FAQ
What is business advisory and how is it different from accounting?
Business advisory goes beyond compliance to help business owners make better strategic and operational decisions. While accounting focuses on recording, reporting and meeting obligations, business advisory uses financial data to guide decisions about growth, profitability, cash flow, structure, risk and exit planning. Evergreen’s advisory team bridges the gap between the numbers and what they mean for your business.
What does Evergreen's business advisory service cover?
Evergreen’s business advisory services include strategic planning and goal setting, cash flow analysis and improvement, profitability review and margin analysis, business structuring advice, growth planning and KPI development, scenario modelling for key decisions, and preparation for business sale, succession or transition. Advisory is tailored to where your business is and where you want it to go.
How do I know if my business needs advisory support?
You likely need advisory support if you’re making major decisions without clear financial data, your profitability isn’t matching your revenue growth, you’re experiencing cash flow stress despite strong sales, you’re planning to hire, expand or restructure, or you simply feel like you’re reacting to problems rather than planning ahead. Most business owners benefit from a strategic advisory conversation at least twice a year.
Can Evergreen help with business structuring advice?
Yes. Choosing the right business structure — sole trader, partnership, company, trust or a combination — has significant implications for tax, asset protection, succession and fundraising. Evergreen advises on the most appropriate structure for your circumstances and can work with your legal advisors to implement any changes efficiently.
Does Evergreen provide cash flow advisory?
Yes. Cash flow management is one of the most common challenges for Australian SMEs. Evergreen works with clients to develop cash flow forecasts, identify the causes of cash flow stress, establish payment terms and collection processes, and plan for seasonal or cyclical variations. Understanding your cash position is foundational to every other business decision.
What KPIs should businesses track?
KPIs depend on your industry, but most businesses should monitor:
Financial KPIs:
– Revenue and revenue growth rate
– Gross profit margin
– Operating profit margin
– Cash flow and cash conversion cycle
– Customer acquisition cost (CAC)
– Customer lifetime value (LTV)
Operational KPIs:
– Sales cycle length
– Customer retention rate
– Employee productivity
– Utilisation rate (for service businesses)
– Inventory turnover
We help you identify the KPIs most important to your business and set up dashboards to track
them monthly.
Can Evergreen help me prepare my business for sale or succession?
Yes. Preparation for business sale or succession is a specialist area of Evergreen’s advisory service. This includes reviewing business structure, normalising financial statements for potential buyers, identifying value drivers and areas for improvement, and working alongside brokers and legal advisors through the sale or transition process.
Do I need to be based in a major city to access Evergreen's advisory services?
No. Evergreen’s business advisory service is available to clients across Australia, including regional and remote businesses. Advisory sessions are conducted in person in Brisbane or virtually via video conference. Many regional business owners find that access to senior advisory expertise — without having to travel to a capital city — is one of the most valuable aspects of working with Evergreen.
How can business advisory improve cash flow?
Business advisors help improve cash flow through:
– Working capital optimisation (reduce days payable, improve collections)
– Payment term negotiation with suppliers and customers
– Pricing analysis to ensure you’re not giving credit too freely
– Inventory management to reduce tied-up cash
– Seasonality planning and cash forecasting
– Operational efficiency to improve cash conversion
Many businesses discover they have cash flow problems they didn’t realise — not because they’re
unprofitable, but because of working capital management. An advisor can identify and fix these issues.
