Peter has spent more than 15 years inside the Australian startup ecosystem, including a decade-plus as CFO at ASX-listed Jayride – where he helped raise over $44 million and guided the business through growth, public listing, pandemic disruption and significant market change. He’s also an active angel investor through Sydney Angels, so he understands the founder’s side of the table as well as the CFO’s. He’s hands-on by nature – not just the strategy and board work, but the operational detail and financial workflows that make businesses run. If you need a finance partner who’s been through the real pressure of scaling, he’s done it from the inside.

“Standard Ledger’s fractional CFO services identified KPIs driving operational improvements, making us an attractive acquisition target. Strategic exit planning structured our finances to maximise returns, and negotiating the complexities of the sale process secured us a deal that recognised our full value.”

“John and the team have really understood our R&D story from day one, and have always had a plan for it. We’re in the third year of working together now, and it’s been really great.”

“We didn’t hesitate to outsource our company set up to Standard Ledger. Knowing that they’ll let us know what’s needed, where to sign and what to do is a huge weight off our shoulders. Our bank even commented on how well set up our documentation was!”

“R&D tax is an annual critical source of funding for us and we’ve used Standard Ledger since the beginning. It’s also been crucial to have the R&D finance option to get us through until we could get some more funding.”
“Standard Ledger developed a financial model that has been invaluable to our growth. It has given us visibility across our cashflow and provided the clarity and confidence we needed to take things to the next level.”
