THE COEFFICIENTLY DIFFERENCE
Why choose CoEfficiently?
Senior finance experience
1
Sharyn is a chartered accountant and tax lawyer with nearly 30 years’ experience across Australia and Hong Kong, having held senior roles at top-tier accounting and law firms and served as a non-executive director across multiple sectors.
A deliberately small client list
2
CoEfficiently works with a genuinely limited number of long-term clients at any time. That's a structural choice, not a marketing line: it means real strategic attention and responsiveness, instead of being one of many accounts.
CoEfficiently can work with your network of specialists
3
CoEfficiently works alongside a network of accounting, tax, legal and investment specialists, so your CFO advice is always backed by the right expert when specialist advice is needed.
CFO services first, compliance handled by a specialist
4
CoEfficiently’s focus is strategic CFO advisory, helping businesses strengthen financial systems, improve reporting, manage cash flow and make informed decisions. Sharyn works directly with founders and leadership teams to deliver these services, rather than delegating to junior staff or contractors. Where accounting, tax or legal expertise is required, she can coordinate support as needed.
Together, this means growing businesses get strategic financial leadership at the level they actually need, giving them the right information, right now, without the full-time cost.

Founder, Kindred Agency
Before using Co-Efficiently, I didn’t have a clear view of each client’s profitability or full confidence in our numbers. Sharyn built our client and team profitability reports, set up new systems using AI, and helped us use Syft and Xero properly. Now I trust my numbers and we spend far fewer hours chasing information.
