Bookkeeping, Accounting & CFO Support
Flexible bookkeeping, payroll, reporting and CFO advisory support for growing small and medium sized businesses
Start with clean books. Add clarity. Scale into CFO-level support when the decisions get bigger. Metric will partner with you every step of the way
Three tiers of finance partnership — from clean books to strategic decision support.
Choose the level that fits where your business is today
TIER 1
Foundations
YOUR SITUATION
Xero is a mess, behind on your BAS, expense management & invoice processing taking up too much time, unsure as to whether the business is making money, cash balance is enough
METRIC OUTCOME
House is in order. ATO obligations are met, accounts make sense, a proper finance back-office and system. You’re focused on growing your business not managing admin

TIER 2
Clarity
YOUR SITUATION
You have clean books but no real visibility. You find out how the business performed at year end — or when your accountant tells you. No budget to measure against, no dashboard, no sense of what's driving the numbers. You're making decisions on gut feel.
METRIC OUTCOME
You know your numbers every month. A clear reporting pack, variance commentary and a short video from your finance partner lands in your inbox — so you always know where you stand, what's working and what needs attention.

TIER 3
Fractional CFO
YOUR SITUATION
The business is growing but the financial complexity is growing faster. You're facing bigger decisions — on pricing, on hiring, on capital — and you don't have anyone senior enough to pressure-test them with you. Your accountant does the tax. Nobody is thinking about the business.
METRIC OUTCOME
You have a senior finance partner in your corner. Someone who knows your numbers, challenges your assumptions, builds the models and sits alongside you on the decisions that matter. Strategic finance — without the full-time cost.

From strong business to sharper numbers

South Beach Aperitivo
Clean books, clear numbers, more time
South Beach Aperitivo built WA's first Aperitivo brand in five years. But the systems hadn't kept up — month-end was manual, reporting didn't reflect how the business actually sold, and excise tax was a time-consuming headache every month.
Metric came in, systemised the back-office and built reporting that gave the founders a real view of performance — so they could spend less time in spreadsheets and more time growing the brand.
