The person behind the advice

Who’s behind FrankCFO

Led by a CPA and MBA with 20+ years in finance leadership across aged care, NDIS and global corporates, and current board experience.

Experience that helps you make decisions.

Healthcare finance experience across cash flow forecasting, board reporting and funding changes. Practical advice grounded in the financial pressures providers face.

FrankCFO brings that judgement to healthcare owners who need a senior finance partner part-time. Someone to look at the cash, challenge an assumption and answer the phone before a decision becomes a problem.

Frank is how we work.

It is not a person’s name. It means you get a straight answer, including when the numbers do not support the plan. We work alongside your team and your tax accountant, not around them.

Based in Melbourne, working remotely across Australia. Names, employer details and client identities are kept off this page.

From the work

When the numbers stop being a worry you carry alone.

Anonymised client examples. Names and identifying details are withheld. These are individual outcomes, not a promise of the same result for every business.

Home care provider

Their accounts said they were insolvent. They weren’t.

The situation: A founder-led Support at Home provider opened its July accounts to a large loss and negative net assets. The regulator’s quarterly report had already been lodged.
What we found: $41.4K of credit notes had been backdated after the quarterly report went in. $83.6K of receipts was about to be recoded and counted twice. The loss came from accounting errors, not from the business. Unpaid PAYG withholding also raised personal penalty risk for directors.
What we did: We fixed the ledger in the right order and took the compliance risk straight to the CEO. Then we wrote a six-policy financial manual to reduce the risk of it happening again.
The result: About $125K of errors caught before they reached the regulator again. The directors’ PAYG exposure was cleared.

Multi-entity aged care provider

Nine problems in one year’s accounts. The team had never done a month-end close.

The situation: A two-entity aged care group with a keen but inexperienced finance team was facing its first Aged Care Financial Report.
What we found: Nine issues in the year’s accounts. The biggest was grouped payroll tax calculated wrongly across the two entities, leading to penalties and interest. Depreciation was missing and June revenue was under-recognised.
What we did: We wrote a month-end manual using their own accounts and figures, then walked the team through their first full close.
The result: The team now closes the month on its own, to an auditable standard. The payroll tax calculation was corrected.

NDIS and allied health practice

No bookkeeper, no handover, and an office manager who’d never used Xero.

The situation: The owner needed the books done in-house but had nobody with accounting experience.
What we found: The immediate need was someone who could keep the basic books moving, without leaving the owner to train them between appointments.
What we did: We coached the office manager from zero to running the basic bookkeeping in Xero, alongside grant and restructuring advice for the owner.
The result: Books up to date within 6 weeks.
