Amanda Fisher - CFO and Business MentorCFO – Business Mentor - Financial Educator

Jul. 2015Sydney, AustraliaMy business mentoring and education programs are, you’ll find, very different. Firstly, I have a knack of making the complex simple, of removing the jargon and accounting-speak and making numbers fun and interesting. Secondly, I find that I convert people who “hate numbers” into those who love them and embrace using them daily in their business. In terms of how I do what I do, I understand that my clients have three key challenges: 1. They struggle with cashflow issues 2. They have poor or no management reporting systems in place 3. They lack forward planning, support and accountability I have designed a range of services that will solve these frustrations by: - Improving cashflow with step by step processes - Designing a tailored management reporting solution - Providing support, advice and regular accountability sessions Every business has different challenges and requirements. I currently have two programs to choose from: 1. Business Mentoring/CFO services. This is a tailored program working on-on-one 2. Business Cashflow Mastery. This is an online training program launching in February 2017. Sound interesting?

Connected AccountantsCEO

Aug. 2007 - Jun. 2015Chatswood, NSWAccountants aren't known for being passionate, but I am. I'm passionate about efficiency, business growth and ensuring that goals are met. When I bought into the practice in August 2007, it was a traditional firm doing mostly compliance work using an in-house server and desktop software. I have been an early adopter of new technology all my working life, so it is no surprise that I used this firm as a learning experience and training ground to test my theories about improving efficiencies with cloud technology. I am enthusiastic about the benefits to be gained from streamlining systems and reducing the duplications so inherent in traditional accounting firms. My enthusiasm infected the team and clients, the majority of whom transitioned to cloud systems under my guidance. From 14 databases down to just 4, from time savings to using synchronised systems between the clients and internally, from single to double monitors the list goes on. Every area of the practice was fine-tuned and improved. During this time, I released my first book, No 1 Bestseller on Amazon. Connected Technology – How to Transform Your Business with Cloud Accounting. This is a definitive guide to transitioning from desktop software to cloud accounting.

McDonald IndustriesFinancial Controller

Jan. 2000 - Dec. 2007Sydney, AustraliaFor 7 1/2 years, I was the Financial Controller for a group of private companies in the property development and real estate industry. During this time, I gained extensive experience in how to run a business, and the pitfalls, stresses and issues that business owners face. From dealing with the accounts, paying bills, reconciling bank accounts, to dealing with contracts, bankers, solicitors, insurance renewals and a myriad of other administration tasks, I did it all. The experience gained during this period provided me with inside knowledge and understanding of what it is really like to run a business and how accounting firms can provide appropriate support and advice to help the owners.

Amanda Fisher & CompanyPrincipal

Jan. 1994 - Dec. 1999Sydney, AustraliaWhat started off as a small business with no clientele quickly grew to one of the fastest growing accounting practices in Sydney before being eventually sold 5 years later to allow Amanda to pursue her passion to work in commercial accounting. Amanda instituted fixed fee agreements with all the clients at a time when fixed fees were unheard of in the accounting industry staying ahead of the field with technology and innovation. Regular management reporting and advice were standard services to all business owners long before GST became a part of daily life and other accountants realised that they could be providing management reporting with the BAS returns.
