NDIS Financial Advisory & Disability Accountant/DFC

When you might need Disability Financial Clarity

DFC may be able to help if:

• revenue is increasing but cash flow or margins remain under pressure;

• labour and workforce costs are higher than expected;

• you cannot clearly determine which services are financially sustainable;

• you are considering opening, expanding or changing a service;

• you are concerned about the financial viability of a SIL home; or

• your board or management team needs clearer financial, performance and risk information.

You do not need to know exactly which service you require before contacting me. The initial discussion will help identify the issue and the most appropriate next step.
