What Operators Are Saying
Real feedback from businesses who finally understand their numbers.
"I spent 20 years having a monthly meeting with my accountant, and this is the first time I really get it, like really get it."
"After 3 days of consulting, we had changed our pricing structure, and increased revenue 15%. And it removed confusion for our customers, who are now actually happier."
"After 6 months of weekly catch ups, our business went from chaotic, to more organised and calm. We went from losing money each month, to making money and starting to scale."
"I don't want to look at a heap of numbers. We just chat through the important ones, and I walk away with 2-3 things to focus on for the month. It's so much easier."
"Having Jackson build us a proper pricing matrix has given me far greater confidence when quoting clients - our pricing actually reflects our costs, margins and the value we deliver."
"Keeping the focus on the bigger picture saved us time and energy to just concentrate on operating our business."

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about CFO Actions.
About the Founder
Jackson qualified as a Chartered Accountant before ever running a business himself. At 25, he put that to the test - opening a 350-seat restaurant with a team of 60+, running every service, seven days a week. That combination - someone who's actually run the floor and can also read the P&L - is what most small business owners are missing.
With 15+ years in finance and operations, he's turned a struggling club's finances around, and guided Varsity Group from a valuation of under $5M to $50M+. Pound Group, a group of property and media businesses, were among the first clients when he started offering this kind of support directly - and they still are today.
The pattern is the same everywhere: most small business owners are brilliant operators but don't have anyone to turn to for financial judgement - from sole traders, to small businesses, to emerging multi-entity groups. Businesses that aren't yet ready to hire a full-time CFO, or don't actually need that level of financial commitment. That's exactly who CFO Actions is built for.
No jargon, no dashboards, no technical accounting speak - just clear direction, simple actions and options, from someone who's actually run a business like yours.
