Who we work with

Three ways we work with you

Most clients start with one pillar. Each is led by the same senior adviser, so nothing gets lost between the plan and the delivery.

Where are we going?

Direction

Strategy grounded in the numbers, and a board that can see them clearly.

  • Financial modelling
  • Board packs
  • KPI frameworks
  • Pricing & margin
  • Scenario planning
Discuss Direction →
How do we get there?

Execution

A finance function that closes on time, reports accurately and scales with the business.

  • Fractional CFO
  • Month-end close
  • Controls & audit
  • Systems & automation
  • Management accounts
Discuss Execution →
What will it take?

Capital

Investment and funding decisions backed by clear analysis, from a new hire to a new market.

  • Business cases
  • Investment appraisal
  • Bank & funding packs
  • Valuation
  • Acquisitions

Typical engagements

What working together looks like

Each engagement has a fixed scope and named deliverables. These are the three we're asked for most.

Outgrowing its reporting

Management reporting reset

Replace a spreadsheet pack with monthly management accounts the owners and board can act on in ten minutes.

  • KPI framework tied to the strategy
  • Monthly management pack and close timetable
  • Commentary on what changed and why
Planning the next stage

Budget and growth plan

Turn the owners' ambitions into a budget, a rolling forecast and a plan the team can track against.

  • Three-year plan and annual budget
  • Rolling forecast with scenarios
  • Monthly budget-versus-actual review
Busy but under-earning

Profitability analysis

Find out which customers, products and services make money, and which ones cost it.

  • Margin analysis by customer, product and service
  • Pricing and cost review
  • Action plan with measurable targets
Buy and build

Grow by acquisition, then exit at a higher value

Buying smaller businesses and combining them into one stronger group is one of the most reliable ways to increase what a business is worth. We help you plan the roll-up, find and buy the right targets, integrate them properly and build the EBITDA a buyer will pay for.

  • Acquisition strategyWhere to buy, what to pay and how to fund it.
  • Target search and due diligenceFinancial review of each target before you commit.
  • IntegrationOne reporting system, one set of controls, savings delivered.
  • Exit preparationA clean, scaled business with the numbers to back the price.
