The Excel control room, engineered like software.

Lodestone Analytics is the data and systems business of the Lodestone Nexus Group. It is built for Australian SMEs that have outgrown spreadsheets but don’t want a twelve-month ERP programme to find out what happened last week.

Operator logic, software discipline.

Real-world operator logic

Built around the decisions a GM, COO or CFO actually makes, by people who have had to make them. The models sit where the argument happens, not where the data happens to be tidy.

A published standard

Tested, versioned and auditable against the Lodestone Control System Standard: the nine-tab spine, the cell-state scheme and the QA gate. You can read all of it before you buy anything.

Fixed scope, fixed prices

Three published prices and a target install of 14 days from data access, with a named exit condition at each phase. No discovery phase that quietly becomes the project.

Honest about fit

If the diagnostic says your control is already strong, we say so and point you at governance, not a dashboard you don’t need.

Why I started Lodestone Analytics

I’ve worked with a lot of business owners who were technically brilliant, had great contacts and did the basics well. Then the business got bigger. More people, more customers, more things to juggle and keep track of. That’s where the focus went, and with it, the value of the business.

I’ve spent three decades in business, most of it in manufacturing and mining, in COO, CFO and Head of Strategy roles. I know how to break a business down to what matters and what actually delivers value, and how to get an owner to where they’re heading.

I built Lodestone Analytics because when a growing business can see the one number that runs its week, and trust it, the arguments stop and the focus comes back.

I’m based in Australia, and I work wherever my clients are.

Qualifications: Chartered Accountant · Chartered Secretary · Six Sigma · Lead ISO Auditor
