Smart Business ConsultingAbout Us

Why People Choose Us.

Most business coaches focus on motivation or mindset. We focus on clarity, strategy, and measurable results - grounded in the facts of your finances and the systems that drive your business. At Smart Business Consulting you get true advisory support, advice shaped by commercial acumen, financial expertise, and real-world experience.

Led by Smart Business Solutions Group Founder, Shannon Smit, who brings over 30 years of business leadership and global experience in the Big 4 to every client engagement. Shannon and the team don’t just advise business owners - they are business owners, running one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most respected advisory groups. That means you’re working with people who’ve built, grown, and sustained success - not just theorised about it. You get guidance that’s tested in the real world.

Financially Grounded, Strategically Driven

We Explain the ‘Why’ We’re Partners, Not Cheerleaders

Most business coaches focus on mindset. We focus on metrics that matter. Because great businesses don’t grow on motivation - they grow on margin, systems, and strategy.

We start with your numbers, because they reveal everything: your pressure points, opportunities, and profit leaks. From there, we create a strategic roadmap built around your goals,  whether that’s scaling, improving cashflow, or getting your time back. With Smart, you’re not just guessing what might work, you’re executing a plan built on facts.


Numbers are powerful, but only when you understand what they’re telling you. That’s where we’re different. We don’t just hand you reports and ratios; we explain the why behind the what.

Why cashflow is tightening.
Why a pricing model isn’t sustainable.
Why growth feels harder than it should.

And most importantly, what to do about it. We turn your financial data into actionable insight, helping you make smarter, faster, and more confident business decisions.

You won’t find hollow pep talks or empty praise here. We’re not here to pat you on the back. We’re here to help you build a better business. That means sometimes we’ll challenge your thinking.
We’ll ask tough questions. And we’ll stand beside you through the changes, not just telling you what to do, but
helping you make it happen. We’re the partner who runs alongside you - guiding, supporting, and holding you accountable until your business is performing at its best.

clients say

Yes, we are paying for a service, but it is like I have a running buddy with me all of the time.
