We started vastrinova because small business owners kept telling us the same thing—they needed finance help that actually made sense. Not corporate jargon. Not one-size-fits-all advice. Just practical guidance from people who get what running a small business is really like.
Most finance services talk about complex strategies and sophisticated systems. That's fine if you're running a multinational. But when you're juggling customer calls, inventory issues, and staff schedules? You need something different.
We built vastrinova around what small business owners actually need—clear cash flow visibility, straightforward tax prep support, and financial planning that doesn't require a finance degree to understand. The stuff that helps you sleep better at night.
Our team works exclusively with Australian small businesses. We know the ATO requirements, understand seasonal cash flow patterns in retail and services, and we've helped plenty of businesses navigate everything from growth phases to the inevitable rough patches.
These aren't corporate values written for a website. They're the principles we work by every day.
Finance has enough complexity without adding unnecessary technical terms. We explain things in normal English—the way you'd talk to a business partner over coffee, not how an accounting textbook sounds.
Tax deadlines and cash flow problems don't wait for scheduled appointments. We answer emails within hours, not days. And when you call during business hours, you reach someone who knows your situation.
Sometimes the right answer is "you don't need our help with that" or "wait six months before making that decision." We'd rather give you straight advice than sell you something you don't need.
I spent eight years at a big accounting firm before starting vastrinova. The work was fine, but I kept seeing small business clients who needed something more hands-on than what traditional firms offered.
What frustrated me most was watching capable business owners struggle with financial decisions—not because they couldn't understand the concepts, but because everything was explained in needlessly complicated ways. They'd leave meetings more confused than when they arrived.
vastrinova exists to change that. Our clients understand their financial position. They know what their numbers mean, why certain decisions matter, and what their options are. That's the baseline—not some premium service level.
Outside of work, I volunteer with the Port Stephens Business Chamber helping new businesses with their initial setup. It keeps me connected to what people actually need when they're starting out.
Every business is different, but our process stays consistent. Here's what working together looks like.
We review your current financial setup—bookkeeping systems, tax structure, cash flow patterns. This takes about 90 minutes and gives us a clear picture of where you're starting from.
Based on that review, we identify what needs immediate attention versus what can wait. Sometimes it's cleaning up bookkeeping backlog. Other times it's restructuring how you handle GST. We map out a realistic timeline.
Most clients meet with us monthly or quarterly, depending on their business complexity. These aren't formal presentations—they're working sessions where we review numbers together and address current questions.
Between scheduled meetings, you reach us by email or phone whenever questions come up. We're not gatekeepers—if you need clarification on something, just ask. That's literally what you're paying for.
We work with clients throughout NSW, but our office is right here in Salamander Bay. Easy parking, actual coffee nearby, and a meeting room where we can spread out your paperwork.
