The consultant who doesn't fit the mould. That's the point.

I help Australian small and medium businesses get secure, get more out of Microsoft, and put AI to work — without the big-firm price tag or the freelancer gamble.

The problem

You've had two bad options. Here's the third.

The big consulting firms charge enterprise prices for a junior consultant reading from a playbook. Freelancers are cheap, but you're rolling the dice on someone with no track record and no interest in where your business is headed.

I sit in the gap on purpose. Senior-level work, small-business prices, and advice that starts with your business goals — not with whatever software someone's being paid to sell you.

That last part matters: I don't take commissions from Microsoft or anyone else. When I recommend a tool, it's because it's right for you, not because it pays me.


Three services

Three ways I can help

Security That Fits Your Business

AI has made scams faster, cheaper, and more convincing. Most small businesses are defending themselves with tools from five years ago. I'll show you exactly where you're exposed and fix what matters most — in plain English, with a clear list of actions.

AI Agents That Do Real Work

Not chatbots. Not hype. AI assistants that handle the repetitive work quietly eating your team's week — answering common questions, chasing paperwork, summarising inboxes. Built safely, so your business data stays yours.

Get Your Money's Worth From Microsoft

You're probably already paying for Microsoft 365. Most businesses use about a third of what they pay for. I'll set it up properly, cut the licences you don't need, and make the tools you own actually work for you.

Sample engagements

Fixed scope. Fixed price. Written before we start.

You see the deliverable and the price before you commit. Three of the most common engagements:

  • Security Health CheckFrom $1,500 + GST · 1 week · fixed price
  • Microsoft Licence & Waste ReviewFrom $1,200 + GST · 1 week · fixed price
  • First AI Agent (single-task pilot)From $2,500 + GST · 2–3 weeks · fixed price

How I work

No fluff. Just a list of what to do next.

Every engagement ends the same way: a prioritised list of actions in plain English. What to fix first, what it costs, what happens if you don't. No 60-page report you'll never read. No jargon designed to keep you dependent on a consultant.

  1. Step 1 — We talk.

    A free 30-minute conversation about your business. No sales pitch.

  2. Step 2 — I look under the hood.

    A focused review of your setup — security, Microsoft licences, or where AI could save you time.

  3. Step 3 — You get an action plan.

    Prioritised, costed, in plain English. Do it yourself, have me do it, or hand it to your IT provider. Your call.

The name

Why "Odd One Out"?

Because I don't fit the industry's boxes, and I'm not trying to. Not a big firm. Not a one-gig freelancer. Not on any vendor's payroll. The odd one out is the one who works for you and nobody else.


Get started

Start with a conversation. It costs nothing.

30 minutes, no obligation, no pitch. Worst case, you walk away with two or three things worth fixing.
