NSW Small Business Advisory
Free, practical and independent support for NSW small business owners

Practical business advice,
from someone who's
sat where you're sitting.
I'm now working as a NSW Business Advisor
with Western Sydney Business Centre,
delivering advisory services through the
Service NSW Business Bureau. If you're a NSW small business owner,
I'm here to help you turn ideas, challenges and growing pains into a practical next step.
Small businesses make up
97%
of all businesses in NSW — and most are figuring it out without a dedicated sounding board.
Free advisory support for eligible NSW businesses
"For me, this feels like coming back to a space I know and love."
Over the years I've worked across small business, accounting, business management, mentoring and advisory roles — but one thing I've learned is that business is never just about the numbers or the systems. It's about people too.
Running a small business can feel exciting, rewarding and, at times, incredibly challenging. Sometimes you just need someone experienced to sit beside you, listen, look at what's happening, and help you work out the next practical step.
I'm looking forward to getting back alongside business owners.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Wherever you are in your business, there's a way to move forward from here.
You have an idea, but you're not sure where to begin.
Your business has grown, but your systems haven't kept up.
You're established, but you've been feeling stuck for a while.
You just need someone to sit beside you and help you find the next step.
