Helping Growing Businesses
Get Back in Control
When your business starts to expand, things get complicated fast.
ICBS brings structure, clarity, and control, leaving you to focus on growth.
About ICBS
I’m Luke Nelson, a Registered BAS Agent and Xero Certified Advisor. I graduated from QUT with a Bachelor of Business, majoring in Accountancy. Process improvement has long been a passion of mine, which led me to study Business Process Improvement and Management as part of my degree.
I have more than 20 years’ experience in the industry, working across accounting firms, universities and the private sector. I use that experience to work directly with business owners, taking the pressure of financial management off their plate while helping improve the systems and processes behind their business.
At ICBS, you won’t be treated like a number. You’ll deal directly with me — someone who takes the time to understand your business and is invested in helping it grow.
How I Support
Your Business
I work alongside you, getting to know your business and understanding the detail, so you have practical support and the right information when decisions need to be made.
I take care of the financial and administrative side of your business, provide you with focused meaningful reporting that is tailored to your business.
You don’t have to work through the night getting your books in order, then spend all day servicing your clients. I identify the systems and processes your business needs, then work alongside you to design a structure that works for your organisation.
Together, we implement it using the digital tools already at your disposal, with regular reviews to refine, optimise and improve the structure of your business.
-
End-to-end support including reconciliations, accounts management, and keeping your financials accurate and up to date.
Contracts for medium to long term projects? I have expertise in finding the “fine print” ensuring there are no unwanted surprises, and negotiating better terms.
No more paper, no lost receipts. Direct receipt submissions to XERO’s cloud based software for all your daily business expenses. Submit once and move on.
-
Regulatory compliance is woven into day-to-day tasks seamlessly so as it is almost unseen. Shifting the focus then to growth and profitability.
Cloud based Payroll and Pay Day Super done on-time every time. BAS & IAS lodgements finalised weeks before due date, not hours.
I find the correct Award for your industry and set up your payroll system. I can negotiate a full Enterprise Bargaining Agreement, including union engagement as required.
-
From hiring your first employee, to understanding the associated costs. Process improvement and financial visibility that will help you make better decisions as your business grows.
-
Not every business needs, or can justify the cost of, a full-time CFO. I bring that level of financial experience and support to your business when you need it — without the cost of a permanent executive.
Through detailed budgeting and forecasting, KPI and performance reviews, cash flow planning, growth modelling and financial analysis, I provide tailored guidance for your business.
-
Your organisation may have an existing internal support structure that requires training, guidance and technical support. My expertise and experience becomes a stable point of reference for your team.

I’ve been working with Luke at In Control Business Solutions and it’s been a game changer for my business. He’s taken a lot of the stress out of managing finances and made everything clear and easy to understand.
Luke is always responsive, professional, and genuinely cares about helping you stay on top of things and improve your business. Since working with him, I’ve felt much more in control and confident with my numbers.
Highly recommend Luke to anyone looking for reliable, no-nonsense support.

Since partnering with ICBS my team has become more proficient with using Xero ourselves and are now utilising features in the program that we didn’t previously know existed.
We know we can rely on ICBS to keep our books tidy and always current meaning we spend less with the tax accountant.
ICBS have also been handy for me when I want a quick scenario or project cost analysis done up in order to make informed decisions on the fly, allowing me more time to concentrate on what I’m good at.
