Most business owners don’t need a full-time CFO.

But they do need better financial visibility than “the accountant will tell me at tax time.”

This week at BNI Inner West Ember, our spotlight speaker is Gavin Marshall from Marshall Your Finances.

Gavin works with businesses that need proper financial leadership without taking on the fixed cost of a full-time CFO.

That might mean:

• understanding where profit is actually being made
• getting better cash flow visibility
• improving reporting and decision-making
• knowing what the numbers are saying before there’s a problem
• building a stronger financial rhythm as the business grows

It’s a useful one for business owners, advisors and anyone who works with growing businesses that are starting to feel the gap between bookkeeping, accounting and strategic financial leadership.

Friday 22 May
Salisbury Hotel, Stanmore
Meeting from 6:45am

Come along, meet the room, and hear from Gavin.

Most buyers don’t lose a property because they weren’t interested enough.
They lose it because they didn’t know how exposed they were.

The contract looked fine.
The agent sounded helpful.
The price guide seemed “about right.”
The auction strategy felt simple enough.

And then suddenly they’re making one of the biggest financial decisions of their life with half the information they actually need.

This week at BNI Inner West Ember, Mitchell Carrigan from Inner West Nest is our spotlight speaker.

Mitch is a residential buyer’s agent who works with people buying homes across the Inner West — helping them understand the property, the market, the risks, the negotiation dynamics and the real position they’re walking into as a buyer.

It’s a great one for anyone who works with people buying property — brokers, lawyers, accountants, financial advisers, builders, architects, and anyone connected to families making big property decisions.

Buying well is not just about finding the house. It’s about knowing what you’re really buying, what you’re really competing against, and where you could get caught out.

Most people first come to BNI Ember for the networking.

They stay for the referrals, the support, the conversations, and the relationships with a room full of quality professionals and business owners.

But one of the underrated benefits?

You get better at speaking.

Every week, members have the chance to stand up, introduce themselves, explain what they do, tell stories, share insights, and practise being clear in front of a room.

It’s not about being polished.

It’s about getting more comfortable saying who you are, what you do, and who you help.

And for a lot of business owners, that’s a skill worth building.

Most legal problems don’t start as problems.
They start as:

• something not properly documented
• a quick decision without advice
• a contract signed too fast
• or an agreement pulled from somewhere else

And then… later… they become expensive.

This week at BNI, Commercial/Media Lawyer Monique Hennessy is hosting a short panel along with:

• Lyndal Gowland (Family Law)
• William Martyr (Criminal Law)
• Darryl Nguyen (Property Law)

We’re covering:
“The moment you should have called a lawyer — but didn’t.”

Real scenarios. No theory.

If you’re a business owner or advisor, it’s worth your visit.

Most people see the finished building.
Very few understand what it takes to get there.

This week at BNI Inner West Ember, we’ve got a spotlight that’ll be especially relevant for anyone in construction, trades, or property.

Shuvra Saha from Saha Projects will be walking us through the world of commercial construction — the moving parts, the pressures, and what actually goes on behind the scenes to deliver complex projects.

If you’re a tradie, subcontractor, supplier, or even adjacent to the industry… this is one of those sessions where things will click.

Commercial projects aren’t just “bigger jobs”.
They’re a different game entirely:

- tighter timelines
- more stakeholders
- higher risk
and a level of coordination most people never see

Understanding how these projects come together gives you a different appreciation for the people behind them — and where opportunities to collaborate actually sit.

Friday. 6:45am. Stanmore.

Good room. Good people.
And this one will be well worth the early start.

Most family law referrals come with pressure attached.

Clients are emotional. Decisions are time-sensitive. And if the wrong advice is given early, it doesn’t just stay in legal... it flows into lending, tax, structuring, and long-term planning.

That’s why this week’s BNI Inner West Ember spotlight is worth your time.

Lyndal Gowland from Gowland Family Lawyers is speaking on:
Navigating Family Law with Clarity, Not Chaos.

This isn’t just a family law session. It’s a chance to better understand how these situations actually play out; and how, as professionals, we can support clients in a more coordinated, practical way.

For lawyers, brokers, accountants and advisers, this is exactly the kind of crossover knowledge that makes referrals stronger and outcomes better.

City living sounds great… until you try to make it work.

Tight blocks.
Heritage constraints.
Neighbours on every boundary.
And a growing family that suddenly needs more space.

That’s where good design isn’t a luxury… it’s the difference between a house that works and one that doesn’t.

This Friday at BNI Inner West Ember, our spotlight presenter Levi Fletcher, Architect with City Geeks will be speaking on:

“Designing & Building for City Living.”

Levi works at the intersection of architecture, practicality, and real-life constraints — helping people unlock space, light, and functionality in places where it doesn’t feel possible.

If you’re in the Inner West, you already know…
no two sites are straightforward.

This will be a valuable session for anyone thinking about renovating, extending, or just making better use of the space they already have.

How do great property projects really happen?

Not by accident.

The best outcomes usually happen when the right professionals collaborate early… before major decisions are locked in.

This Friday at BNI Inner West Ember, we’re hosting a panel discussion exploring how that collaboration works in the real world.

Panel: How Great Property Projects Really Happen
Buying | Designing | Building

You’ll hear from three members who regularly work together on property projects:

• Mitch Carrigan – Residential Buyer’s Agent
• Levi Fletcher – Architect
• Bijan Mahabadi – Residential Builder

Each of them sits at a different stage of the property journey.

Buyer’s agent → finding the right property
Architect → designing what’s possible
Builder → bringing it to life

During the panel we’ll explore:

• How their collaboration through BNI started
• A real client project where working together improved the outcome
• The biggest mistakes people make when renovating or building
• Why involving the right experts earlier changes everything

If you work anywhere around the property ecosystem — architects, builders, trades, designers, planners, engineers, surveyors, inspectors or consultants — this conversation will be especially valuable.

And if you simply want to see how strong referral relationships create better client outcomes, come along.

Every working life has a risk most people don’t want to think about.

What happens if your income suddenly stops?

Not because you chose to stop working…
but because illness, injury, or life simply throws something unexpected your way.

At this Friday’s BNI Inner West Ember meeting, our spotlight presenter Andrew Crawford will be speaking on:

“This Working Life – The Importance of Insurance.”

Andrew specialises in life insurance and income protection, helping individuals and families protect the one asset most people rely on every day: their ability to earn an income.

It’s a topic many people delay thinking about…
until something happens.

If you run a business, support a family, or rely on your income to fund your future, this will be a valuable session.

📍 Salisbury Hotel, Stanmore
🗓 Friday 13 March
⏰ Meeting starts 6:45am

Visitors are always welcome.
