Finance, data and operations. Problems solved.

Business Consulting Plus helps organisations solve complex business, financial, operational and data challenges through practical, hands-on solutions.

01/Firm

Analyse, design, implement. Measure the outcome.

Rather than simply identifying problems, we work with clients to analyse underlying causes, design solutions, implement systems and deliver measurable outcomes.

Business Consulting Plus brings over 30 years' proven expertise across finance, operations, systems and data to deliver solutions that are practical, measurable and sustainable. Our work spans healthcare, government, construction, telecommunications, tourism and professional services, from Cairns, Queensland, across Australia. We have maintained client relationships since inception in July 2013.

Selected achievements include developing an award-winning compliance platform that reduced audit preparation from two days to two hours, delivering predictive analytics for local government water management, designing systems supporting payroll and asset management for large-scale infrastructure projects, and implementing automated financial and operational reporting systems across multiple industries.

03/Approach

Six steps from problem to outcome.

Every engagement follows the same shape regardless of whether the brief is an analysis, a system build, or both.

  1. 01

    Listen

    Understand the problem, the business context and what a good outcome actually looks like for this organisation.

  2. 02

    Analyse

    Work through the underlying causes, not just the surface symptoms. Many problems that have not been resolved are being addressed at the wrong level.

  3. 03

    Design

    Develop a practical solution matched to the actual problem. Technology is only introduced where it solves something real.

  4. 04

    Build

    Implement the solution with the right tools for the brief, not the tools we happen to prefer.

  5. 05

    Train

    Transfer knowledge to users and stakeholders so the solution actually gets used. A system that is not understood does not deliver.

  6. 06

    Measure

    Track outcomes against the original brief and refine where required. The measure of success is the outcome, not the delivery.

04/Questions

Things people ask before we start.

If your question is not here, the contact section is the fastest way to a straight answer. Replies within one business day.

What types of problems do you solve?
We are typically engaged when a business has a problem that has not been successfully resolved, reporting systems are not providing useful information, compliance requirements are difficult to manage, data exists but is not being converted into actionable insights, processes are inefficient or heavily dependent on manual effort, or executives require better information to support decision making.
What industries do you work across?
We have delivered work across healthcare, indigenous organisations, local government, construction, telecommunications, tourism and hospitality, property development and professional services. The problems we solve tend to recur across industries more than they differ by sector.
Do you work with organisations outside Queensland?
Yes. Business Consulting Plus is based in Cairns, Queensland, and works with organisations across Australia. Engagements are delivered with a mix of on-site and remote work depending on what the brief requires.
Can you handle both the analysis and the build?
Yes. Rather than simply identifying problems, we work with clients to analyse issues, design solutions, implement systems and deliver measurable outcomes. The same team works across the full engagement from diagnosis through to delivery and training.
What does a typical engagement look like?
We listen and understand the problem, analyse the underlying causes, design a practical solution, build and implement it, train users and stakeholders, and then measure outcomes against the brief. Some engagements are focused projects with a defined scope and end date. Others evolve into ongoing partnerships as the organisation grows or new problems emerge.
Do you offer fixed-price work?
Yes. Discrete projects are scoped and quoted at a fixed price against a written brief. Ongoing partnerships are agreed at a fixed monthly retainer. We do not invoice by surprise.
How quickly can you start?
Initial enquiries are answered within one business day. A written proposal typically follows within two weeks of the first scoping conversation, depending on the size and complexity of the brief.
