I help boards and CEOs navigate high-stakes decisions with confidence, turning financial complexity into strategic clarity.

As a Chief Financial Officer with nearly two decades of expertise, I've worked across healthcare, aged care, NDIS, FMCG, mining, and global corporates. I've directly managed budgets exceeding $500M and led financial transformations that unlocked over $50M in savings.

My track record spans mergers, acquisitions, regulatory reform, and turnaround situations. I've secured $12M in government funding and built resilient, compliant organisations positioned for sustainable growth amid emerging regulatory and technological transformation.

Beyond the balance sheet, I translate financial expertise into action. I've authored five Amazon-published books, including Beyond the Numbers, NDIS Financial Management, Survive and Thrive - Cash Flow Strategies that Actually Work, The AI Playbook for the Practical CFO and Aged Care Reform 2025, that turn financial governance and strategy into practical executive playbooks. Through my blog (CFOInsights.blog) and speaking engagements, I share frameworks that bridge governance and growth, sparking industry conversations on resilience and innovation.

At the board level, I serve as Non-Executive Director and advisor, delivering financial governance, risk oversight, and strategic execution that empowers organisations to achieve their most ambitious goals.

What drives my approach:

1. Strategic partnership: I go beyond financial stewardship to unlock opportunity and co-create growth.
2. Clarity in complexity: I deliver actionable insights, even when uncertainty is high.
3. Governance with purpose: I fuse deep sector expertise with strategic leadership for lasting impact.

My focus now: partnering with boards and leadership teams that need transformative financial guidance where governance, growth, and purpose converge to create real value.

Let's connect if your organisation is ready for financial leadership that drives meaningful outcomes.

If it's as basic and predictable as 1+1, I won't waste my time. I'm all about the thrill.

Hi, I am Gary Jain & I help business owners in taking control of their business finances by being a one-stop solution for all their accounting, taxation & CFO advisory needs. 

Being an entrepreneur myself, having built and scaled businesses in different domains, has helped me think from the perspective of business owners. I aim to deconstruct and resolve real problems with practical, implement-able solutions. 

Being from a humble background, I have always valued the importance of conserving resources and I don't like overspending businesses. I advise and work towards tightening the cash outflow tap and making business owners take a different approach to managing their finances. 

The mess I have untangled over the years, and the kind of joy I see in business owners once I’ve put together a working accounting system for them is unparalleled 💯. 

I see opportunities to improvise in everything, even myself :). Yup, that's typical me.

The exhausting hiring, firing, and rehiring of accountants, bookkeepers, and CFOs, the process is finally going out of the picture.

Ever had a perfect P&L… and still got a “No” from an investor?

You’re not alone.

One of my clients was running a fast-growing B2B business.
📈 Revenue was scaling.
💰 Margins looked solid.
📃 The P&L? Spotless.

Yet, he walked out of the pitch empty-handed.

Why?

Because the balance sheet told a different story:
 – Receivables were bloated
 – Loans were tucked away under “Other Liabilities”
 – Inventory was stacking up… but not selling

He didn’t catch it.

But the investor did. Instantly.

We sat down and got to work:
 ✅ Reclassified short-term obligations
 ✅ Cleaned up the receivables aging
 ✅ Flagged key risks in the notes
 ✅ And rebuilt the reporting to actually speak investor

What happened next?

He raised $538,922 in a bridge round. No back and forth.

More importantly—he could finally explain his numbers with clarity and confidence.

That’s the power of a clean balance sheet.

It builds trust before your pitch even begins.

Numbers don’t lie. But they can mislead, if you don’t tell the full story.

You finished your accounting degree last month...

...but just realized you've been preparing for only ONE type of role.

Nobody told you there were dozens of accounting paths to take.

Most accounting beginners make this costly mistake: 

Thinking all accounting roles are basically the same.

You discover this painful truth when:

- You apply for jobs you're completely unprepared for
- Your resume targets the wrong skills for the roles you want
- You miss opportunities because you didn't know they existed

By the time you realize the problem, you've already invested years preparing for the wrong career path.

The solution? 

Explore the accounting ecosystem before you commit.

Start by understanding which specific accounting paths align with your natural strengths and interests. 

Then build skills that match those specific roles.

Which accounting path did you discover too late in your career journey?
