We work with owner-managed companies turning over £2m–£40m. Most engagements last eight to twelve weeks. You get a plan, a financial model, and someone to argue with about both.
Book a diagnostic call
No mystery, no drawn-out discovery phase that costs you three months of fees before anything changes.
We spend two days on-site. We interview your leadership team, pull your last three years of management accounts, and map your top-ten cost lines. By Friday you have a written diagnostic memo identifying the two or three issues with the biggest financial impact.
We build a financial model of your business as it stands today, then layer in the proposed changes. Every assumption gets challenged in a working session with your finance lead. If the numbers don't hold up, we adjust the plan before you spend a penny implementing it.
Your team does the work. We provide weekly check-ins, draft the SOPs, coach the managers who need to change behaviour, and keep the project board honest. We don't parachute in with a slide deck and vanish.
We compare actual results to the model, document what worked and what didn't, and hand you a 90-day forward plan your team can run without us. A follow-up call at the 90-day mark is included in every engagement fee.
Five practice areas. Each one has a defined scope, a fixed-fee option, and a clear deliverable at the end.
Most mid-market firms leave 15–30% of gross margin on the table because they price by gut feel or match competitors without knowing their own cost structure. We rebuild your pricing from unit economics up, segment your customers by profitability, and give you a rate card your sales team can actually use. Typical engagement: four weeks, fixed fee.
When your headcount grows faster than your revenue, something is broken. We map workflows, identify bottlenecks, and redesign team structures so you can handle more volume without hiring. One recent client cut fulfilment labour costs by 18% in nine weeks.
Should you expand into a new region, launch a second product line, or acquire a competitor? We model each option against your balance sheet and management capacity. You get a ranked shortlist with go/no-go criteria, not a vague vision statement.
Profitable on paper, broke in practice. We build 13-week rolling cash forecasts, negotiate better payment terms with your top suppliers, and set up early-warning triggers so you never get surprised by a shortfall again.
Your MD is brilliant at the product but struggles with the people side. Our coaching programme runs for 12 sessions over six months, focused on delegation, difficult conversations, and building a senior team that can run the business without the founder in every meeting.
Tell us what's going on in your business. A short paragraph is enough. We'll reply within one working day with an honest assessment of whether we can help, and if so, what the diagnostic would look like.
