Take Your Business on a 12-Month Journey of Real Transformation.
Our Advisory & Strategy Service goes beyond surface fixes, helping you drive meaningful, long-term improvements for your business and your community.
Real Progress Starts with a Clear Plan
Sandalia Advisory guides regional businesses through a clear, step-by-step journey to strengthen operations, finances, and team alignment. We start by reviewing where you’re at, pinpointing gaps in processes or resource use.
Each month, we check in with you, ensuring consistent accountability and governance and connecting you with trusted specialists as needed. The result? A more streamlined business, improved cash flow, and a confident path for long-term growth in the community you call home.
What Makes This Approach So Effective
Tailored to You
No cookie-cutter strategies here. Every plan is built around your business, your people, and your local community so it’s relevant, achievable, and impactful.
Designed with Accountability
The 12-month structure, with regular check-ins, keeps you moving forward. We don’t just hand over your plan, we help you stick to it and see it through.
Backed by Experts
Need support in HR, finance, IT, or legal? We’ll connect you with trusted specialists along the way, ensuring you receive the right help without juggling multiple consultants.
Built for Regional Businesses Ready to Grow
This journey is designed for established businesses throughout regional WA, think Geraldton, Esperance, and anywhere in between. You’ve been operating for a few years, you’re proud of what you’ve built, and now you’re ready to refine your operations.
Whether you’re in retail, hospitality, trade, or agri-services, we’ll help you to strengthen your operations, improve profitability, and build a business that lasts. If you’re ready to invest in expert support and commit to real progress over 12 months, we’re here to guide you along the way.
Your Business Performance Program in Three Steps
Step 1
Status Quo Review
Your Status Quo Review is a diagnostic tool we use to assess the current state of your business. It identifies how things are operating as they are now, across key business areas such as: Vision & Goals, Strategy & Structure, Marketing & Sales, Financials & Reporting, Systems & Workflow, People & Culture, Personal Vision & Goals.
It’s designed to highlight strengths, surface inefficiencies or misalignments, and provide a clear baseline before implementing change. This review typically forms the foundation for deeper strategy or advisory work.
Step 2
The Business Performance Program
The Business Performance Program is the roadmap clients follow after the Status Quo Review to take their business from where it is now to where they want it to be. It’s a structured process designed to deliver meaningful sustainable growth by improving strategy, structure, systems and culture. It typically includes:
Clarifying Strategic Vision, Optimising Business Structure, Strengthening Financial Health, Building Effective Systems, Developing People and Culture and Tracking Progress.
This journey is collaborative and tailored to each business, ensuring change is practical, well-paced and achievable with the goal of creating a business that runs smoothly, grows confidently, and gives the owner more freedom.
Step 3
Stay on Track with Monthly Support
Every month, we sit down together to review progress, work through challenges, and adjust the plan as needed. You will have your own advisory board, focused on keeping things moving. Accountability will maintain momentum and lead to real, lasting results.
Comprehensive Support
Financial & Operational Health Check
Detailed look at cash flow, role clarity, and processes.
