Feeling overwhelmed by your business finance?

Introducing...

The Small Business Foundations Course

The self-paced online program designed for trade businesses and maintenance franchises in their first five years to master their business foundations, ensuring stronger cash flow, profitability and growth.

Imagine your business finances running like a well-oiled machine
Here's what's possible when you take control

You open Xero with confidence - no surprises lurking. Why? Because you’ve mastered your break-even point.

Your BAS? Already sorted. Staying on top of obligations has become second nature.

Payroll? Taken care of seamlessly because you’ve nailed the why, how, and when of every moving piece.

And forecasts? No longer daunting but exciting, giving you a clear vision for the road ahead.

 
Does this sound like a pipe dream?
Not anymore

We know the headaches of trying to keep up with obligations, deadlines, and complex numbers - especially when you’re a tradie or maintenance franchise owner who’d rather focus on the tools than the tax tables.

But here’s the truth:

Understanding your business numbers doesn’t have to be a nightmare. And it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune in accountant fees every month.

With the right roadmap, you can transform your financials from a burden into your business’s biggest asset.

Small business foundations course

The self-paced online program for aspiring or new business owners like you ready to own your decisions, master your cashflow and navigate your obligations with ease.

Mark Rutherford, Aether Air

“Accounting Navigator has been a game-changer for our business! They’ve helped us navigate the tricky world of tax, bookkeeping, payroll, and accounting with ease. Thanks to their expertise, we’ve streamlined our finances and stayed on top of our cashflow, tax obligations and pay roll, letting us focus on what we do best. Their support has made a huge difference, and we couldn't be happier with their service."

We understand your business - because we've lived it

It's devastating to see that 60% of small business owners fail in the first 3 years. Something that can often be avoided by ticking off a few critical steps right at the start.

We understand the unique demands of your industry - from staying on top of fluctuating cash flow to managing compliance requirements that seem to change with the seasons.


At Accounting Navigator, we know these challenges firsthand. Our team comes from trade families and has worked with countless trade businesses and maintenance franchise clients through our accounting firm, The Enterprise Edge.

That real-world experience shapes everything we do.
