Welcome to our
High-Performance financial
powerhouse built to support SMEs

The world "Elevate" was chosen intentionally. Because that's exactly what we do every day

Formation-Our Story

Before we begin, We’d like to share a little story behind the name Elevate SMEs because it truly reflects why this company was formed and what we stand for.

The name β€œElevate” was chosen with purpose. It speaks directly to what we exist to do: work alongside SME business owners and help take their businesses to the next level stronger performance, clearer direction, and real, measurable growth.

For the founder of Elevate SMEs Peter Alwis, this mission isn’t theory it’s lived experience. Over the past two decades, Peter Alwis has supported and guided multiple businesses in Australia, Asia and Africa through transformation and growth helping leaders make better decisions, strengthen financial outcomes, and build sustainable success.

In his last full-time role as the Head of Finance and Commercial at Adreno, Peter worked closely with directors, Senior managers, external national and international agencies and serving as a trusted right

hand to the Managing Director, playing a key role in scaling the business into the world’s largest spearfishing and diving equipment retailer. That success became the blueprint. That success became a turning point.

After seeing what structured financial leadership, commercial strategy, and strong decision-making could achieve, Peter was encouraged Β by one of the directors from that same organisation Β to take that expertise beyond one business and make it available to many.

And that’s exactly how Elevate SMEs began: Founded in 2017, Elevate SMEs was created to deliver real Business Process Outsourcing the way it was always meant to be done. We hope you’ll not only understand our name but also feel the purpose behind it .Because we’re here to elevate. And we’re here for SMEs.

Our ongoing support toΒ  help break the devastating cycle of homelessness One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference

Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way. This year I'm taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians in need. For one night, I'll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness.
