Are you a Melbourne trade business owner stuck in the cycle of long hours, unpredictable cash flow, and never-ending client chasing?
With the right strategies, pricing structure, and business systems, you can run a profitable, efficient, and scalable business — without working yourself into the ground!
As a business coach for Melbourne trade businesses, I help business owners like you stop grinding and start growing. With real-world strategies, tailored coaching, and a focus on financial clarity, we’ll turn your trade business into a well-oiled, profit-driven machine.
You wouldn’t trust an amateur to run your jobs, right? So why take business advice from someone who doesn’t understand the unique challenges of running a trade business?
✔ Cash Flow Control – No more feast-or-famine cycles. We’ll stabilise your income so you always have money in the bank.
✔ Lead Generation – Ditch the “hope and pray” marketing. I’ll show you how to attract quality, high-paying clients consistently.
✔ Pricing for Profit – Stop undercharging. Get paid what you’re worth and price jobs with confidence and clarity.
✔ Team Building & Retention – Struggling with finding, keeping, and motivating staff? We’ll fix that.
✔ Systemisation & Automation – Free yourself from the daily grind by streamlining your operations.
No vague theories. No one-size-fits-all advice. Just practical strategies tailored for Melbourne trade business owners who want serious results.
When TM Pro Plumbing came to us, owner Tom had the technical skills to get the work done, but the business side was holding him back. He was dealing with inconsistent cash flow, pricing that wasn’t reflecting his true costs, an outdated quoting system, and a team structure that wasn’t set up to scale. He was working hard but not seeing the financial rewards he deserved…
Sound familiar?
Here’s what we did:
✔ Reviewed and restructured pricing to ensure every job was profitable — not just busy.
✔ Overhauled the accounting and quoting systems to give Tom real visibility over job costs, margins, and cash flow.
✔ Fixed the debtor collection cycle to eliminate the cash flow gaps that were stressing the business month to month.
✔ Restructured the team — getting the right people into the right roles to support growth without compromising service quality.
The result?
More profit, more time, less stress. That’s what happens when you take control of your business instead of letting it control you.
Get a clear understanding of your financials and implement strategies to ensure you’re never caught short. Together, we’ll map out your cash flow, so you know exactly what’s happening with your money.
I’ll work with you to implement reliable, proven systems that consistently generate high-quality leads. No more uncertainty or stress about where your next job will come from.
If your business relies on you being involved in everything, it's not a business — it's a job. We'll design and implement systems and processes so you can work on the business, not in it.
It’s time to move beyond break-even. We’ll implement a simple but powerful profit strategy so you can pay yourself (what you're worth) consistently and grow your financial security.
A personalised action plan tailored to your business with ongoing accountability.
Fortnightly 1:1 coaching sessions to work through your progress and refine strategies.
Clear, actionable steps that build confidence in your business and decision-making.
A stronger sense of control over your time, finances, team, and daily operations.
This package is your roadmap out of overwhelm and into a business that pays you what you deserve and frees up your time.
We work with you 1:1 through regular coaching sessions via Zoom. Sessions are tailored to your specific business — whether that’s cash flow, pricing, team management, lead generation, or profit margins. Most clients see measurable results within the first 90 days.
No. All coaching sessions are via Zoom, so location is no barrier. We work with trade business owners right across Melbourne and surrounding areas without any travel required from either side.
We work with builders, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, mechanics, and a wide range of other trade and service businesses across Melbourne. If your business is generating $50k+ per month in revenue, we can help. Less than $50k per month, give us a call and see how we can help.
Our founder Scott Keevers is a former Chartered Accountant. That means we combine practical business coaching with genuine financial expertise — helping you understand and improve the numbers behind your business, not just the strategy. Most business coaches can’t do both.
Most clients see meaningful improvements within the first 90 days — particularly around cash flow clarity, pricing confidence, and lead generation. Longer-term transformation typically develops over 6–12 months of consistent coaching.
Let’s reframe the question — business coaching isn’t a cost, it’s an investment. And like any investment, what matters is the return.
Our coaching programs range from $1k to $5k per month depending on the size and complexity of your business and the frequency of sessions. That includes 1:1 coaching, financial reviews, unlimited support, accountability, business growth tools, scaling roadmaps, and more.
Yes. We work with trade business owners right across Greater Melbourne — the inner suburbs, the eastern corridor, the south east, and the rapidly growing outer west including Werribee, Tarneit, and Melton, as well as the north through to Craigieburn and Epping. Whether you’re based in Dandenong, Frankston, Knox, Ringwood, or anywhere in between, all sessions are via Zoom so there’s no travel involved on either side.
SK Business Coaching has a highly experienced team of executives with complementary skill sets – giving business owners the growth team they need to win with confidence.
