Our Clients

What people say

Mike ran a 6-month project for us reviewing some key markets in Asia. His footwear and distribution knowledge were of great help, and he delivered a good piece of work on time.

Mike Todd consulted to Love To Dream over a four month period. He was responsible for working directly with our distributors to maximise sales and orders. Amongst many things Mike organised an international distributor conference in Germany, all content and presentation was done by Mike and the markets responded very positively to the conference, so much so this is now a yearly event. Mike also advised on various strategic decisions that have helped increase our revenue to date. Always coming to work a vibrant and lovely disposition I would not hesitate to work with Mike again.

Mike has been instrumental in helping Zipz get a foothold and succeed in the APAC Region. We could not have accomplished so much and/or been as efficient in that region without their help and expertise. Our partnership with Mike for the APAC region was a fantastic decision on our part and we’re proud to have them as our APAC representation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Insights into international financial strategy

Do I need to start at Step 1, or can I jump ahead?

All clients begins with a 90-minute Strategy Session. This ensures we understand your business, identify the right opportunities, and map the best path forward. After that, you can move directly into whichever step of the pathway fits your stage — whether that’s cashflow, pricing, a Deep Dive Day, or a Fractional CFO engagement.

What size businesses do you work with?

We typically partner with growth-phase companies ranging from $2M–$50M in revenue, but the principles apply at earlier and later stages too.

How do you deliver your programs?

Most sessions can be delivered remotely via Zoom. For workshops and Deep Dive Days, we also offer in-person delivery in select locations.

How is a Fractional CFO different from traditional accounting?

A Fractional CFO focuses on strategy and growth, not bookkeeping or compliance. They help you optimise pricing, cashflow, and capital structures for scaling internationally.

What industries do you specialise in?

Our advisors have worked with companies in professional services, manufacturing, tech, tourism and hospitality and more. The common thread: growth and international expansion.
