Matthews Steer is forward thinking. Our practice actively endeavours
to add value wherever opportunities to do so exist.

When it comes to business, owners and managers face significant challenges. However, we often find that underpinning those challenges are 4 mindsets that we work hard to change...

  • the lack of peace of mind around their business
  • the lack of confidence to grow their businesses
  • the lack of confidence of their banker which stifles growth due to lack of access to capital
  • an inability to translate business success into personal wealth

Our CATALYST® Business Success program focusses on overcoming these challenges and building free cashflow. Combining a rigorous program of regular meetings and business reviews and a suite of simple yet powerful diagnostic tools including a Financial X-Ray™ and Activity Based Management approach we can create crystal clear snapshots.

Engaging in our CATALYST® program brings you a complete and simple dashboard for the running of your business. When combined with the regular cycle of guidance and advice from your own team of financial and business experts, success is assured. Given that the business' purpose is to deliver profits and build the wealth of the stakeholders, having a financial team to maximise these outcomes is an opportunity not to be missed. It will provide you with the stories of your business that are often missed and often entirely unexpected.

A personal demonstration of CATALYST® is available at your request.




Catalyst is terrific. The Financial X-Ray dashboard gives you all the critical information on one page. You get all the critical measures on one page – a kind of a cross between analysis of a P&L and balance sheet. Debtors as a proportion of cash flow, working capital status, cash generated, free cash, all sorts of data that I guess someone financially savvy could dredge out of the source data given enough time and application, but Catalyst gives it to us on a plate and we would rather be using the time to make decisions. I’m told someone described it as like looking into a muddy pool that suddenly clears revealing everything within it.
I would agree with that wholeheartedly.
