Services

So what do we do? And what can we do for you?

Our Services

  • Government consultation

    Government funding bodies trust us to advise on the biggest, most complex organisations.

    We’ve done detailed reviews of dozens of arts organisations, big and small.

  • Organisational reviews

    We’ve run hundreds (yes hundreds!) of business and operational reviews for creative industry business and arts organisations.

    Whatever your industry, we’ve got ideas to build and improve your operations.

  • Business planning

    We write business plans, but ours get read and used. Because we get creative businesses.

    We take time to understand your business goals and build plans to help you achieve them.

  • Facilitation

    Strategy sessions, planning days, consultation sessions. We don’t just facilitate, we help you get traction on the issues that matter to your team.

    All killer, no filler. We plan and deliver facilitated sessions that are valued and impactful.

  • Financial analysis

    We crunch numbers for government funding bodies looking for insights. And for organisations building robust business cases.

    We combine financial nous with creative industries understanding to show what the numbers mean, not just what they say.

  • Financial literacy training

    Our financial literacy training is renowned for being engaging and interesting. No, really.

    Because we speak both creative and accounting (but not creative accounting).

    Our financial literacy training has been delivered to:

    • arts organisations
    • individual artists
    • arts boards
    • funding body staff

  • Governance consultation and training

    Our governance consultation and training helps board members understand their roles and improve performance.

    We’ve helped dozens of boards evaluate, strategies and plan for the future.

  • Advisory boards

    We put together advisory boards, that drive business performance.

    We’ve set up advisory boards for many small businesses which help owners make decisions and keep them accountable for their business growth. It’s a powerful tool for accelerating business success.

  • Screen industry strategy

    We've got loads of screen industry experience

    Our clients work in drama, doco and animation. We understand the unique pressures and opportunities of running a screen industry business.

  • Creating resources

    We create resources and programs that help creative entrepreneurs.

    We’ve made online resources such as Create NSW’s Creating New Income Toolkit. And designed programs like Creative Australia’s MATCHLab. All delivering valuable information and training to arts professionals.

  • Cultural Infrastructure Planning

    The big projects – new galleries, new theatres – in fact cultural infrastructure of any kind.

    We write business cases that garner the support needed to make cultural infrastructure happen. And we do the research and analysis to plan for their future.

Our Clients

We work with likeminded organisations looking to ....

I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with Wendy Mather through a critical period in our company’s growth. Wendy provided exceptional strategic advice for Co-Curious and we now have a clearly defined, action-oriented plan to grow into a sustainable and impactful company for the long term. I always looked forward to my meetings with Wendy - it was a time to regroup, get perceptive and work with someone who has an innate business sense and understood immediately what set our company apart.
