Lawson provides fractional CFO and business advisory services to Australian businesses, from accurate bookkeeping and monthly reporting through to funding, transactions and board-level support. Whether you need ongoing CFO leadership or specialist help with a specific challenge, we tailor our support to your business and stage of growth.
Most clients start with our Business DNA Report, a one-off review that gives us a clear picture of your business before we recommend any ongoing support. From there, you can choose a CFO package, add specialist services as you need them, or both.
Based in Brisbane, Lawson offers business advisory services to clients across the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Byron Bay regions. Our dual focus on operational finance and strategic support means we help both day-to-day financial control and long-term planning.
Whether you need end-of-month reporting, budgeting and forecasting, or shareholder updates, our services deliver clarity and confidence. We also assist businesses navigating complex events such as mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, debt and equity funding, and debt restructuring.
We implement information systems that strengthen financial visibility. Each engagement is tailored to your specific needs. It is delivered with the rigour you would expect from an in-house CFO.

At Lawson, our approach to business advisory services is shaped by years of local experience. We listen first, tailor every recommendation to your situation, and stay involved after the work is done. The result is a service that feels personal rather than transactional, and outcomes you can rely on long after we hand things back to you.
Timelines for business advisory services depend on scope, but most projects move through a clear set of stages so you always know where things stand. We agree the milestones up front, share progress regularly, and flag anything that might shift the schedule early. That way the timeline stays predictable and there are no surprises near the finish line.
Pricing for business advisory services is always tied to the work involved, so we give you a clear written quote before anything starts. There are no surprise fees and no hidden extras. If the brief changes mid-way, we talk it through and update the quote in writing so the cost stays transparent the whole way through.
Yes. Lawson works across the surrounding area and we are happy to travel for the right project. If you are nearby and unsure whether we cover your postcode, get in touch and we will confirm straight away. Most of the time the answer is yes, and we are usually able to organise a visit within a few business days.
Getting started is simple. Send us a quick message describing what you need, and we will reply with a few clarifying questions and the next available time to chat. From there, we map out the work, agree the cost, and start when you are ready. The whole intake usually takes a couple of days from first contact to first action.
