Smarter Systems. Stronger Business. More Freedom.
Work less, earn more, and build a more valuable business that doesn’t rely on you to run.
Whether your goal is more free time, financial freedom, or just not working 80-hour weeks, I’ll help you streamline your business, put the right systems in place, and get clear on where you’re going. At Tegus, I believe your business should support your life, not the other way around.
You’re Great at What You Do.
That’s How You Got Here.
But no one teaches you how to run a business.
You start out doing the thing you’re great at—building, advising, treating, fixing.
Suddenly you’ve got clients, a team, BAS deadlines, and a business that’s demanding more than it gives back.
It’s not just about being good at your craft anymore.
Now it’s about managing people, cash flow, pricing, and strategy.
That’s where Tegus comes in.

About James
Most business owners don’t need more theory. They need someone who gets it.
I’m James, CPA, business consultant, and founder of Tegus. I’ve spent the last decade inside the engine rooms of real businesses, helping owners simplify the chaos, get clarity around their numbers, and build something they actually enjoy running.
I studied Business and Commerce at Monash University, majoring in Accounting and Management. After earning my CPA and Public Practice License, I became a partner at one of Australia’s top-ranked accounting firms (as recognised by the Australian Business Review). But for me, the best part was never the tax returns. It was the conversations.
I loved hearing what business owners were chasing and what was keeping them up at night. I loved celebrating the wins. Watching things click. Seeing clients back in control, with space to think bigger (or take a break without everything falling apart). That’s the work that matters.
And that’s why I started Tegus.
Because running a business doesn’t come with a manual. And being “the boss” doesn’t mean you should magically know how to do everything, from pricing to cash flow to managing a team. It’s okay not to have all the answers. That’s what I’m here for.
Tegus exists to help you build a business that works for you. One that’s profitable, systemised, and scalable without you needing to be everywhere, every second, holding it together with duct tape and hope. Whether you want to grow, simplify, or just feel like you’re back in control again, I can help.
Because at the end of the day, business should give you more freedom, not more stress.
If that’s what you’re looking for, get in touch. I’d love to help.
