Why use GrowthPath?
Our Approach

1. Our fee is fixed-price and linked to the value generated. The value generated is several times the fee. We offer compelling value due to our skills and experience.
2. We don't give clients spreadsheets to complete and questionnaires to fill in. We are hands-on and help do the work to get the results.
   Since we don't charge per hour, this is about getting a good result, not about billing.
3. We don't like jargon. Tim has a linguistics degree and is trained in Clear Writing (Plain English). He really hates jargon. Tim and Alan have worked for years in non-English speaking countries, and we've learnt how to communicate clearly and quickly.
4. As CFOs trained for years in the European approach, we focus on the levers which drive a business: those few important things to improve and manage which really can bring a result. This doesn't necessarily make change easier, but it means we focus effort where it brings benefits.
5. We have real business experience. We know that the numbers follow what happens in the real world. We know that businesses make money and grow through the way they satisfy customers and work with suppliers and employees. We know how to persuade banks and investors to commit funds. Sometimes our advice means restructuring. We don't do this lightly. We know what it's like to fire people, and we've been on the painful end of restructuring as well.
6. We've worked in a very wide range of industries (and in a wide range of countries). We're fast to learn but every business is different. We appreciate learning about new businesses and the knowledge we gain helps us grow our business.
   But we don't charge you to learn about your business.
7. We are strong communicators and teachers. We love to improve the team at clients. Tim has been teaching for his whole career: he was even a tutor for the Mathematics Dept at Melbourne Uni. He has a TAE (2011) and teaches Small Business Management at the Holmesglen Business Entreprise Unit.
