I'm Jude Briggs. I spent thirty years running finance functions for other people's businesses. Now I do it for practice owners in law, insurance, dental and medical who've outgrown their bookkeeper but aren't ready to put a CFO on the payroll.
Week 9 dips below your buffer. Seen eight weeks out, it's a timing fix, not a crisis.
The business is profitable on paper, but the bank balance swings and you're never quite sure why.
You know what happened last quarter. You don't know what to do about next quarter.
Hiring an associate, setting fees, fitting out a new room or opening a second location: made on gut feel, because nobody's modelled them.
Forecasting, reporting and a sounding board for the decisions that matter, on a monthly retainer.
Bookkeeping, BAS, payroll and tax returns, done properly, so the advice rests on numbers you can trust.
Controls, cash stress-testing and continuity planning, so one bad month doesn't become a bad year.
Tell me what's on your mind. No preparation needed.
I review your numbers and tell you plainly what I see and what I'd do first.
Forecast, report, decide. A finance partner who knows your business, not a bill once a year.
“Business operations trump accounting every day. The numbers serve the business, not the other way around.”

I've been a Financial Controller for start-ups, ASX-listed groups and global subsidiaries. I started Full Cycle Accounting in 2017 because I wanted to do that work for owners who care about their business the way only an owner does.
Lock-up on billed and unbilled work after tightening the billing cycle. An illustrative example, not a client result.
A 13-week cash forecast shows a new chair fit-out landing in a quiet month, so the timing moves. An illustrative example, not a client result.
A KPI pack tracks commission timing against wages, so a slow renewal month is seen early. An illustrative example, not a client result.
An experienced finance leader who works with your business part-time on a retainer. You get forecasting, reporting, modelling and a sounding board for big decisions, at a cost that makes sense for a business your size.
Owner-led practices, mostly law firms, insurance brokers, and dental and medical practices, that have outgrown year-end tax and tidy books. I also work with trades and other service businesses. If you're asking “what should I do about this?” more often than “what happened last month?”, I'd like to hear from you.
Monthly retainers, scoped to the mix of advisory and compliance work and the complexity of your business. After a 30-minute call I'll tell you how I'd approach it and what it would cost.
Yes. You can engage me for advisory only, for the full compliance cycle, or anything in between.
Yes. I'll help get the books in order, identify gaps and prepare the documentation.

A 30-minute call is a good place to start working out what the numbers need to do to get you there.
