Michael Hesp

Business Success Partner, Queenstown & Central Otago

Michael is an owner and director of Compass South Limited and is based in Central Otago.

He has many years of experience in finance and other senior management roles across a wide range of industries in both the private and public sectors. He also has significant consulting experience across both sectors and is a qualified chartered accountant.

Having reviewed a number of options for small business advisory systems, Michael settled on the Business Success Programme (BSP). Michael believes the marriage of the BSP methodologies and his skills and experience to be a winning combination. He is passionate about working with owners of small and medium sized businesses to reach their full potential, to improve their business profitability and value, and quality of life. “I challenge business owners, and I am uncompromising in working with them in the pursuit of success”.

Over the last decade, Michael has added considerable value to a wide range of businesses in the wider Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago areas. He has a proven track record of ‘taking care of business’.

Michael and his wife Susan have recently built a new home on some land outside Alexandra and are enjoying being "hands on" developing the site. They have two grown up daughters and love spending time with their three grandchildren. They enjoy the lifestyle that Central Otago has to offer including the wide variety of golfing, skiing and hiking options.

We first started working with Compass South in July 2014. Our business was growing rapidly and we did not feel that we were in control. Our Compass South advisor worked with us to develop strategic and business plans so that our personal and business goals were understood and aligned with each other. He also worked with us to develop and implement systems and reporting to improve administration efficiency and staff productivity. Since we started working together, our business has more than doubled. Having someone independent with Michael’s skills and experience sitting around our board table is proving invaluable.

Michael from Compass South helped me to take my business from the “make it up as I go along” model for the first six years to the smooth operation it is today. He had endless ideas for improvement which have been instrumental in our profits doubling in the six months since seeking him out. It’s incredibly useful to have someone who really knows business looking over my shoulder. Thanks!
