Experienced operators. Direct accountability.
Neven & Co is owner-led and set up for situations where commercial judgment, financial discipline, and ownership decisions cannot be separated.
Chris
Chris has more than twenty years of experience across strategy, investment governance, and business transformation. He focuses on how a business actually works, what must be true for an idea to hold up, and where value leaks when the structure is weak.
He has worked in organisations responsible for more than $30 billion in assets and has spent enough time around major decisions to distinguish a credible commercial move from a polished story. Chris holds an MBA, Bachelor of Commerce, and Fellowship status with both the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment and the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance.
Leigh
Leigh brings senior finance and CFO experience across major ASX-listed businesses, and deep exposure to complex, high-stakes operations. She focuses on whether the numbers are reliable, the economics can carry the next stage, and management information is good enough to support decisions.
A Chartered Accountant with experience across complex businesses, Leigh has a grounded view of what strong finance should do: sharpen decision-making, improve accountability, and give the business a firm base for growth.
Operating together
We bring strategic judgment and financial discipline to the same decision. Chris focuses on whether the proposition is real and the foundations are sound. Leigh focuses on whether the numbers support it and the business can carry it. That combination is deliberate.
Why we started Neven & Co
We started Neven & Co to operate on our own terms: directly, with full accountability and without institutional politics. Our name is on the door because we stand behind the decisions.
How we operate
We keep the core team small and bring in specialist expertise only when it improves the outcome. That may include legal, tax, actuarial, or industry capability. You get the people you need, brought together for the job, without paying for a bloated hierarchy.
Based in Brisbane, we work across Australia and New Zealand.
If you want to work with people who stand behind the decision, we should talk.
