[ The event ]
This is a free, invite-only forum for Gold Coast business owners. Attendance is by RSVP only, and the event link is only shared with invited guests.
The morning is curated for owners and operators who want to step out of the day-to-day and hear from people who think about business from multiple angles — accounting, finance, law and wealth. The conversation is practical, conversational and built around the questions owners are actually asking.
[ The panel ]
A panel built around the conversations every owner is already having — with their accountant, broker, lawyer and financial planner.
[ Host & panelist ]
Director, Wakefield Pacific
As Chair, Mitchell will guide the conversation through the economic outlook, interest rates, AI and the opportunities facing Australian SMEs in the new financial year. He brings an owner-first perspective that extends well beyond tax into strategy, cash flow and leadership.
[ Host & panelist ]
Director & Finance Broker, Modern Financial
James will share his read on the current lending environment, the property market and what owners should consider when making finance and investment decisions ahead. He takes a strategic, educational approach to lending across residential, commercial and business finance.
[ Guest panelist ]
Founder & Director, Lawnch
Tammi will bring a practical legal lens to the conversations owners are already having — from contracts and governance to the questions they should be asking next as they grow. She bridges legal expertise with commercial decision-making.
[ Guest panelist ]
Senior Associate, Wallace Law Group
Blake will share practical insights on risk management, business structuring and key insolvency considerations — drawing on lessons from businesses that have successfully navigated challenging economic conditions.
[ Guest panelist ]
Partner, Senior Financial Adviser, Centaur Financial Services
Nick will discuss the investment landscape, wealth creation strategies and how business owners can build financial resilience inside and outside their business. His advice spans retirement planning, investments, superannuation and insurance.
