Hospitality & Tourism
When the process needs to keep up with the property
Social Grounds Hospitality Group was managing a newly opened boutique hotel on Rottnest Island with a lean team, multiple new systems and a complex month end process. The back-office hadn't kept pace with the operation.
Metric came in to fix the process, build the governance and level up the reporting - then stayed on to support the team through its first full operating year and FY27 budget.

The finance function that keeps a listed company moving
Before engaging Metric, EMH needed a steady finance function they could rely on as they progressed development milestones. Metric stepped in as financial controller - owning the numbers inside a lean listed company.
That hands-on ASX experience is what Metric brings to every listed client today.

From strong business to sharper numbers

Clean books, clean numbers, more time
South Beach Aperitivo built WA's first Aperitivo brand in five years. But the systems hadn't kept up — month-end was manual, reporting didn't reflect how the business actually sold, and excise tax was a time-consuming headache every month.
Metric came in, systemised the back-office and built reporting that gave the founders a real view of performance — so they could spend less time in spreadsheets and more time growing the brand.
