About

Hey I’m James, I’m a Coffs Harbour local and there’s nothing I’d rather see than local businesses on the Mid North Coast thrive.

After two decades building and managing businesses (from bootstrapping small startups to managing $500M+ balance sheets) – and helping friends with businesses of varying sizes, I’m now providing business advice for those outside my immediate network. 

If you are a budding entrepreneur with a great idea, have a side hustle or in small business and looking for help and advice, please get in touch!

FAQs

What services do you offer?

JFI specialises in the financial side of business. This includes offering bookkeeping which has proven to be a great way for partnerships to form and build trust, and also provides a massive health check on the business and offers some good insight on where to go next.

Are you formally qualified?

Yes! I have a Bachelors Degree in Economics, International Business and Marketing. I have also attained my nationally recognised Bookkeeping course and am a member of the Australian Institute of Certified Bookkeepers.

What businesses are you most experienced with?

As a business professional with a broad and diverse set of skills, I have found the ability to add value to most businesses I deal with. That being said, I do come into businesses or business owners that I feel could be better serviced elsewhere and I am forthcoming with this information. My desire for JFI is to be a reputable staple for business and financial advice on the Mid North Coast and this journey requires honesty and integrity at every step.

Can owner equity or share allocation be used as payment for on-going service?

Definitely, but it has to be the right business with the right team which is rare.
