As a dedicated business coaching and consulting practice, we work with founders, leaders, and purpose-driven teams to align strategy with long-term growth. Whether you are launching, refining, or ready to attract more clients, our tailored coaching and mentoring provide clarity, structure, and momentum — so you can lead with confidence and impact. We provide comprehensive, tailored support that covers every stage of your business journey — from planning and financial mentoring to marketing and execution. No matter your industry or business model, we give you the frameworks, clarity, and hands-on guidance you need to accelerate growth confidently and avoid costly missteps.

Strategic Consulting Backed by Academic and Business Expertise​

Led by an experienced ex-academic lecturer with advanced qualifications in economics, finance, and accounting—and certified in change management for small and medium-sized businesses—I bring strategic insight combined with hands-on experience. I have worked closely with CEOs, CFOs, leadership teams of large and mid-sized organisations, as well as small businesses and trades. This breadth of experience enables me to deliver tailored solutions that drive measurable growth and lasting impact across diverse industries.

How We Help You Increase Sales & Attract Clients

You’ve probably seen promises like:

  • “Build a sales funnel and your income will skyrocket!”

  • “Launch an online course and make six figures fast!”

  • “Work 4 hours a week and make passive income!”

 

Most done-for-you programs create dependency, keeping clients paying for results they never fully control. We do the opposite: we share insider knowledge and actively guide you to take action in the areas that generate real financial results, so you can run your business end-to-end — profitably and confidently.

The current marketing trends are full of sugar-coated promises: quick fixes, “hacks,” and flashy shortcuts that play on your problems to make them irresistible. But when these strategies don’t deliver, it’s not the system or your effort that’s at fault. It’s the hype. Many entrepreneurs then feel inadequate, never realizing that the marketing trend itself was built on illusion.

We don’t insist you follow a preset path. Instead, we work with you to:

  • Identify where you truly shine

  • Avoid strategies that waste your time and money

  • Build solid foundations for sustainable growth

  • Attract clients without constantly chasing them

  • Learn authentic startup marketing techniques to grow your business and strengthen your brand

 

With experience across multiple areas of business, we provide an integrated approach that ensures every piece fits together—helping you avoid patchy, scattered advice and instead build a business that operates seamlessly and delivers long-lasting results.

How Can You Get Better Results?

By Being coachable.

 

We often see highly ambitious, independent founders trying to do everything themselves. They test what’s already been proven, spin in circles, and push forward without guidance — only to hit frustration, overwhelm, and lost momentum.

Many only realize too late that expert support could have saved time, energy, and missed opportunities. Being open to coaching or mentorship doesn’t take away your independence — it gives you a faster, smoother, and more productive path. By embracing guidance early, you can build with clarity, avoid unnecessary setbacks, and achieve results that match your ambition.

Your One-Stop Solution 

We offer a comprehensive suite of services to accelerate your business growth — from startup development and change management to business name and domain registration. Our strategic advisory, financial mentoring, and digital strategy support give you the clarity, confidence, and foundation you need to scale sustainably and thrive long-term.

Compass Coaching And Consulting Australia Reviews

Before I started working with Compass I was lost and confused about how to build my coaching business. All the information out there was just creating more confusion for me. I didn’t know where and how to start. Working with Compass gave me clarity and understanding of the basics of business start-up. They made all the steps easy and achievable towards creating my business. They helped me to build the structure and solid ground of the business admin. Now I feel confident and ready to take off with my online business. I can recommend Compass Coaching and Consulting with my whole heart for any new entrepreneur who wants to create and start their Business.

Eliza, Wellness Coach

I manage a small allied health practice and building. My website required updating and reformatting. Compass Coaching and Consulting worked in a very professional, efficient and productive way. They listened to my needs and worked collaboratively, communicating clearly at each step. The website now flows and is more user friendly. Making it easier for potential clients to navigate.

Dr Sandra Porter

Building Manager and Allied Health Practitioner

When I first started my business in trades, I had no idea how hard it would be to actually get clients. I spent a lot on marketing that didn’t bring in much work, and I felt pretty stuck. That’s when I got in touch with Compass Coaching And Consulting. They didn’t just give me generic advice — they really worked with me to build up my profile and figure out what would actually work for my kind of business. Over time, the difference was huge. I started getting more calls, more referrals, and eventually, I had steady work when a lot of others in the same trade were struggling to find jobs. It didn’t happen overnight, but they helped me build something solid. I’m really glad I found them when I did.

Ryan 

Golden Painting and Decorating Group

I run a small health business. I was struggling with choosing a business name, understanding the rules, finding a domain, and introducing my course. Compass’s friendly and supportive culture helped me choose the right path and options. Now I feel more confident entering the Australian business market.

Dr Fara, Medical Education Consultant

I am someone who’s new to the world of business and am having trouble navigating my way around it. I found Compass Coaching and Consulting and they provided me with exactly what I needed. They gave me clear paths, and with a huge breadth of knowledge in business, I was able to get on track. From there I completed my ABN and have created a clear structure on my social media presence and am about to launch a big advertising campaign. I am more motivated, have a clear direction and am confident I can achieve my goals now. I’m very grateful for the support I received with Compass Coaching and Consulting and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to take their business to the next level.

Ethan, Early-Stage Founder

Working with Compass Coaching And Consulting Australia has truly been a turning point for our firm. They guided us in redefining our brand to better reflect the trust, empathy, and professionalism our clients value most. Since implementing these changes, we’ve seen a clear increase in client inquiries — particularly from families looking for approachable and trustworthy legal support. Their strategic insight gave us the clarity and direction we needed to stand out in a competitive market. The results have exceeded our expectations, and our clients have responded with overwhelmingly positive feedback.
