About the firm

Two people, by design.

A CFO with thirty-five years in the room where the decisions get made, building beside AI-native talent from Yale. That pairing is not something the Australian mid-market can hire any other way.

Co-founder / Clients and finance

Wayne Banks

35 years in the C-suite and the boardroom. Sydney.

Wayne has been the most senior finance and operations executive in some of Australia's largest and most complex organisations. He knows what boards need, he knows what CFOs are wrestling with, and he knows exactly where AI creates real value and where it creates real risk.

He is the deliberate bridge in the practice. Wayne has lived in the boardroom and crossed into the AI world, and he is the one advisor who can credibly lead a business through current state, transition, and what comes next.

Track record

  • Executive roles at SAP, Workday and DXC Technology
  • COO at UXC, an ASX-listed business
  • Founded and sold Ignite Alliance
  • AICD Graduate
  • Fellow, Governance Institute of Australia
  • Reads financial reality and board dynamics faster than any technology advisor
Co-founder / Build and delivery

Lawson Banks

Yale University, Class of 2029. Men's Heavyweight Crew.

Lawson leads the build. He runs the AI discovery for every new client, maps the workflows into an Opportunity Map, and leads every Sprint from planning through to handover. He owns the AI tooling stack, the prompt libraries, and the Sprint Playbook the practice runs on.

He recruits the Activation Squad directly from the Yale student community, AI-native talent that is not available to hire in the Australian market at any price. Every member is personally vetted by Lawson and approved by Wayne before joining a client.

Sydney, Australia

Built where the decisions get made. Delivered wherever you are.

Why it is rare

Finance, operations, governance and AI. One firm.

Most fractional CFOs are accountants. Wayne is a CFO who speaks finance and operations, when most CFOs cannot sell and most technologists cannot read a P&L. CFO depth and AI fluency in one engagement is genuinely new. These are not separate services bolted together. They are people who have lived the whole picture and know exactly how it connects.

Most advisors help you understand your business. Full Measure helps you change how it runs.
