Your business is making good money. You still can't tell where it goes.

Join Shaye Thyer and a small group of women for a private dinner in Brisbane. Everyone at the table gets real with their numbers out loud, and leaves knowing what it takes to be the one in control of them.

WHO IS AT THIS TABLE

This dinner is for you if you're a consultant, practice or agency owner, advisor, facilitator or coach... 

...and whatever the business looks like from the outside, you're chief of everything inside it. You might have a team, contractors, an assistant. People are still buying you.
  • Revenue is ahead of last year and what you actually pay yourself hasn't moved.
  • Your prices were set against a cost base you've never actually calculated.
  • The tax bill lands as a surprise and you cover it from whatever's in the account
  • ​Two or three clients are most of your income, and you've stopped letting yourself think about what happens if one goes.
  • ​Someone told you to stay under the GST threshold, then mansplained your own numbers back to you.
  • ​You've had this conversation with nobody, because there's no room where you can say the numbers out loud without fear of judgement.
It's time to take control of the money
ONE TABLE, ONE EVENING

An event curated to uncover what's holding the money side of your business back.

No lanyards. No weird pitching. Women at similar stages talk honestly about pricing, cash, what they pay themselves, who they're relying on and what the tax is doing — the challenges that fall on deaf ears with thier accountant once a year and are raised with peers almost never.

Shaye brings what she sees across her client base and where the same challenges keep turning up. You bring yours. Nothing said at the table leaves it.

It won't suit you if:

  • The business runs without you now. The table is for women still at the centre of it.
  • You already have an in-house finance team or a CFO.
  • You'd rather not talk about money in front of other people.
  • You want tax tips, to manifest better cash flow and/or app recommendations.
  • You're after a networking event with cringy name badges and elevator pitches.

My margin was ridiculously good this year. I doubled my turnover and 2.5x my profit from the year before.  
Remember when we said a $1 million turnover was achievable in a few years?

Who is Shaye Thyer?

Fellow of Chartered Accountants ANZ
CA ANZ Certified Public Practitioner 
Top 50 Influential Women in Accounting
014 (2)_edited.jpg
Shaye Thyer is a chartered accountant and a financial feminist who helps women founders and CEOs take control of the money.

She spent more than twenty years in financial services — accounting, technology, advisory and business transformation — before starting her CFO advisory practice.

Running her own business has taught her what advising on them never had. The realities facing a woman founder are not comparable to those facing the typical middle-aged male entrepreneur, and the profession built to serve business owners is still built around him. It talks over her, keeps the numbers vague, and leaves her to work it out alone. That is why Shaye now works only with women, and why she has built her practice around now several hundred of them.
With a portfolio of multiple businesses across professional services, ecommerce and product development, Shaye is at the frontline of the same daily challenges her clients face in their businesses.  She is not an adviser looking in from the outside. She lives this every day.

Across her client work, the same thing keeps coming up. The woman who can't explain her own margin is almost never bad at her job. She is the one nobody has ever sat down and walked through it with. Not her accountant. Not her bookkeeper. Not the business coach she paid through the nose for. Closing that gap is the work: pricing, cash, tax, and what an owner actually takes home.  Delivering profit by design that honors her clients' dreams.
 

Financial feminism is the belief that equal rights must include equal access to wealth, security and choice. Our focus on women reflects the systemic gaps that still shape financial outcomes – and our commitment to helping close them.

​

We humbly acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the unceded land on which we live and work.  We stand in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and First Nations women the world over in their fight for self-determination, recognition and justice.

​

We are an inclusive and diverse community open to all.  When we use the term 'women,' we refer to cis women, trans women and non-binary individuals.
