Question 1 of 3
How it works
30 minutes, no obligation. Tell us what's going on with your file and where you want the business to be.
We diagnose your Xero file, then give you a fixed scope and price before any work starts. No surprises.
We do the clean-up, hand your accountant a lodgement-ready file, then keep things tidy month to month so it never piles up again.
About
I'm a CPA with 15+ years in finance, including Finance Director and Financial Controller roles across technology, manufacturing, infrastructure and software businesses. I started Clarus Partners because small businesses deserve the same quality of finance support big companies get - without the full-time salary.
When you work with Clarus, you work directly with me. No juniors, no handoffs, no call centres. I set up and clean up your Xero, run your operational finance, and explain everything in plain English.
I'm remote by design, working with clients across Australia.
Proof
A founder was spending four hours every week reviewing reconciliations with their accountant. We fixed the underlying system issues, audited the historical transactions, and removed the need for the weekly call entirely.
Their accountant now gets a clean file - and the founder got four hours a week back.

Why Clarus
Your file is handled by a CPA with 15+ years' experience - never passed to a junior.
Wherever you are in Australia, we work in the cloud on Xero - same quality, no travel time billed.
We work inside Xero's bank-grade security, use least-access permissions and strong authentication, and never share your data.
Everything we do is documented, so your tax accountant can lodge without the back-and-forth.
