Australian SMEs are facing a rapidly changing economic landscape, and one Melbourne-based accounting and advisory firm is stepping up to help businesses navigate growth with greater confidence. PremierOne has announced the expansion of its strategic financial planning and outsourced CFO services, designed specifically to support growing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Australia.

With rising operational costs, tighter cash flow conditions, evolving tax obligations, and increasing pressure on business owners to make smarter financial decisions, demand for proactive financial guidance has surged in recent years. In response, PremierOne is broadening its service offering to provide Australian SMEs with more hands-on financial leadership, tailored growth strategies, and real-time business insights.

Led by Managing Director and CFO Advisor Maru Natarajan, PremierOne has built a strong reputation in Melbourne for delivering personalised accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, tax advisory, and virtual CFO solutions. The firm’s leadership team brings more than 50 years of combined accounting and commercial finance experience, helping businesses across industries improve profitability, strengthen cash flow, and achieve sustainable long-term growth.

The expanded strategic financial planning services will include advanced cash flow forecasting, budgeting and financial modelling, growth and expansion planning, board-level financial reporting, business performance analysis, and advisory support for funding, acquisitions, and operational scaling. The firm is also increasing its focus on cloud-based financial systems and data-driven reporting tools to help business owners gain clearer visibility into their financial performance.

According to PremierOne, many Australian SMEs have traditionally relied on accountants primarily for tax compliance and end-of-year reporting. However, business owners are now looking for more strategic partnerships that can provide ongoing commercial guidance and practical financial direction throughout the year.

“Businesses today need more than compliance support,” said Maru Natarajan, Managing Director of PremierOne. “SME owners are making critical decisions every day around staffing, expansion, pricing, cash flow, and investment. Our goal is to give them the financial clarity and strategic direction needed to make confident decisions and grow sustainably.”

PremierOne’s outsourced CFO and advisory services are designed to provide businesses with executive-level financial expertise without the cost of employing a full-time CFO. The firm works closely with business owners to identify inefficiencies, improve financial systems, reduce unnecessary costs, and implement scalable financial processes that support growth.

The firm has already delivered strong outcomes for clients across sectors including professional services, retail, healthcare, trades, and aged care. In one recent case study, PremierOne helped an Australian aged care provider improve cash flow, recover significant bad debts, and achieve more than $310,000 in financial savings through proactive outsourced CFO support and financial restructuring.

As more Australian businesses seek flexible and commercially focused financial support, PremierOne believes the future of accounting lies in combining compliance expertise with strategic business advisory.

Based in Vermont, Victoria, PremierOne services businesses throughout Melbourne and across Australia, offering fixed-fee pricing and personalised support tailored to each client’s needs.
