For those who are new here, I thought I'd properly reintroduce myself.

I'm Nicole.

I grew up in a family trade business and have spent most of my life around trades, workshops, job sites and people who aren't afraid of hard work.

I'm a mum to two incredible girls, an accountant by trade, a trade business owner by choice, and someone who is always planning the next adventure. If I'm not working, you'll usually find me horse riding, getting things done outside, listening to live music, or dreaming up my next trip.

I'm that kid who watched my Dad build businesses, make mistakes, backed himself when it would have been easier not to, and learned that success isn't just about money. A business should be about creating freedom, choice and a life you actually enjoy living.

One of the things people tell me I'm good at is creating clarity from chaos. I love taking complicated problems, messy numbers and overwhelming situations and helping people see a clear path forward.

I care deeply about helping people believe in themselves, often before they believe in themselves. There's nothing I enjoy more than watching a Tradie go from stressed, overwhelmed and uncertain to confident, in control and excited about what's possible.

The reason Tradie CFO exists is personal.

My dad worked incredibly hard his entire life. Like many tradies, he carried a lot of responsibility and always put providing for his first which meant he missed all those moments at home. Losing him far too young changed the way I look at business, success and life.

It reinforced something I already knew: no Tradie should work harder than they need to and still miss out on the life they're working so hard to build.

That's why I do what I do.

Thanks for being here and following along on the journey

Profit verses Turnover. Know the Difference 📈

Big turnover can look like success. You have plenty of work booked, money moving through your accounts and a busy calendar.

But turnover isn’t what you keep, profit is.

Once you take out labour, materials, overheads, fuel, tax and other costs, the number that really matters is what’s left. That’s your profit.

A business can turn over big numbers every year and still feel constantly tight on cash if the margins aren’t right. That’s why understanding your numbers matters.

Not just how much work you’re doing, but how much each job is actually making. Focus on profit, not just workload.

Big Results for Trades

Most tradies don’t struggle from lack of work, they struggle from lack of financial visibility.

The fastest-growing businesses focus on three things:
• Knowing their real margins: what each job actually makes after labour, materials and overheads.
• Cash flow forecasting: planning 30–90 days ahead so growth doesn’t turn into stress.
• Simple financial systems: the right numbers each week to make better decisions.

When tradies understand their numbers, everything changes:
• Higher profit per job
• Less stress around wages and tax
• Confidence to hire and grow

Busy Doesn’t Always Mean Healthy 🔧

You can be flat out with work and still feel unsure about cash flow, profit, or what the business can actually afford. That’s where a Business Health Check helps.

Tradie CFO looks at the numbers behind the business, so you can see what’s working, what’s not, and where to improve.

Because a strong business should do more than keep you busy, it should give you confidence.

Managing invoices, expenses, payroll, and reconciliations can quickly become overwhelming. When you’re busy on-site or managing jobs, paperwork is the last thing you want to worry about.

When your accounts are managed properly:
You avoid costly mistakes
You stay compliant
You make better financial decisions
You reduce stress and save time

With Tradie CFO, no more late nights. No more wondering where the cash went. More time for what you do best.
