The experience of working
with Fin Altura

Clients often come to Fin Altura looking for support with their bookkeeping – What they find is something more valuable – clear financial visibility, practical guidance, and the confidence that comes from understanding their numbers and knowing what to do next.

Fin Altura has been instrumental in levelling up our business. Bringing true accounting efficiencies with a ‘will do’ and ‘can do’ attitude. Regularly discussing business and financial goals, we can now forecast, better manage costs and budgets, and work through potential scenarios to see what impact decisions might have on the business financially – before we make them!

Sylvia has addressed and strengthened some of our ‘not so great’ processes such as BAS, payroll and super, and has injected additional and important value to our business in time, trust, confidence and experience.

I would also like to add that you’re one of my favourite humans to work with!

Katherine Toates

CEO , The Marketing Department

Sylvia has been an honorary team member for my business over the past 3 years. The biggest difference has been the impact on my money mindset – which has shifted significantly. I now charge an amount that reflects the value I offer and have built great client relationships on this foundation. There have been fun moments celebrating the wins together, and mostly she’s taken care of finance operations to ensure that things run smoothly whilst continuing to grow.

Most importantly you’ve become a friend.

Sylvia is a money mindset extraordinaire. She has a unique gift for cutting through unhealthy beliefs and guiding you to replace them with more sustainable and empowering beliefs.

Sylvia took me from a place of stress and struggle to an empowered, confident and excited state where my business is thriving. My business revenue has grown substantially since working with Sylvia, without having to burn myself out or sacrifice my personal time.

Sylvia’s very practical advice was simple yet hugely effective in both the short term and long term. 2 years later, I know where my profit is, where my expense budget is at, my taxes are taken care of, and most importantly I don’t feel overwhelmed or panicked.

Even in lean months, the structure I have thanks to speaking with Sylvia means I understand what’s going on and what I need to rectify the situation. I am no longer stabbing in the dark, wondering where the money’s gone or if I can pay that next bill.

Emma Veiga Malta

Business & Self Leadership Coach

Apart from the obvious consolidation of our finances – as we a) don’t have the time & b) find it completely overwhelming, I would say the biggest help has been the mentorship.

As a small business of two, we can easily go on a tangent that might not be in the best interests of the business financially. Having quarterly check ins with your fresh perspective, genuine care and knowledge of our business makes us align back to those business goals.

We always find ourselves more aligned & motivated with new goals to tackle each quarter. Which we know are all steps in the right direction. It’s also peace of mind to know everything is in order and if there are any red flags you will immediately let us know.

Saara Lemmetty & Michelle Pejovic

The Creative Sprout

Working with Sylvia has completely changed how I think about my business. It’s hard to put it into words but it’s like I have internally stepped up. Every conversation shifts something inside of me.

The clarity I get from our sessions, & the excitement of seeing exactly how I am going to achieve my goals is really empowering. I love how she goes straight to the point to really allow me to see where I am needing to focus my attention for growth.

The Business Engineer® | Founder of Meant for More®

I worked with Sylvia after seeking her support to review aspects of the way I managed the finances in my business.

Sylvia helped me set goals to grow my finances and wealth and the accountability she provided assisted me to add a new layer of rigour to my already successful business.

I continue to exceed financial and wealth related goals both personally and professionally and know that the work I did with Sylvia contributes to this.

Business & Self Leadership Coach

Sylvia helped me get over the fear of finances. I was always a bit ashamed that I couldn’t manage my money well and you took the shame away with your soulful, gentle pragmatism. Thank YOU so much!
