We make navigating business finances fun

Finance management by humans (not robots)

It all began with an 18 kg box of receipts.

Finance Director, Aimee started helping out her bro with business finances when she was 18 (he was 17). What followed was a hilarious series of events which led Aimee to a finance job at Rockstar Energy Drinks.

14 years later, when a colleague (turned bestie) from Rockstar came to Aimee with an 18kg box of receipts, she realised other business owners were avoiding their numbers, just like others she helped did.

Demystify business finances? Empower people with their numbers? Eat donuts while celebrating client wins? Sounded like a dream come true.

So in 2017, Aimee left her job to dedicate 100% of time to helping business owners achieve NuMbEr DoMiNaTiOn!! And Business Lane’s been livin’ in the fast lane ever since.

We get it.

Business numbers are tough. Confusing and sometimes… scary.

*shivers.*

To be honest, you’ve started questioning “am I even doing this right?” Xero is freaking you out. And ‘the books’ appears on your to-do list more often than knock-off drinks (not okay!).

It gets worse. Financially, you’re unsure where your business stands. Is it time to hire another, or fire your brother? Should you take that holiday or cut back on business subscriptions? Ugh! Who knows.

 

You’ve reached a fork in the road.
Damn you fork.

Do you:

Keep having Xero nightmares… (no, thanks)

“Numbers and data have the ability to be turned into information through analysis, this is key to enabling good decision making. It allows us to take the guesswork out and give control and clarity back to businesses!”

“When businesses see their numbers in a simple way, they can get a clear picture about what they’re supposed to be doing (or not doing). It makes their lives so much easier!”

With 25+ years administration support, Michelle enjoys life in the *middle* lane. The hustle bustle of city life, and coming home to her seaside town. Loves a laneway lemon meringue and skinny cap (unless espresso martinis are on the menu). And on her days off you’ll find her buried in a good book, walking along the beach or seriously bingeing reality TV (think Real Housewives or Bake Off).
