We engaged Greg and Joshna to provide us with the required focus and direction to develop a strategy for our business. Running a business can be tough with no one to support you especially when making significant business decisions. Indeed, it’s a great thing to know that not only someone genuinely cares about how you are doing but also know exactly what to say or do to help you. Not many people have the wisdom and passion on what they do, and Greg and Joshna seemed to have it in them. Their experience in business is clearly delineated by the way they conduct themselves and the focus and knowledge they are able to impart.

KRA Wealth Management
Having recently been promoted to a partnership role at KRA Wealth Management, Joshna was instrumental in providing ongoing support to me throughout the first six months in my role.
Meeting on a regular basis, Joshna acted as an independent sounding board, providing excellent insight and advice with respect to the leaderships aspects of my role. This included the ongoing coaching of a team of financial advisers and providing structure to my communication with them. Beyond this she was able to provide suggestions around communicating with the directors of the business, around various strategic decisions we needed to consider.
I look back on the growth I have experienced in my role (both as an adviser and in the leadership capacity), and see a new sense of confidence in how I approach both of these as a result of the work with Joshna.

Pivit Pty Ltd
Before we had Greg come on board Pivit was under its usual pressure and not quite getting things to improve on consistent basis. Since Greg has come onboard he has put us through a process driven set of tasks that has led to Pivit having a clear vision of where it is going and a feeling that the business is getting easier and easier to run.
This has led to me being able to spend more time creating the vision for the future and steering the ship in that direction with ease. At the time Greg got involved I was personally going through a major upheaval in my personal life and my stress levels were very high, now I feel if something major was to happen I could handle it easily as the business is running so much better now.
Greg acts a mentor and confidant that I can call on when I need someone with the right skill level, understanding of business and understanding of my business to discuss things, bounce ideas and lead the business to good quality outcomes. This is a very valuable asset for the Pivit business and me.
On top of this he just keeps us all on task and accountable to what we say we need to do for the business. This keeps us on track and ensures that strategic decisions are continually being implemented. Pivit now has a clear direction and focus that is systematically being implemented, I am now working ‘on’ the business with the right team around me, a forward business opportunity pipeline and a business that has is in the best shape financially it has ever been in.
All of this and I am handling it with ease. Just to top it off, Greg is just a great bloke to work with. Thanks Greg and your team.

Greg and Joshna have become an integral component of our company, assisting me in driving the company through these challenging times.
Their guidance, invaluable input and composed demeanour have proven to be an instrumental asset to our company. I cannot speak highly enough of Greg and Joshna and believe that they would be of significant benefit to any company.

“After 25 years of being in business through differing financial climates, I had become unfocused, despondent, and tired. Deciding to work with Joshna, has been like a total renewal, a re-birthing of potential.”

Fitzpatricks Financial Planning
We had a vision to grow the business into a national operation, to be bigger than our current skill set, thinking and financial restraints. We didn’t know what we didn’t know as it turned out!
Luckily we had the foresight to bring Greg Gunther as an independent director, shareholder and employee of Fitzpatricks Financial Group to help us realise our vision.
The business under Greg’s guidance went from two partners making decisions on the run to a functional business, governed by a board with independent representation.
Greg, as unconscionable big brother, took us through a process of setting up the Board for Fitzpatricks, along with our yearly calendar, governance framework, decision making process, accountability and roles and responsibilities. In the early days he hounded us to get us functioning and to be accountable to the business and all stakeholders.
Three years later, our business has grown considerably. We are clear on our vision, our governance is robust, financials outstanding and we have attracted quality outstanding industry leaders to our business. This in particular we never thought possible.
A great result in hindsight from humble beginnings. All made possible by one phone call. Thanks Greg!
If you’re thinking of taking your business to the next level or have a second set of eyes cast over it, I cannot recommend Greg highly enough.

Chairman
