPs, Purpose orgs & local businesses on an as-needed, depth-required, complexity-suited basis.
Savvy, honest, transparent & accessible guidance – without the suits, ties & stiff jargon.
Not your average accountant.
