4ward provides comprehensive accounting and financial services to businesses of all shapes and sizes, in all sectors, right across Australia. Our team is hands-on and are available virtually or physically at your office to provide direct support to you and your team.
Which one are you?
This is a common concern for many aspirational and hardworking business owners. Especially those who wear many hats in their business and can’t get out of the weeds. Whether you are a small business moving out of the start-up phase, a medium sized business looking to scale-up or a larger business wanting to go after new market segments, we can assist with strategic advice and financial systems that will put you on the right path to your next chapter.
How frustrating, but don’t worry, we can help! We are used to running teams, mentoring juniors and bringing different divisions together. You will no longer need to check every invoice to make sure it’s correct or worry if your suppliers are being paid on time. Let us help you support or build your team’s skills, streamline your systems and put the right checks and balances in place so you can get back to running your business.
We completely understand! Businesses today run many different software systems to manage different aspects of their business, and many of these systems are either joined (via API) or disconnected from the accounting system. Let us help you discover the source of truth in your business and ensure the accounting numbers make sense.
No problem—you’re not alone. We’ll help you find the right Finance Manager and set them up for success from day one. With decades of experience as CFOs, Financial Controllers, and Finance Managers ourselves, we know exactly what it takes. We’ll guide and mentor your new hire, set clear expectations, and help keep them accountable to ensure they deliver real results.
What Our Clients Say Real results from real business owners across Australia.
Pierre has truly revolutionised our business, and bringing him on as our fractional CFO is one of the best decisions I have made. He provides far more than just financial guidance. He has been instrumental in shaping our leadership team and culture, while also evaluating the business from top to bottom to bring his many years of corporate experience to our relatively new and rapidly growing niche manufacturing company.
Pierre has my back and has a genuine interest in the business and its success. He brings a friendly presence to the office and has helped us navigate challenges that initially seemed overwhelming, his confidence and ability are contagious, and we consistently find the right solutions together.
I could not recommend Pierre more highly to any business looking for a fractional CFO who truly goes above and beyond.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Pierre. He guided me through building an efficient month-end close process and took the time to clearly explain the flow of each report, making sure everything was well understood and automated as much as possible. Pierre’s hands-on approach, deep expertise, and ability to communicate complex processes simply made a huge difference to how I work. Fast, knowledgeable, approachable . Highly recommended for any business looking to get their finances truly in order. Five stars!
Working with Pierre has been such a positive experience. He is passionate, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough in everything he does. His attention to detail and his communication skills made the entire process smooth and easy. Highly recommend.
Having CFO-level expertise without the full-time cost was a game changer. They tailored everything to fit our budget and needs.
I have worked with Pierre on mutliple occassions and the experience is always great. Pierre really understands businesses and their finances/accounting. I recommend Pierre to any business owner looking to grow and/or get a better understanding of their numbers.
Excellent service. Pierre put a lot of effort into understanding your business and providing tailored solutions to meet your needs. His analytical skills are outstanding.
4ward Finance are great to work with — very insightful and knowledgeable.
They took the time to understand my business and explain things in a way that actually makes sense.

Pierre brings incredible clarity and professionalism to our fiscal management. He is a reliable, detail-oriented leader who has significantly improved our financial health and operational efficiency
Pierre has a talent for simplifying complex financial issues and providing the kind of data-driven advice that actually moves the needle. Pierre is a CFO who is reliable, transparent, and focused on long-term growth. Its been great to have him on board.
Pierre has come on board with our company to help us move from a medium to a large business. Personally his care, understanding and most importantly to me his patience have been his best attribute! His knowledge of systems and accounting rules go without saying, but his ability to teach and give you the tools to “DIY” have been the most rewarding part for me
We engaged 4ward to help with our finance team as a fractional CFO, and from our experience Pierre is a creative and analytical and tech-savvy CFO, with ability to understand key issues of a business, drill into it analytically, present issues and solutions in clear reporting methods, and also train/help setup in-house accounting and IT methodology to streamline processes and remove inefficiencies.
