About Us
What We Do
We know that financial management can be a challenge when you’re trying to lead a business.
Olive Business Partners can provide all the expertise that is typically covered by a CFO - advice on revenue growth and cash flow management, strategic planning, implementing process improvements, analysis for commercial decisions, developing financial capability, and providing recommendations on spending, financing, and risk management. However, hiring a full-time CFO at a high salary may not be feasible or the right fit for a more agile business. Olive Business Partners can provide flexible finance support so you can focus on growing your business.

Why We Do It
At Olive Business Partners, we want to see sustainable and profitable growth for our clients. We believe that the combination of profit and purpose is what keeps a business thriving.
The olive tree is the longest living fruit tree and is able to thrive in tough conditions. These are the values we bring when working with our clients - ensuring longevity, building resilience, enabling growth, creating abundance, and working collaboratively to flourish. We're here to support businesses at every stage of their journey, from tiny seedlings to flourishing olive groves.

With Olive Business Partners, your business can access an experienced CFO’s expertise on a flexible basis that suits your business needs. Whether you prefer remote assistance, on-site support (available in Melbourne), or a blend of both, we can provide ongoing and project-based options to accommodate your requirements.
