Our Purpose
We believe the best decisions are backed by insight , grounded in data, guided by experience, and focused on meaningful outcomes. Too many businesses operate without proper oversight of their numbers, which can lead to missed opportunities, inefficiencies, and unnecessary risk.
​
At LedgerLift, we provide outsourced financial leadership that delivers the benefits of senior level expertise, without the headcount, overhead, or long term commitment of hiring in-house. You gain access to executive level capability at a fraction of the cost, with the flexibility to scale support as your business grows.
Who We Are
LedgerLift is founded and led by Jared Magee CA, a finance leader with over 15 years of experience spanning chartered accounting practice, ASX-listed multinationals, PE-backed consolidation groups, and high-growth online marketplaces.
​
Jared began his career in accounting and advisory before progressing into senior finance leadership roles across complex, multi-entity environments. He has built and led finance teams of up to 14, implemented enterprise-wide ERP and payroll systems, led buyer and vendor due diligence on a private equity exit, and served as the finance lead through rapid acquisition growth, scaling one business from 8 to 84 sites.
​
This combination of technical depth, commercial perspective, and hands-on operating experience is what LedgerLift brings to every engagement.​
Who We Work With
We work with founder led and owner operated businesses, from early stage to $20M+ revenue, that need structured financial leadership without appointing a full time CFO.
​
Our clients are ambitious companies navigating growth, complexity or transition. They value strategic insight and commercial clarity through a flexible solution aligned to their stage and scale.
​
Typical clients have outgrown their bookkeeper and need stronger oversight and reporting. Founders seeking clearer visibility over performance, cash flow and profitability. Growing businesses wanting CFO level capability and board ready reporting without full time cost. Companies preparing to scale, restructure, raise capital or strengthen their finance function for long term growth.
​
We operate across E-Commerce & Online Marketplaces, SaaS & Technology, Healthcare & Medical, and Professional Services. The common thread is growth focused leadership teams seeking financial clarity and confidence in their numbers.
