Pre-Insolvency
Advisor

For over 20 years, Andrew has been on a mission. The mission: to help as many businesses get through their financial difficulties and succeed.

It’s a mission born out of his own experience as a struggling business owner and a personal journey out of, what could have been, his demise.

Determined and clear about his life’s purpose, Andrew set up Wisdom Business Consulting (formerly known as AJS Advisory) a company that has helped hundreds of struggling business owners/directors not just to pull through, but to flourish.

His unique model includes business restructuring to minimise financial risk as well as providing pre-insolvency advice. With over 500 pre-insolvency jobs under his belt, there isn’t any situation Andrew hasn’t seen before. In fact, Andrew’s business experience spans across a variety of industries: from builders and trade-related companies to manufacturing, transport, hotels/motels, restaurants and everything in between. Regardless of the industry and business size, Andrew knows exactly how to help.

That’s because he knows firsthand what it’s like to struggle in business. He also knows what it’s like to succeed. With his knowledge and experience, coupled with a genuine passion for helping businesses, Andrew can help your business, not only to survive, but to thrive.

Working with many of Australia's most iconic brands has allowed me for exposure to many start-up companies. Seeing first hand their enthusiasm and passion to forge ahead in business but also their failings as they struggle to navigate through sometimes dangerous waters with limited advice and guidance.

My role is to support the growth of Wisdom through the development and execution of strategies which help businesses stay in business.

Every day I attempt to understand why entrepreneurs young and old may want to build and grow a business. It's through this deep understanding and respect that I am able to articulate how we are positioned to support them through what can be the most traumatic of times.

It's fair to say that the business landscape has seen a fair amount of disruption in recent years. New players, new tech and all kinds of inquiries across industries have made it difficult for some businesses. All of those factors have not dampened the spirits of business owners to build a future for themselves and their families.

Of course, the success I have been blessed with has allowed me to spend more time working with charities and community organisations and supporting my biggest passion which is to help people manage their health. The WHO (World Health Organisation) has stated that by 2025, 80% of the world will be overweight or obese. Thankfully there is a solution and it's real food, not medical or pharmaceutical.

My motto: Success - is the ability to move from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. Winston Churchill.
