Director & Business Advisor
Daniel Lalic
Business Advisor & Chartered Accountant
Daniel helps Adelaide business owners get out of the day-to-day grind and back in control of their numbers, their pricing, and their time. If cash flow is tight even when sales are strong, this is the conversation to have.
He'll handle the numbers, You handle the business
Daniel brings 15+ years of experience to Your Success Lab, with a background in professional sport as a development player for the Adelaide 36ers, before becoming a Chartered Accountant and moving into business advisory.
Business advice for Trades, Civil & Professional Services businesses
Industries and niches served
Daniel works with businesses at every stage, from a first-time owner hiring their first employee and getting the basics right (marketing, payments, systems) through to established businesses that need to figure out how many more staff, services, or products they need to keep growing.
Civil Services
For civil businesses, that means making sure the numbers are right where it counts, checking import costs against invoices, keeping profit margins accurate, and mitigating risk across the business.
Trades
For trades businesses, Daniel’s experience is that most are excellent at the actual work, but not necessarily at running the business behind it. He builds in as much automation as possible to take the weight off the financial and reporting side, while making sure pricing, job costing, and overhead rates are accurate.
Professional Services
For professional services businesses, Daniel’s experience is that they’re often excellent at giving advice, but less consistent at following their own. He brings a different perspective, challenging the way they think about their own numbers and decisions rather than just processing them.
Business Coaching & Advisory Services
Business coaching and advisory services
Daniel doesn’t just do the numbers, he helps owners understand them. His goal is to build financial literacy into the business itself, so decisions get made with real information, not guesswork.
Strategic planning and implementation
It’s not enough to have a plan on paper. Daniel works with owners to actually implement it, tracking progress and adjusting as the business grows or the market shifts.
Systems that de-risk your business
Daniel has built a reputation for introducing systems that reduce keyperson risk, so the business doesn’t grind to a halt if one person is unavailable, including the owner.
Tax accounting and compliance
Tax and compliance are handled, accurately and on time, but for Daniel it’s the baseline, not the main event. It’s the part he takes off your plate so the conversation can move to the things that actually grow the business.
Outside the office
When not at work, Daniel enjoys good wine, keeping fit and working on home renovation projects.

Daniel and the team at Your Success Lab have been sensational since day one. They have helped with every aspect of running Hayes services including the initial business registration, account keeping, business advise and taxation queries and lodgements. Daniel is always on hand to take calls or messages when I have questions in regards to the business. I can't thank them enough for the continued support and look forward to having them behind Hayes Services as we continue to move forward.
