My Connection Statement

At Precise Business Solutions, we help medium to large enterprises control all aspects of their operations with our Business Management Software, implemented to deliver the visibility and efficient processes they need to run their organisations successfully.

About Me - My Biography

When I was young, I always knew I would be a business owner. My parents have always owned businesses and investment properties – entrepreneurship was in my blood.

I became a business owner at an early age when my partner and I had an opportunity to take over ownership of the small business we were working for at the time. We didn’t have any responsibilities back then, not even a mortgage, so we thought “why not, let’s give it a go”. That was in 1995 and we are still together, happily married with the same business (plus two children), only it’s a little bigger these days.

We are now an international business, with offices in Perth, Melbourne, UK and Netherlands. With over 60 staff, the landscape has certainly changed over the years!

We provide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solutions. The term ERP is well known amongst Accountants, CFO’s and Financial Controllers, but for the rest of us, I tend to refer to it as Xero Software on steroids. ERP is effectively software that larger companies use to manage the operations of their business, such as Financials, Inventory Control, Debtors and Creditors, CRM, Manufacturing, Project Management, HR and Payroll.

My Expertise

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats in the business, like many entrepreneurs do as their business scales.

I have experience in Systems Consulting and Implementation, Business Analysis, Product Management and Design (Software), Finance and Admin, Business Strategy and Initiatives, Human Resources, Internal System and Process Improvements, Leadership and Management.

More recently, I have taken on the role of Marketing Director and manage all aspects of marketing for the business in collaboration with my team.

My Passions

I have a passion for continuous improvement. Each day is an opportunity for learning in all aspects of your life, whether this be from success or challenges along the way.

My goal is to build a modern, vibrant, successful business, with customers who love us and employees who love coming to work everyday. I enjoy seeing the solutions we develop and implement for our customers making a positive difference to their business, achieving the project objectives and helping them reach their business goals.

I want our business to be the ERP supplier of choice for our customers and the employer of choice for our staff.

In my personal life, I also have a passion for property investment, renovation and interior design.

My Interests

Family – I love spending time with my husband and children and catching up with extended family

Friends – There is nothing better than dinner with friends, a BBQ at home or catching up with my girlfriends

Travel – Any opportunity we have to travel and explore the world, I am there!

Skiing – I love skiing and intend to ski all over the world well into my ageless years

Wine – A shared passion with my husband, I wouldn’t be surprised if we retire close to a wine region!

Food – I love good food, trying new restaurants and going back to old favourites

Indoor Plants – I have a recent love of indoor plants, especially the ones that are easy to care for!

How I Can Help Other Members

Many members of HerBusiness may be more suited to a system like Xero or MYOB software than our ERP solutions, however you may be like us and work with customers much larger than you who may be thinking about changing their systems. There could be a number of reasons why they might want to do this;

  • Their business is growing and their current system is holding them back (multi subsidiary, locations or currencies)
  • Their current system is really old and is no longer supported (both the software and the platform it runs on), or they are facing a very expensive upgrade
  • They have high costs in the business because they have disparate systems that don’t “talk” to each other and inefficient processes resulting in double handling of data and integration issues

Implementing a new ERP can be a mammoth task for business owners, but before this happens, they need to go through a selection process. The better prepared a business is for this, the more successful the project will be and the faster a business will see a return on their investment. If anyone needs some advice in this area, we are here to help.

Why I Became a HerBusiness Member

I love being around like-minded people who understand the challenges of being a business owner. I also love to learn, and Suzi and the HerBusiness team are all about educating their members. They are so supportive and passionate about what they do – perfect role models for other business owners.

The MasterMind has made a huge impact on me personally and consequently our business. The extra support from a smaller group of women and incredible mentors who know and understand your business better than your friends or family do is like GOLD.
