About Straughan Consulting Pty Ltd
A Melbourne-based professional business and consulting firm helping Australian organisations make clearer decisions, build stronger operations and plan with confidence.
Our Story
Straughan Consulting Pty Ltd was founded on a simple conviction: Australian businesses deserve advice that is practical, honest and grounded in real operating experience. Too many organisations were receiving consultant reports that gathered dust on shelves. We set out to do things differently.
From our base in Melbourne, we work with owners, boards and leadership teams across Australia. Whether the task is refining a business strategy, untangling operational inefficiencies, improving financial reporting or guiding a period of change, we focus on outcomes that can be measured, not just presented.
We are proud of our reputation for candour. If we believe a course of action will not serve your interests, we will say so, clearly and respectfully. That commitment to honesty underpins every engagement we accept.
Based in Melbourne VIC, serving organisations across Australia.
Our Values
Integrity First
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what is easiest to sell. Our advice is independent, and we declare any conflict of interest before it can affect our work.
Practical Outcomes
Strategy only matters if it can be implemented. Every recommendation we make is tied to the resources, capabilities and realities of your organisation.
Respect for People
We treat your team, your customers and your stakeholders with the same care we would expect for our own. Change is done with people, not to them.
A collaborative, senior-led approach to every engagement.
Our Team Approach
Every engagement is led by a senior consultant. We do not sell you the expertise of the firm's most experienced people and then deliver the work through junior staff. The person who scopes your project is the person who works on it.
We work alongside your team rather than apart from it. Our consultants embed with your staff for the duration of an engagement, share knowledge openly, and build capability so that improvements continue long after we have left the room.
Where specialist expertise is required, such as legal, tax or technical engineering matters, we coordinate with your existing advisers rather than duplicating their work.
Credentials and Governance
Straughan Consulting Pty Ltd is a registered Australian proprietary company operating under Australian Business Number ABN 89 703 349 080. We maintain full professional indemnity insurance and operate in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Our consultants hold tertiary qualifications in business, commerce and management disciplines, and maintain ongoing professional development in strategy, finance, operations and workplace relations. Engagement terms are always documented in writing, with clear scope, deliverables and pricing.
We are committed to the ethical standards expected of professional advisers in Australia, including confidentiality, independence and the responsible handling of client information.
Documented, professional engagement standards on every project.
