Financial strategy consulting for your small business

Running your business without a financial strategy is like taking a road trip to a random destination. You think you know where you’d like to end up, and why – except… You don’t have a map or any idea if there’s enough fuel to get you there.

When you have a financial strategy for your small business, the way ahead becomes clear. 

Your initial data helps you identify the positives and negatives of your current position. And you have transparency about your running costs.

This leads to clarity about your cash flow and the direction your business is taking. And allows you to plan next steps for your business that align with your purpose. 

My diverse commercial experience means I can help you with all aspects of your financial strategy. 

I spent over 11 years managing the financial strategy for a large investment fund. So, I’m competent using a range of financial tools such as three-way cash flow forecasting and budgeting. 

You can trust me to make the complex details of a financial strategy accessible to others with less passion for numbers. And to connect financial strategy with purpose.

 ‘Narelle’s willingness to learn about our goals and plans meant that we were getting a solution tailor-made for us, not something ‘off the shelf’. As a small business owner focused on looking for growth, we were looking for someone to help us navigate the waters of financial strategy and future development. We found that in Narelle. Knowing that she is there with us over the next years as we enact this strategy gives us great confidence.”

The Volta Consulting difference

Volta Consulting is bridging the gap between profit and purpose to improve the world – one small business at a time.

There’s been a long-held belief that it’s up to big business or government bodies to fix problems, create social impact and drive change. 

As Volta’s founder, I am shaking up the status quo. 

Many small business owners understand they have the power to create a positive impact on the community or environment in which they operate. But they’re not sure what to do, or how to get started – they’re seeking guidance. I  launched Volta Consulting to help with that.’

Volta offers new perspectives and practical strategies to build profitable small businesses that drive social change. AND create a positive impact in the world.

‘Globally, 94% of consumers said it is important that the companies they engage with have a strong Purpose…’
