In short

The Authority is a Perth business growth consultancy for established, owner-led businesses. We find what's actually true in the numbers, the team and the sales process, then fix it in order: foundations, standards, financials, rhythm, then growth. It starts with a free 15-minute Growth Audit.

The problem

If this is your week, you're who we work with.

  • Too many decisions, problems and exceptions still need you.
  • The standard lives in your head, so you explain it again and again.
  • You delegate the task, then spend the day checking it got done.
  • Revenue's growing, but you couldn't say which jobs make money.
  • The team is flat out and the bank account doesn't show it.
  • Work comes in waves: flat out, then chasing the next job.

It's rarely the thing you think.

Most owners think the fix is more leads, better staff or a new system. Usually it's that the business still runs through them. Add leads, staff or software to that and you've added more to your own plate.

The way out is to move what lives in your head into the business: a standard the team can run, numbers you can act on early, and a weekly rhythm that catches problems before they reach you. In that order. Then growth.

How we fix it

Four pillars, then growth. The order is the point.

Each pillar creates capacity for the next. The foundations settle where the business is going. The standard gets what's in your head written, taught and checked. The financials show where money is made and where it leaks. The rhythm keeps it running without you in every meeting.

Growth comes last, because more work only helps a business that can carry it. How the Pillar System works →

FAQ

Questions owners ask.

Who do you work with?

Established, owner-led businesses, usually $1M+ in revenue, with a team that still depends on the owner too much. Most are trades, construction, landscaping and service businesses.

How is a consultancy different from a business coach?

A coach mostly works on you. We work on the business: the numbers, the standards, who owns what, and the rhythm that keeps it running. Every engagement is led by our founder and director, Josh Roa.

What does it cost to start?

The 15-minute Growth Audit is free. The Business Growth Audit is a fixed $1,800 + GST. Ongoing work is scoped from the findings and runs month to month.

Do you work outside Perth?

Yes. We're based in Perth and work with clients across Australia, including Queensland, the Northern Territory, Victoria and New South Wales. Most of the work runs over video calls.
