Scale Suite provides fractional CFO services to Brisbane businesses and SMEs across South East Queensland. Our Chartered Accountants deliver weekly strategic oversight, cashflow forecasting, budgeting, and executive-level financial guidance to help Brisbane businesses make confident decisions and drive sustainable growth.
From startups in Fortitude Valley to established businesses on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, we provide senior financial leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO hire. Queensland has the most generous payroll tax threshold on the eastern seaboard at $1.3M, but growing businesses still need proactive financial planning to manage the transition when wages cross that line.
Our team brings senior finance experience from Big 4 firms, startups, and multinationals, delivering tailored fractional CFO services for Brisbane and South East Queensland SMEs across all industries. As Chartered Accountants and members of CA ANZ, our strategic recommendations are grounded in deep technical accounting knowledge. Based in Sydney, we serve Brisbane clients daily through cloud platforms and shared channels.
We deliver weekly cashflow tracking, variance analysis, and strategic oversight embedded in your business through shared platforms. Whether you need a complete replacement for an internal finance manager or targeted CFO support alongside your existing team, we integrate daily and work alongside your annual tax accountant. Same time zone as Sydney means real-time communication throughout the day.
A full-time CFO in Brisbane costs $140,000+ annually including super and leave.
