Delivering strategic finance support to government

Financial management advisory services tailored to your needs.

Why Ample Advisory?

The name Ample Advisory was chosen with purpose. “Ample" refers to abundance—of expertise, care, and value—without excess. It reflects a commitment to give clients more than just a transactional service.

It’s about delivering a generous depth of knowledge, thoughtful advice, and high-quality outcomes, all without overcomplicating or overservicing.

In a public sector environment where trust, efficiency and value for money matter, Ample strikes the right balance. It promises enough—more than enough—of what’s needed to solve complex problems, guide confident decisions, and strengthen financial capability. Not through inflated effort, but through well-judged, experienced advisory services that are proportionate, precise, and impactful.

Ample means there’s room to think, to plan, and to partner meaningfully. It’s not just a name, it’s our principle.

What our clients say

We have earned trust and recognition from many clients and agencies by providing reliable, high-quality advisory services.

Our final IT Infrastructure Capital Plan was a key document provided to the IT Committee at the Department to assist with capital investment allocations. The Deputy CEO and CIO commended that it was a “much needed deliverable” for the agency.

Australian Government Department

Working closely with the agency's finance team, we helped deliver “a clean bill of health” for the agency's financial statements. "Cameron and his team were instrumental in helping the agency to remediate several ANAO audit findings raised during the interim audit but resolved by the time the statements received material clearance."

Chief Financial Officer (SES Band 1)

Australian Government Agency

Cameron delivered an impairment assessment of our agency’s intangible assets following a complex Machinery of Government merger. His work included a thorough evaluation of a delayed software development project and demonstrated deep technical insight, clear reasoning, and a pragmatic approach. The final report was reviewed and accepted by the ANAO. Cameron’s expertise gave us confidence at every stage of the process, and I would strongly recommend him to any agency.

Chief Finance Officer

Corporate Commonwealth Entity

Your Tender Pricing Evaluation Report was well received by our Tender Evaluation Committee and has been instrumental in the selection of a preferred tenderer. The way you visualised comparisons between tenderers made it easy to interpret the relative strengths of each proposal. Thanks for your assistance on this.

Chief Finance Officer

Australian Government Agency

Cameron developed a Strategic Asset Management Plan to prioritise key asset renewals and identify major decision points to highlight when major investment is required to replace end of life assets over the next decade.

This model was accompanied by several funding options to seek business case funding for capital budget required to ensure the asset portfolio can be maintained at an acceptable level.

Cameron presented the SAMP report and key findings to a number of key stakeholders, including the Chief Operating Officer and Capital Projects Executives.
