About Us
Hello and thanks for dropping by. I'm James, and I'm a proud Coffs Coast local.
But, what do I know about being on the tools?
Well, not as much as you otherwise I would still be laying roofs on the Gold Coast. Instead, I took myself off to university and studied business, economics and accounting. I then went on to manage business units for some of Australia's largest companies, a couple hundred million dollar portfolio there for a few years. In amongst this I ran a construction business spanning the Mid North Coast, so I understand construction from the ground up. Turns out I'm more handy with a spreadsheet than an impact driver.

“The path illuminates as you walk it.”
We have a strong belief at JFI Advisory that 'a rising tide raises all ships'. Raising two young kids in the community, I have a vision for a thriving and dynamic region here on the Mid North Coast where young people don't have to move away to achieve their dreams.
This belief is the foundation of our business and guides our decision making each and every day. We want to support good businesses and good business owners to achieve their true potential in their business because we understand at a deeper level that this will be felt throughout the whole community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Starting A Business
How do I know my business idea is worth money?

Is Coffs Harbour / Sawtell / Nambucca / Grafton / Mid North Coast a good place to start a business?

How do I start my business?
This will depend on what kind of business you are interested in starting. The type of business you are starting in many cases will determine what steps you would need to take first.
