I find the Annual Business Planning and Cashflow Forecasting with Matt at Ake Accounting extremely valuable.

In a nutshell it takes the dreams and visions I have for business and puts them into a measurable and accountable format that I use through the year to stay on target to achieve them. Matt is passionate about what he does and enjoys supporting us to be successful in what we're passionate about.

The whole process is a relaxed atmosphere that I find enjoyable. Looking forward to smashing this years KPI's! "

One of Douwe's best qualities is his ability to keep you accountable for the decisions you make. His consistent communication and strong interpersonal skills reflect both his professionalism and relatability, especially during our weekly and fortnightly hui.

Through business coaching with Douwe, I’ve been able to clearly identify the direction I want to take in the future. Any time spent with Douwe would be extremely beneficial for any business owner looking to gain new knowledge, insight, and skills to enhance their business capacity and move closer to their bigger picture.
