Where corporate finance meets ESG
Lever Impact is an Australian advisory and capital firm built at the intersection of corporate finance and sustainability — turning sustainability from a compliance obligation into a driver of enterprise value.
Lever Impact is an Australian advisory and capital firm built at the intersection of corporate finance and sustainability. We help boards, CFOs, companies and wholesale investors integrate ESG and climate considerations into capital allocation, investment decisions, funding strategy and long-term performance — turning sustainability from a compliance obligation into a driver of enterprise value.
The gap most advisers leave open
Most advisers sit on one side of a line. Sustainability specialists understand climate and ESG but lack financial depth. Corporate finance advisers understand capital but treat sustainability as someone else's problem. The result, for most organisations, is two disconnected workstreams and a reporting exercise that never reaches the decisions that matter.
Lever Impact was built to close that gap. We bring corporate finance capability, ESG expertise and chartered accounting rigour into the same team — so sustainability and capital are addressed as one strategy, assessed through the same framework your board, your auditor and your investors already use.
What we do
Advisory
Delivered by Lever Impact Pty Ltd, our chartered accounting and advisory practice. This covers ESG transformation, AASB S2 sustainability reporting, GHG accounting, climate scenario analysis, energy transition planning, deal advisory and on-demand CFO services.
Capital
Delivered by Lever Impact Capital Pty Ltd, our AFSL-authorised financial-services arm. This covers capital advisory, sustainable finance and investment solutions and portfolio value creation for wholesale clients and sophisticated investors. Financial services are provided to wholesale clients only.
Many of our clients engage both — because the strongest outcomes come from connecting the reporting, the strategy and the capital.
We work with decision-makers on both sides of the capital relationship
- Boards, audit committees and directors navigating mandatory climate disclosure
- CFOs and finance teams integrating ESG into reporting, performance and capital strategy
- Heavy emitters managing NGER, Safeguard Mechanism and AASB S2 obligations
- Companies and sponsors raising or restructuring capital
- Private equity firms, family offices and institutional investors deploying capital with rigour and sustainability conviction
Clarity
We cut through regulatory and capital-markets complexity to give clear, actionable direction. Whether the challenge is mandatory climate reporting or a capital raise, our role is to make the path forward obvious.
Rigour
Finance-grade discipline underpins everything we measure and advise. Our work is auditable, assurance-ready and built to withstand the examination of a board, an auditor or an investment committee.
Integration
We connect capital and sustainability so they work as one strategy, not two workstreams. This intersection — corporate finance and ESG, in the same team — is where we turn sustainability obligations into enterprise value.
Impact
We measure ourselves by the value created and the quality of the decisions we enable — not by the report delivered. Success is a better-funded, more resilient, more valuable organisation.
