Not just a numbers guy.
Tim Howell’s passion is to help Australian businesses achieve financial stability and potential scale and growth.
COVID further solidified this direction, as he realised so many businesses would not survive the pandemic. He encountered many that were under immense financial pressure and stress, and he strove to assist by accessing the government’s COVID support for them.
He also saw that many businesses required help beyond what traditionally a bookkeeper and an accountant would offer- they wanted the knowledge (and some, the ongoing support) to implement better financial habits and to have a solid financial plan towards their business goals. Someone that could work as an extension of their team, knowing the ins and outs of the business and guiding them with a personalised financial strategy.
At The Numbers Guy, we want every business to prosper, grow and fulfil its owners dreams – whether that is financial security or a lifestyle business enabling more time with family and friends.

Small businesses are agile and can change offerings and processes much quicker than big organisations bound in red-tape.
Once, large businesses invested millions to deploy cutting edge systems to give them an advantage. Now, these systems are available to small businesses in the click of a button via the cloud. Just look at all the offerings in the Xero marketplace.
More and more, people are seeing the economic and social advantages of shopping local in small business, as opposed to going to large chains. Would you rather a new café or a McDonalds in your suburb?
