Andrew McDonald

The principal of McDonald Consulting is a Chartered Accountant, Justice of the Peace and a qualified Financial Planner. Andrew is passionate about assisting clients achieve the results they richly deserve.

Andrew is a keen sporting enthusiast, and spent a number of years representing the Canberra Raiders at S.G. Ball, Jersey Flegg and President's Cup levels, when various injuries changed the direction of his career. Andrew also had the fortune of playing alongside Rugby Union greats in various junior representative rugby teams including Wallaby legends Joe Roff and Stephen Larkham.

Andrew has taken the same passion, professionalism and commitment into his business career.

He has a commitment for achieving outstanding results, and the 'sporting team' has been replaced by a network of technical experts for when the situation calls.

Andrew also has a passion for technology, particularly the efficiencies that these can bring to your business. Utilisation of 'new' technologies also creates significant growth potential.

To grow and prosper in any business or profession, you must focus on a number of key areas including:

• remaining one step ahead of competitors
• keep in touch with market trends, i.e. franchising
• consider offshore production or importing
• consider efficiencies provided by outsourcing
• utilising new technologies and markets
• remember the 80/20 rule

However, we cannot forget the basic principles which underpin business success including;

• managing key personal relationships with customers
• managing key personal relationships with suppliers
• establishing trust
• delivering on time and on budget
• In order to achieve these objectives we need quality people in our own organisation.
