Hi! I’m Jenny Andrews,

I have always loved numbers and was born with an analytical mind.

I also found it natural to manage people and teams and love to help individuals develop in their careers. This involved allocating a balance of tasks with which they were already accomplished and efficient with those that would offer learning and growth.  An overarching philosophy I hold is to let people primarily do what they are good at.  A well-balanced team has a good spread of skills in order to achieve this. 

As a result, team members are motivated and satisfied and enjoy their roles. After many years in Corporate Finance, I now apply my skills to help entrepreneurs and small business owners understand and leverage the financial side of their businesses. 

Not everyone loves numbers as I do.  So, I partner with my clients to take the stress out of that side of the business so they can focus on their passions. 

My clients are looking to improve the quality of the lives of their clients and/or do something good in the world.  I help them also achieve the financial success which in turn allows them to do even more good.

No two businesses are the same, so neither is my approach.  Whilst I apply sound financial processes, I meet the client where they are and offer a bespoke service tailored to their needs.  I also work with consultants, advisers, and service providers to leverage the value of the combined team.

I am a lifelong learner and continue to grow and develop my own skills and knowledge.  This has led me to explore many topics such as meditation, yoga, Ayurveda, functional approaches to medicine, nutrition, breathing, etc, communication, NLP, and recently Tai Chi.

Client Testimonials

From Steve, Entrepreneur, Los Angeles

I have the utmost appreciation for the exceptional support provided by Jen Andrews to my business. Jen's expertise in business planning and forecasting, along with her ability to conduct various scenario testing, has been instrumental in helping me make educated business decisions.

Jen's attention to detail and thorough analysis have allowed me to gain valuable insights into the potential outcomes of different strategies and scenarios. Her ability to break down complex concepts and present them in a clear and concise manner made the planning process much more digestible and manageable.

Most of all, she is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with her again as my business progresses!”

From Brian, Director of Distribution, Sydney

I have had the pleasure of working with Jenny Andrews, over many years,  in the start-up of three businesses in the Life Insurance sector.

Jenny performed both an actuarial role and a financial one in these start-ups and was a crucial member that we had to get when we formed the new teams and businesses.

Her actuarial and business planning and forecasting skills using spreadsheets etc are second to none. She is as solid as they come.

To top it off you couldn’t work with a nicer, more collaborative person who is a pleasure to be around.

When my son planned the launch of his new business, Jenny was the first person that came to mind as a consultant to help him plan effectively and gain the necessary insights to make appropriate business decisions.

I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
