A Guiding Light on Finance
You know your business. What's harder is seeing the whole picture: the small things that slip, and the trends that build over months.
I set up systems that keep the day-to-day running, and track the numbers that show where you're heading. Someone on your side, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Sound familiar?
Your bookkeeping is behind, and you're not sure what's what any more.
Money is coming in, but you can't tell if you're actually making any.
You've grown, and the spreadsheet that used to work doesn't.
You're fed up of that time-sink of updating multiple spreadsheets and not knowing which one is accurate.
End of Year submissions are a panic and a stress.
You need to raise your prices, or take on a big job, and want to check the numbers first.
Cash is tight and you want help.
Your board or trustees ask money questions and you'd like better answers.
You just want someone to look after it, so you can get on with your work.
If any of these is you, you're in the right place. You don't need to have it worked out before we talk.
Financial foundations
A one-off project to get your finances set up properly and running well. If you're starting from scratch, or your setup has never quite been right, this is the clean base everything else builds on. Most people start here.
The strategy
I help you understand what your numbers are telling you, so you can decide where to take the business. Sometimes the right move is obvious. Often it isn't — either way, I help you weigh up the pros and cons so you can make an informed choice. Your business, your call.
The operations
I keep the finance side running properly in the background — the day-to-day that has to be right for any of the strategy to mean anything. You don't have to think about it. I'll sort it.
Who I work with
Values-led
Values-led businesses, growing founders, charities and CICs — people past the early chaos, who care about doing things well and want a real relationship with the person looking after their finances.
Less money-dread
If money feels loaded and you'd like it to feel a good deal less so, we'll get on. No mystery, no jargon, no dread.
The approach
From tangle to pattern.
Warm
Warm, plain-spoken, illuminating — finance that won't talk down to you.
Trusted
A finance director in your corner, on your side.
Clear
See where you make money, where you lose it, and where to put your energy.
