Finance systems built and run by a working fractional CFO · New Zealand, Australia, United States
Finance run on systems, not headcount.
Infraxus is a finance systems firm run by a working fractional CFO. We do the accounting for small businesses in New Zealand and the bookkeeping in Australia and the US, and rebuild the finance function for businesses that have outgrown theirs.
Led by Liam Collier, ex-BDO business advisory, who ran finance for a 130 person firm.
How we work
Three ways to work with us.
One firm and one idea, at three levels. The accounting and bookkeeping run on the same systems we build into growing businesses.

Client work
The work, in the clients’ words.
Plumbing subcontractor, Perth. A bookkeeper he had paid never connected to his Xero file, so he had been building it himself.
- $5,050Back in his pocket from the first CFO note
- $13,000The company owed him, and nobody had recorded it
- 22Hours from first access to a clean, reconciled file
- 97.7%Of his costs sitting in one account on arrival
The file. Not one transaction reconciled, $7,600 showing as owed to suppliers he had already paid, and a van the company did not know it owned. Inside 22 hours the ledger was rebuilt around how a plumbing business spends, every receipt read, the bank reconciled.
The money he was owed. Matching every card on every receipt showed about $13,000 of business costs he had paid personally, tools, the van deposit, loan and insurance. It is now on the books as owed back to him, tax free.
The thing a bookkeeper would not have seen. His GST registration started the day he was told to register, which was after he bought the van. A coding exercise leaves that alone. The first CFO note read the GST registration record, saw the gap, and set out the one call to the tax office that backdates it: about $5,050 back, nothing to pay in return. That note cost him nothing. At $149 a month it would have paid for the next 34 months.
Every month since. Feeds reconciled, every receipt read, upcoming payments visible before they leave, and a note on the 5th that says what the numbers mean and what to do about them.
CFO client
“When our previous CFO moved on, Liam stepped in as our fractional CFO and has been the person we go to for anything complex in our finances since. He prepares the financial statements for our group entities, ran our annual budgeting process, and owns the forecasts our external stakeholders rely on. When we changed payroll and HR platforms mid-year, he delivered the migration on schedule, with every employee record and leave balance reconciled. He is highly responsive and turns urgent work around at short notice.”
CFO client
“Liam rebuilt our budget from the bottom up and restructured the ledger so we could actually see delivery margins and where payroll was really going… The reporting was genuinely useful: true cash position after obligations, utilisation by consultant, and straight commentary on what needed a decision each month. Always delivered on time, no fuss, and having clean numbers made life easier when the business changed hands.”
Bookkeeping client
“Switching across to Liam was honestly the biggest wake-up call. With the old bloke, everything just went to general expenses because that was the closest he could find. Now I go into the account codes and I can see job materials, consumables, all of it. This is what I expected before and got peanuts. Now we’re talking.”
We work with clients in New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
Why it’s different
Built by a CFO, not a software installer.
Most firms add people as you grow. We add systems, and a senior person runs them.
01
The same systems we run our own firm on.
Every week they run our own client work across three countries, with a senior person checking every number. What we build for you is proven on real files, not a demo.
02
Fixed fees, never hourly.
You know the price before the work starts. A quote is the whole cost, and it does not grow with the hours.
03
One senior person doing the work.
The person on the first call is the person who does the work. No junior learning on your file, no team you never meet.
Who’s behind it
Liam Collier, founder.
Business advisory at BDO first, then running the finance function of a 130 person professional services firm: cash, reporting, profitability and the decisions owners make on them. I completed the CA program, then chose commercial finance over compliance work. Infraxus is what I built after that: the systems I wish every growing business had, run by someone senior.
