Who are RBI’s clients?

Melbourne based trade service, manufacturing & industrial business owners struggling to achieve financial performance. Our clients have grown their business from inception to a size where they begin to loose financial control - usually between $2M-$4M in annual revenue. At this scale they begin to feel anxious, frustrated & isolated by the poor financial performance or predicament of their business. Questions such as “is this worth it?” & “where is the cash?” arise. They have decisions to make & everyone is counting on them to get it right.

Since inception in 2012, RBI has been engaged take command of the financial performance across multiple industries including transport, mining, plumbing, electrical, flooring, construction, concrete, high access, medical, facility maintenance, manufacturing, cabinet making, design, chemicals, technology, cosmetics & professional services.

We are proud to work with those who make, move & maintain the economy. The backbone of civilisation.

What are some client stories?

25 years ago a husband & wife with one truck began their entrepreneurial journey. Now with over 200 trucks & operations across 3 states, this client is the largest provider of their type of transport in Australia. When their previous CFO retired, RBI stepped in. Financial systems & processes were upgraded allowing for scalable growth. Wholesale funding opportunities were sourced, & real-time financial reporting implemented, together with rolling forecasts to see what was coming down the road.

The humble washing machine & a husband & wife team. One client saw a niche opportunity to create a quality & environmental friendly laundry detergent distributed in reusable packaging, sold online through a subscription model. At infancy RBI modelled out the complex financial growth & funding requirements so that the owners could step forward with clarity, conviction & confidence.

As they launched RBI worked alongside them guiding operating & strategic decisions. In good times & bad. 3 years later with a growing employee base, international supply lines, & an expanding product list, large scale wholesale opportunities are set to take this client onto the international stage.

After a decade in business & little to show for it this commercial property maintenance client was frustrated, & a little sceptical. Turned out their bookkeeper had severely let them down. Accounts were not reconciled, payroll was wrong, debts were not being chased. The business was bleeding profit & cash flow right under the owners nose.

RBI was able to diagnose this issue quickly & a new (competent) bookkeeper installed the same day. Disciplined & simple process changes led to a rapid recovery in financial health & performance. When COVID struck & revenues fell 70% RBI was there to help steer the company through uncharted waters, & out into record results.
