“Scott has some great ideas and he can back it up. The value that he’s added is crucial to our business. He acts really senior; it’s been a great experience and it’s really added value to our business.
Having Scott on board we’re in the process of automating our invoices which means we’re going to get our billing out quicker.
Prior to using EFM it was somebody internal and it just didn’t work. I’d only been in the business for seven weeks and it wasn’t working with the person before, so Scott stepped in and was able to pick up everything that we needed him to do, not just what he was taken on to do”.
“Malcolm goes out of his way to really get to know and understand the business so it’s not just numbers – he can and has offered proactive advice.
Working with EFM has benefited our business immeasurably. I wouldn’t classify myself as being a numbers person. I’m proficient and I understand numbers but to me it’s a sanity check every month which is great. It gives me confidence, and gives my board confidence, that the numbers are correct. I’ve used freelancers in the past and EFM compare really well”.

“We were able to source an interim finance professional to undertake some due diligence for us on an investment opportunity, at reasonably short notice, on reasonable fees. Previously we would have just engaged a firm of accountants to do due diligence for us. However, working with EFM has enabled us to get a more in depth understanding of the financial position, and systems and processes, within the investee company, which we felt was a more helpful financial due diligence exercise. We have used EFM again since for other on-going projects”.
“We have one particular contact, Graham. It’s a personal contact rather than if you’re going to a big firm of accountants and you feel like you’re one of many. With EFM, we feel like Graham is part of our team; we get the personal approach rather than being lost in a big corporation with a large accounting firm. We use Graham as the initial point of contact but we know he does tap into other areas of the network if there’s stuff outside his skill set, so we feel well covered.
I’ve used EFM with 2 businesses: My current business is Version 2, a Lighting rental company servicing the television industry. As a start up it was excellent to have someone like EFM working beside us, with their wide expertise, having been through it with many other companies. As a small business owner that advice is invaluable. With my previous company, Aurora lighting Hire, we successfully sold the company to a large american company in 2015. During the sales process it was invaluable having EFM by our side to advise us as it’s not something we’d done before”.
