Meet Garry
Garry Godfrey, The Business Whisperer
With more than 40 years of experience in business and finance, Garry has a proven track record of helping businesses thrive. He’s walked in your shoes, faced the same challenges and come out the other side — and he understands the language of business success.
From banker to business mentor
Garry’s career began in 1983 at the Commonwealth Bank, where he rose to become one of Australia’s youngest bank managers. It gave him an insider’s view of how banks and businesses really work. When GST arrived in July 2000, he saw how much small businesses needed practical, specialised support, and founded Complete Business Management Services — and later, Australian Business Clinic.
More than numbers
Garry’s expertise isn’t textbook knowledge. It comes from more than three decades of running his own business management consultancy and working with a large and diverse client base. That experience lets him offer practical, tailored solutions that deliver results you can see.

Experience the ABC difference
Most clients start with the Business Review Programme. Every area it covers is also available as a service on its own.
What working with Garry looks like
Every engagement starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch. Garry wants to understand your business, your goals and what’s keeping you up at night before recommending anything. From there, the work follows a simple rhythm: we look closely, we explain what we found in plain English, we agree a fixed price for the plan, and we help you put it into action.
Garry works with business owners in every state and territory, from our head office in Ascot, Brisbane, our offices on the Gold Coast, or by video. Wherever you are, you get the same person, the same straight talk and the same focus on results you can see.
Business management consultants: common questions
What does a business management consultant do?
A business management consultant looks at how your business is run — the finances, the systems, the people and the marketing — and helps you improve its performance. At Australian Business Clinic that means an independent review of your business, plain-English advice on what to change first, help putting the plan into action, and a check-back three months later to make sure it’s working.
How is a business consultant different from a business coach?
A business coach usually works on you — your mindset, goals and accountability — over an ongoing series of sessions. A business management consultant works on the business itself: analysing the numbers and operations, finding the problems and opportunities, and giving you a specific, prioritised plan. We do the analysis and the advice, then help you act on it.
Who will I actually work with?
Garry Godfrey. You won’t be handed to a junior consultant. Garry works with you from the first conversation to your three-month review, and brings in trusted specialists when a particular issue needs them — always alongside your own accountant or finance broker.
Do I need a business management consultant if I already have an accountant?
Your accountant and a business consultant do different jobs. Your accountant looks after compliance, tax and your financial statements. We focus on how the business operates and performs, and how to improve it. We work alongside your accountant or finance broker, so our advice and theirs point in the same direction.
