Unlock the Potential of Your Childcare Centre with Our Expert Childcare Accounting Advisory Services!

We work with childcare centre owners to reduce stress and provide a strong platform for growth, improving the efficiency of the centre and ensuring their financial reporting is optimised for peak performance. That way, centre owners and senior management can spend more time on improving and maintaining occupancy levels as opposed to basic operational chores.

The childcare industry is seen by many as a highly profitable and protected industry, with an unusual combination of.. 

    • High regulation supported by government assistance 
    • Historically strict controls over new childcare centre approvals 
    • Tough barriers to entry, both financial and regulatory, with the rules for becoming an approved provider continuing to increase. 

Now more than ever it is important to work with a business advisory practice that has the right industry experience. Our Managing Partner has been involved in the childcare industry for over 20 years, including having had the responsibility as a designated childcare specialist as Senior Banker, where he managed an extensive childcare portfolio.

The profitability of a centre can be influenced by several factors. Occupancy is one key aspect, which can be a function of the centres’ maturity levels or changes in management or ownership. However, occupancy is a lagging indicator; Advivo will work with you to implement strategies to improve your occupancy. Other key factors include the age of children attending, the level of services offered and resultant staffing requirements and rostering, all of which need to be monitored and tracked. Advivo provides the insights needed to ensure profitability is maximised at all levels. 

When Advivo works with the management team, we free them up to attend to the task of managing the centre and ensuring the children are their priority. We ensure the right systems and tools are in place and that the right people are doing the right job to take the pressure off the centre owner. 

We also understand the concerns, as with any industry that is highly regulated and dependent on government support, that new governments are prone to change the legislation. We make sure we understand these changes, and their impact on financial management and become true business partners to our childcare centre clients. 

For many years we have said the cost of starting or purchasing a new centre was prohibitive and, as such, formed a natural barrier to substantial increases in competition. However, in more recent times we have seen a substantial increase in new development approvals for centres and subsequent new centre openings, which has dramatically increased the level of competition. 

Do you have the cash flow or contingency reserves to adjust to a changing financing environment with increased competition, higher interest rates and a possible increase in principal repayments now being required to service your current borrowings?
