Our Credibility
Cofficient Consulting Team
The Cofficient consulting team comes from a diverse set of backgrounds that complement one another. With a generation of age between each consultant they bring a unique combined perspective. Obviously, any consultancy we engage in provides value, but when a consultancy client also uses our back-office we are able to do an even better job with faster implementation and better follow up.

David Solomon - Consultant
David assumes responsibility for the development of cost reduction and business improvement practices in client businesses. In the early 90’s David worked in recruitment and the then emerging outsourced human resources field. He migrated into small business consulting where he has mentored many start-up and early stage companies, as well as coached small business owners and directors on a wide variety of matters. During this time he has seen many small business issues and successes. David’s experience in people issues, financial turn-around, processes and systems, sales and marketing and capital raising is second to none.
Andrew Ward - Consultant
Andrew or “Wardy” as he is widely known fits the stereotype of the 'entrepreneur'. An idealist that left university without a degree, he pursued his first 'pot-of-gold' and turned it into a 'dot bomb'. This event at 21 years of age lost all his savings. So with nothing but debts and his 2 hands, he went on to found the very successful 3 Minute Angels business in 2002. He now spends his time between Cofficient and his four other ventures, all of which use Cofficient as their outsourced finance and administration back office.

Processes
Cofficient is expert in business processes having already tailored over 100 back office solutions for clients.
Internally we use a custom scheduling software that provides clients with an easy way to give us instructions (regular, calendarised or ad-hoc). Once in receipt of the instruction(s) via the website (or phonecall, IM, email etc.) the 'ticket' is actioned by the appropriate specialist within the 'pod'. Once the action is taken, the accounting package (MYOB, QuickBooks etc.) is automatically updated. Furthermore the 'down-the-line' processes are engaged and trigger more tickets for each specialist within the 'pod'. More...
Partners
Cofficient works with a range of partners depending on what is required for the client. We have agreements with multinational companies, publicly listed companies and private companies. In essence we will seek out and partner with the right company to assist our clients.
