Engagement options

Every engagement begins with a Clarity Review to understand your goals, challenges, and where you’d like more focus or structure. 

From there, we’ll provide the following support options to suit, which can be short-term or ongoing.

  • GROWTH BLUEPRINT: a once-off business review that gives direction and next steps
  • BUSINESS COACHING: regular 1-2 hour sessions for progress, learning, and accountability
  • FRACTIONAL CFO+ SUPPORT : financial insight with the benefit of wider strategic and operational experience. Typically for a number of days per month or blocks of ad-hoc time

Pricing and next steps

Let's get started

Growth Blueprints can be produced for as little as $1000 + GST. A focused review that identifies where your business stands, where you want it to go, and the practical steps to get there. A roadmap with built-in flexibility so that you can keep momentum.

Coaching sessions start from $150 + GST per hour. A dedicated space for problem-solving, learning, and keeping your goals on target.

Fractional CFO+ support is more integrated within your business and is priced to reflect complexity, effort, and time. Ideal when you need financial insight, governance, and steady leadership alongside you, without adding a full-time role.

As a small business advisor in Tasmania, Scruton Advisory provides clarity, structure, and experienced guidance to help you move forward with confidence.

Questions we're often asked

That’s completely normal – most founders feel the same. We start with a simple Clarity Review, a structured method we use that helps us to understand your goals, challenges, and where support will have the biggest impact. It’s obligation-free and often brings focus right away.

Let’s have a coffee or a phone call to see where you’re at!

Not at all. Our first chat is at no cost, and you’ll quickly know whether we’re a good fit. You can start with a one-off Growth Blueprint, or commit to a few coaching sessions and decide from there. Many clients begin small, get quick wins, and then choose to keep working together to keep that momentum.

Not every founder wants to grow in size and complexity, but every business has opportunities to grow in strength, clarity, and capability. We’ve worked with founders who’ve wanted to:

  • Increase sales / income / revenue
  • Diversify revenue streams
  • Expand into new markets or sectors
  • Improve profitability
  • Add people to expand capacity and reduce dependency on the founder
  • Mature their planning processes to better seize opportunities and manage risk 

You’ll finish with a meaningful document you can hold in your hands – a roadmap to move forward at your own pace. It’s designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a renewed perspective on where your business fits within its ecosystem.

We’re committed to supporting Tasmania’s success and work with founders across creative services, construction, IT, manufacturing, transport – and more. We get up to speed quickly, learning the context and nuances of your industry, so we can apply our knowledge and experience in a way that’s relevant and practical from day one.

A fractional Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is an at-call, executive-level resource who brings the financial and strategic oversight without the full-time cost. It’s most valuable when your business is growing, transforming, or optimising – and you need sharper visibility over performance, pricing, or direction.

Because CFOs have worked across both operations and strategy, they can quickly translate numbers into actions that strengthen decision-making and momentum. Modern CFOs don’t just look at the financials; they also draw from other data and insights within your business to provide a more holistic view.

You may benefit from this type of resource if you:

  • Have a tender to respond to
  • Want to develop your bookkeeper or accountant in-house
  • Need regular or ad-hoc performance insights and reporting
  • Prefer a CFO alongside you when engaging with suppliers, investors, or other stakeholders
  • Have a specific project that needs leadership (system or process reviews, audit response, pricing, or business setup are some examples)
