Most consulting reports end up in a drawer. Ours don't, because we stay until the changes stick. We work with owner-managed businesses across Northern Ireland and the wider UK, fixing the operational problems that eat profit quietly.
If your revenue is growing but your margins aren't, or your team keeps solving the same problems month after month, we should talk.

Our process
We don't spend six months writing a strategy document. Here's how a typical engagement unfolds, start to finish.
We interview your leadership team, review your P&L by product line, and map the decisions that get made (and the ones that don't). This takes five working days.
We trace margin leakage, bottlenecks, and duplicated effort back to their sources. Often it's a pricing structure set years ago, or a reporting gap nobody noticed.
A half-day session with your senior team. We present findings, debate priorities, and agree on three to five changes ranked by impact and feasibility.
We stay involved for 90 days after the workshop: weekly check-ins, adjusted KPIs, and hands-on help when your team hits friction rolling things out.
What we do
Each engagement is scoped around one or two of these areas. We don't sell a menu; we solve the problem that matters most right now.
We audit every product or service line, identify where discounting habits and legacy pricing quietly erode profit, and rebuild your pricing framework. Typical margin improvement in the first year: 4 to 9 percentage points.
Owner-managed firms hit a ceiling when everything still runs through one person. We design reporting structures, delegate decision rights, and prepare your second tier to lead, whether you plan to step back or simply want weekends off.
Expansion into new markets, new customer segments, or new geographies. We build the financial model, test assumptions with real data, and create a phased rollout plan so you can grow without breaking what already works.
We map your workflows end to end, identify handoff delays and duplicated tasks, and redesign processes. One manufacturing client cut order-to-dispatch time from 11 days to 4 after a single engagement.
Profitable businesses still fail when cash runs out. We restructure payment terms, tighten debtor management, and model rolling 13-week cash forecasts so you always know what's coming.
If your monthly board pack takes two weeks to prepare and nobody reads it, something is wrong. We design dashboards your team will actually use, with five to eight metrics that drive the decisions you need to make.
Results from recent engagements
We track outcomes 12 months after each engagement closes. Here are three figures from the past two years.

Average time from first call to measurable financial impact across all engagements completed since 2024
Common questions
The diagnostic phase is a fixed fee of £3,500. Implementation support is priced monthly, typically between £2,000 and £5,000 depending on scope. We agree the number before we start, and it doesn't change unless you ask us to do more.
Yes. About a third of our clients are based elsewhere in the UK. The diagnostic week is done on-site wherever you are; subsequent check-ins happen by video unless you prefer in-person meetings.
Most of our clients have between 15 and 200 employees and turnover of £2m to £30m. Below that range, the diagnostic cost is hard to justify. Above it, you probably already have an internal strategy team.
Happily. After an initial conversation we can connect you with two or three former clients in similar industries. We ask their permission first, so allow a couple of days.
Good. That means the workshop is working. Our job is to give you a clear, evidence-backed view. Yours is to weigh it against context we might not see. We revise priorities together until the plan is something you'll actually follow through on.
A fractional hire fills an ongoing role. We solve a specific problem and leave. Sometimes the right recommendation is to hire a fractional CFO, and we'll tell you that. We're not trying to create a permanent dependency.
