Run your business.Don't let it run you.
Business advisory and systems support for SME owners who are done spinning their wheels.
Who we are
We are a small, senior team of operators who have run businesses — made payroll, hired and let people go, fixed broken processes, and carried the P&L. That is the experience we bring into every engagement.
We are not consultants who read about business in a textbook, and we are not coaches who ask questions until you land on the answer yourself. We get in the business with you — and we stay until the work is done.
The Vela difference
We stay past the report.
Plenty of advisors hand over a strategy document and wish you luck. We help put it into practice — hiring, firing, job descriptions, sitting in on meetings until they run themselves. Advice without implementation is just an expensive conversation.
We've actually run the business, not just advised on one.
Every recommendation comes from people who have sat in the operator's chair — built teams, fixed broken processes, made the hard calls under pressure. A healthy business is always in a saleable position, whether an exit is the plan or not — that is just what running things properly looks like.
Legacy ERP is done.
The old idea of ERP — slow, rigid, a decade-long commitment — is over. Modern systems are faster to set up and easier to run, and our goal is to get everything into one properly integrated platform wherever possible. We recommend the right system, implement it, and manage it ongoing, so you have one point of contact instead of a vendor, an implementer, and internal IT all pointing fingers at each other.
Who we work with
SME businesses doing somewhere between $2M and $20M in revenue, across any industry, who feel like the business has outgrown the way they are running it.
Proudly working with SME business owners across South East Queensland — Brisbane, Logan, the Gold Coast, and surrounding regions.
