High-level business consulting to help you grow with confidence
Running a business can feel heavy when you're making big decisions without a clear perspective. The stakes are high, the numbers matter, and everyone is looking to you for answers.
My role is to help you see what really matters and move forward with confidence.
I provide business consulting that’s practical, tailored, and grounded in real-world experience. Whether you need strategic direction, stronger systems, or sharper leadership, this hands-on support is designed to create momentum and long-term results. Based in Auckland, I work with ambitious owners across New Zealand, Australia and further afield who want clarity, structure, and accountability.

Have been working with Lani for a while now, she has an absolute wealth of knowledge, loves to see her clients grow, and has a warm personality to go with it. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend Lani, she's been the missing piece to our puzzle. She can work with whatever you give her and can make finances easy to understand. As a creative I always struggled to find someone who could understand my brain and make things make sense - Lani has done that with ease. Very knowledgable in her expertise.

Lani has a knack for connecting the dots for you that you may not be aware of. Yes she is highly analytical, extremely switched on and her clients naturally benefit from that, but that cerebral prowess is also paired with a highly empathetic approach and a big heart.
Why 1:1 business consulting works
Generic advice doesn’t work when every business is different.
That’s why 1:1 support is at the core of my business consultancy services. Many business owners are reacting to problems instead of leading proactively. They’re juggling people, numbers, systems, and strategy. Often alone. My role as a business management consultant is to help you slow things down, prioritise what matters, and take action with intention. This isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about making better decisions, faster, with someone in your corner who understands the bigger picture.
From small business consulting services designed for owners who want to run their business with more control and confidence, to leadership teams, boards and CEOs.
I work with:
Founder-led and owner-operated businesses navigating growth or change
Established businesses with leadership teams and increasing operational complexity
Service-based and technical organisations operating in regulated or high-stakes environments
Businesses expanding into new markets or restructuring for scale
This is a good fit if you:
• Are leading a growing business and feel stretched or reactive
• Want clearer strategy and stronger decision-making
• Need support across people, systems, structure, or financial performance
• Value straight-talking advice from experienced business consultants
• Are looking for trusted business consulting that’s grounded and practical
Who I’m not a good fit for
• This isn't the right fit if you're looking for a one-size-fits-all framework or quick fixes. My work is best suited to business owners who are open to thinking deeply, taking responsibility for decisions, and doing the work required to create lasting change.
• This isn't the right fit for business owners looking for generic advice, rigid frameworks, or someone to simply tell them what to do. My consulting works best with owners who value thoughtful discussion, shared accountability, and making well-considered decisions rather than chasing shortcuts.
• This isn't a fit for businesses that aren't ready to engage at a decision-making level. My work is most effective when I'm working directly with owners or senior leaders who have the authority - and willingness - to act on the outcomes of our conversations.
Many of my clients operate in environments with multiple moving parts - including regulatory considerations, layered ownership structures, external partners, and competing strategic priorities. I'm comfortable working at this level of complexity and helping business owners cut through the noise to make clear, grounded decisions.
This includes working across multiple entities, jurisdictions, or revenue streams where clarity and sequencing matter just as much as the strategy itself.
A consulting approach built around your business
There’s no single formula for success. My approach to business management consulting is flexible, collaborative, and shaped around your business, not a predefined framework.
As a business management consultant, I meet you where you’re at and focus on what will make the biggest difference right now. That might include:
• Strategic planning and business direction
• Leadership and team structure
• Systems, processes, and operational clarity
• Financial performance and profitability
• Decision-making, accountability, and focus
While my work is grounded in business consulting in NZ, I also draw on principles from global business consulting, bringing wider perspective where it adds value without losing sight of local realities.
