Business advisory services adelaide
business advisory services to drive sustainable growth and support business owners in south australia to make better decisions
I provide personalised business advisory services and coaching backed by extensive leadership and management experience
Effective business planning while managing day-to-day operations isn’t easy. Whether it’s balancing competing priorities, risk management, effective use of people and resources or maintaining compliance, they all present business owners with a range of challenges.
Planning to exit a business can likewise be difficult to navigate. Business owners need to maintain operations while effectively managing assets, cash flow, reporting, investment and tax obligations in order to enhance the business' financial position ahead of any sale.
If you are looking for a business advisor to assist you to achieve your goals, or develop a successful exit strategy wherever in South Australia you're located, get in touch with me, Jane Carey on 0417 817 781 or email jane@careyadvisory.com.au.
Why work with a specialist Adelaide business advisor?
I work with South Australian businesses in a range of industries and sectors, and assist clients to achieve their business goals, including sustainable growth, building a team and navigating a successful exit.
Whether it's developing new strategies, enhancing leadership, managing the workforce or any other business needs, I provide tailored support and strategic solutions that enable you to work towards your objectives with clarity, confidence and focus.
If you’re committed to business growth, are looking to recruit and retain teams, or are preparing for a successful exit, I’m here to support you with expert advice and real-world experience. Utilising my extensive background in business ownership and management, together we will identify what’s working and uncover what’s not so that you are able to make informed decisions about the direction of your business.
Where are
your challenges?
Business owners in Adelaide face a variety of challenges, including managing costs, compliance, optimising performance and funding growth.
I provide a wide range of business advisory services, including tailored support and solutions, to help clients overcome these and other challenges, and to achieve their objectives.
Managing daily demands
You’re overwhelmed by daily demands and being pulled in different directions
The daily demands of running a business mean that you are constantly being pulled in different directions. Whether it's an SME in the Adelaide CBD or a family enterprise in regional South Australia, simply keeping things going can be time consuming and means you don't have the bandwidth to create an effective business strategy, develop your team, or prepare your business for a successful sale. I provide support and advisory services that enable you to step back and reassess your priorities with greater clarity and confidence.
people management
Managing staff feels harder than it should and takes a lot of your time
Managing a workforce can be time consuming, especially for small businesses that don't have an in-house HR team to lean on. If staff issues like hiring, overseeing performance and managing team dynamics are preventing you from undertaking productive business planning, you need practical advice to assist you in leading your people more effectively. As an experienced business adviser with a background in recruitment, I help businesses to develop strategies that deliver improved team performance, greater operational efficiency, and better business outcomes.
business strategy & growth
You know where you want to go (or you think you do)…..but you’re stuck
Most Adelaide business owners have a vision about where they want to go, but turning this into clear business goals, and having the confidence to implement these plans, can sometimes be difficult. I support businesses and assist them to move forward with purpose and stay on track through strategic and financial planning, whether the goal is business growth, investment for entry into new markets, expanding the workforce, reducing costs to make operations more affordable, or setting your business up to make it ready for sale.
exiting your business
You may want to sell your business in the future but you are unsure where to start
You may be looking to sell your business soon, or at some time in the future, but are unsure where to start. Day-to-day business operations can make it hard to find time to plan, so you need clear advice on how to begin the process of preparing your business for sale, or when to start. Planning when exiting a business is essential, and I specialise in providing support and guidance to help Adelaide business owners to build systems, strengthen teams and improve profitability in order to prove that the enterprise is able to operate without the current owner ahead of a potential sale.
Jane has been an incredible support throughout our time working together. Her warm approach, combined with her depth of knowledge and practical guidance, has helped me take my business to the next level — refining my time management, strengthening my systems, and most importantly, increasing profitability. She is always available to answer questions or jump on a quick call when challenges arise. Having someone so experienced, approachable and genuinely invested in your success truly makes all the difference.

She brings excellent structure to each session, asks exactly the right questions, and delivers advice and intelligence that genuinely moves the needle. If you're a founder or business owner looking for someone who adds real value to how you think and operate — Jane is the person.
Georgi
If you're a business owner who's ever felt like you're drinking from a fire hose, Jane is your person. With 25 years building and successfully exiting her own business, she's genuinely lived it - the wins, the chaos and everything in between. What I love most about Jane is her ability to walk into a storm, calmly assess the situation and hand you back a clear, simple path forward. She listens, she gets it, and she helps you cut through the noise. If you need someone in your corner who has the runs on the board, look no further.
