Advice that ends in a decision

Operational reviews, process improvement and growth planning — delivered as recommendations somebody can act on, not a slide deck.

Advice that ends in a decision

Consulting has a reputation for producing documents rather than change. The analysis is sound, the recommendations are reasonable, and nothing is different a year later.

The difference is usually whether anybody owned the change. We finish with a short list of things to do, each with a named owner, a date and a way to tell whether it worked — and we stay involved through the first ones if that is useful.

Who this is for

If one of these sounds like your situation, it is worth a conversation.

Growth without profit

Revenue rising and margin falling, and no agreement on where it is going.

A bottleneck everyone knows about

Named in every meeting and never owned by anyone.

A decision needing a second view

Expansion, a new line, an acquisition — where being wrong is expensive.

How we work

Boring, in the way you want your accountant to be boring.

Deadlines tracked, not remembered

Every filing date for your entity is in a calendar we own. You get reminded well before it matters.

Books closed monthly

Reconciled within ten working days, so the numbers you make decisions on are this month's rather than last quarter's.

A named person who answers

Not a ticket queue. You should know who does your work and be able to ring them.

Plain answers on tax

What is allowed, what is aggressive, and where the line is. We will not put you somewhere we would not stand ourselves.

  • Your records handed over in full and without argument if you leave
How we take over

How we take over

Moving adviser is the part people dread. It takes about a month.

Review

We look at the current position, filings, and anything outstanding. You get a written summary of what we found, including bad news.

Transition

Records, access and authorisations moved across, with your previous adviser handled professionally. Nothing lapses in between.

First close

The first monthly close under our process, and the first set of accounts you can actually use to make a decision.

Steady state

Monthly management accounts, filings ahead of deadline, and a quarterly conversation about what the numbers are telling you.

Common questions

We finish with a short list of things to do, each with a named owner, a date and a way to tell whether it worked — and we stay involved through the first ones if that helps.

Three to six weeks for a review and recommendations. Implementation support is separate and sized to what you actually want help with.

Yes, and that is where most of the value comes from. How a business really runs is rarely what the process document says.
