Hi, I’m scott haumaha.

My purpose is to help small business owners achieve BIG things in their business, life and community by guiding, challenging and supporting owners.

Too many times I meet the struggling small business owner working 12+ hr days, most days, just to meet payroll and keep the lights on, while barely getting any of the financial reward that they deserve. It’s at this point where it would be fair to start questioning yourself and why you chose to own a business in the first place. This is where myself and SME Collective come in to promise you that it does not have to be this way. In fact you can build the business of your dreams and achieve the freedom, time and money that owning your own business promised you. It won’t be easy and will require getting outside of your comfort zone and doing some things differently. But you do not have to do it alone or figure it out all yourself - help is available if you are ready.

Welcome to my world of business coaching, where professional expertise meets a personable approach to transform you and your business. With a broad background across several industries such as accounting, finance, startups, governance, and financial planning, I bring a wealth of experience to the table.

As a STARTUP ADVISER I know how hard it is to create something out of nothing and build a sustainable business.
As a CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT I know how to read and tell the story of your financials.
As a BUSINESS OWNER I know the financials will never tell the full picture of what is happening in your business and that they are simply a reflection of the hundreds of decisions that are made in your business every day.
As a WELLBEING ADVOCATE I know how important it is to look after yourself, to ensure that you show up as the best version of you, for your own benefit and for those that rely on you.

What problems I help you solve…

You want to understand the business tactics and strategies and how to apply them in your business.
You are ready to hire your first employee BUT do not know where to start and want to do it right.
You are ready to grow your team BUT the lack of systems and processes creates chaos.
Your business is growing in sales and people BUT its not flowing through to your bottom line.

When you choose to work with me you can expect the following…

To be challenged in a firm but fair manner - excuses will not be tolerated.
To gain one of your biggest supporters to cheer you on and pick you up - you can count on me.
To be held accountable to what you commit to doing.
To have some fun and get some sh*t done along the way.

Who I choose to work with…

I work with ‘do-ers’ and change-makers.
Those who value wellbeing in themselves and in others.
I specialise in working with solopreneurs and small business owners - less than 10 employees.

Coaching and helping people achieve their aspirations in business and life is an absolute passion of mine. However the decision to transition into full-time coaching was not an easy one. Even though I had been coaching and advising people in all of my professional roles and in my own personal circles the commitment to go out on my own as a Business Coach was a step which came with a decent amount of self-doubt and a triple dose of impostor syndrome. However, after reminding myself that I have so much to offer (like we all do) in the knowledge, experience and skillsets that I have accumulated plus my personal commitment to see people succeed and achieve amazing things in life I know deep down the coaching path is for me. I am confident that anyone I work with will receive a huge amount of value.
