About David Tong

I’ve spent my career straddling two worlds: the craft of doing the work and the discipline of running the business. Most small business owners are experts at the first, and struggle with the second. That’s where I come in. Through Gettago.io, I help business owners cut through the confusion of financial operations. I focus on the essentials: invoicing, profit & loss, balance sheets, and cash flow. I translate those numbers into plain language and practical tools so you can make better decisions, stay profitable, and keep the doors open for the long haul. I move comfortably between physical and digital worlds, carrying lessons from industries like oilfield tooling, manufacturing, and trades into areas as different as food, creative services, and public art. The problems are often the same - you just need someone who can show you the systems that work. I’m direct, no-bullshit, and sometimes blunt, but always with the goal of making sure you don’t have to figure it out alone. Outside of work, I’m a world traveler, a serious amateur chef, and a photographer who’s obsessed with finding unique angles and lighting. Those passions keep me curious, detail-oriented, and open-minded, qualities I bring to every client I work with. How I help small businesses: • Set up and streamline invoicing systems • Organize books for clarity and compliance • Teach profit & loss, balance sheets, and cash flow in plain English • Build simple, repeatable financial processes • Spot operational inefficiencies and tighten up systems • Provide ongoing guidance so you’re never left guessing If you’re great at your craft but know the business side isn’t your strength, let’s talk.
