Lucent Advisory: Outsourced business support solutions

Lucent Advisory provides flexible, scalable business support across bookkeeping, accounting, tax, payroll, HR, and CFO and business advisory services. Whether you engage us in one area or across your entire back office, we make outsourcing easy by operating as an extension of your team and managing your workflows end-to-end.

You gain one connected team and the same levels of business support, and financial and people capability enjoyed by much larger businesses – but for a fraction of the cost.

By blending technology with our expertise and insights, we give you clarity, control, and the freedom to focus on what matters most – growing your business with confidence.

As your business grows, so does our service and support– with every function working together in one streamlined workflow to reduce costs, increase efficiencies, and unlock your business’s full potential.

One connected team. One clear way forward.

We replace fragmented finance, payroll and HR support with one integrated, outsourced team that runs your back-office functions from managing daily processes to reporting and business advisory. You get connected systems, proactive support and accurate information – all delivered through a single, scalable model.

With streamlined workflows, real-time visibility and a team that understands your goals and operations, decisions become easier, operations run smoother and your business performs better as you gain more time to focus on growth.

And because our entire team is based in Australia, your operations are supported by local specialists who understand your environment and can work alongside you as a true partner.

Flexible, scalable support that adapts to your business

You don’t need to outsource everything at once. With Lucent, you can start with the support you need today – whether that’s bookkeeping and accounting, payroll, HR administration, taxation or advisory – and expand your services as our relationship and your business grows.

Our model is designed to scale with you. You can add or dial back service lines as your needs change, while still benefiting from a connected, end-to-end workflow for that specific area.

A simple, structured way to outsource back office functions

Here’s how we make outsourcing simple, seamless and scalable.

First, we take the time to understand your business — how your people, processes and systems work today, and where the biggest opportunities lie. This gives us a clear picture of what to streamline and how best to support you.

Next, we connect and optimise your workflows. We set up cloud-based tools, automate manual tasks and build a smoother, more accurate back-office environment that frees up time and reduces friction.

Once everything is in place, we run your finance and people operations day to day. Your outsourced Lucent team handles bookkeeping, accounting, payroll and HR administration with accuracy, consistency and care.

We then guide your decision-making with real-time visibility and proactive advice. You get accurate reporting, meaningful insights and support that helps you stay compliant and make confident decisions as your business grows.

Finally, we scale with you. Your service model adapts as your needs change — adding or dialling back support without the complexity or cost of expanding your internal team.

Trusted expertise. Proven results. A partnership you can rely on.

Our clients speak for us

“With no dedicated HR resource, Lucent were engaged to set up Employment Hero software. Now 6 months on… we are building on the successful setup to improve HR management by ensuring Lucent’s knowledge and services benefit our HR management and employee engagement.”

Chris Collins, Burge Barossa

“Lucent Advisory has been so helpful with the stressful situation of migrating software for a large established business. Since implementing Employment Hero our department has saved hundreds of hours and we’ve also outsourced our payroll processing to Lucent Advisory too. It’s great to work with such a talented team who add great value as outsourced HR consultants to Konica.”

Yuri Matsui, Senior H.R. Manager at Konica Minolta Aus & NZ

“Since working with the team at Lucent we have achieved a better understanding of our business performance.”

Brigitte Lane, Adelaide Obstetrics & Fertility

“One of our biggest challenges is to keep abreast of all the awards and legislation when it comes to managing our staff. Lucent advisory not only offered competitive pricing but were very thorough and transparent. Engaging their services has definitely saved us time and improvement has been noted. Lucent advisory are efficient, professional and approachable.”

Ros Daniels, Mordangood Maintenance

“Since switching to Employment Hero our pay runs have become much easier with leave management, but we have gained so much more from the use that we didn’t expect. It’s easy to use for the end-user, our employees, so the uptake and use of it has been amazing – even for the technophobes!”

Prue Welsh, CRA Building Services

“A really great job to get the annual payroll tax reconciliations done so efficiently and with great understanding.”

Greg Hayes, Norbar Financial Accountant

“To my Lucent dream team, thank you so much for all of your help, support, guidance and hard work this year in supporting clarity; it has been a crazy year and a stressful time that has been made much easier knowing there is a kind, helpful and caring team behind it. I’m really grateful for all your hard work, thank you.”

Sarah Watson, Managing Director, Clarity Massage & Wellness

“Thank you for everything – there’s not a day that I am not so very grateful to have made the change to Lucent and have you supporting me. I really can see light at the end of the tunnel in the near future. Thank you sincerely.”

Katrina, Director, Pinky’s Fencing

“With a team that is available, approachable and professional, they now take care of my business bookkeeping, accounting and taxation needs. I find that Lucent advisory will work with their clients to achieve the results they need to make timely business decisions, even if it means that they customise your reporting needs to suit your style. I have referred several people to join as Lucent Advisory clients who are now grateful to finally find a financial team that cares. I recommend them for all accounting services no matter how big or small.”

Cara Miller, CEO, Sound Radiology
