Clear help, clear prices.
Start with a review to see where you stand. Then pick the support that fits. Plain numbers, no jargon, nothing to tie you in.
The business diagnostic
It starts as a conversation, around two hours, not a forensic audit. We use fifteen years in these businesses to work out where profit is leaking, where cash is getting stuck, and what to fix first. Pricing, margins, your best and worst customers, cash and growth. It will not catch every detail, but you leave knowing the key issues and what to do about them.
- A key challenges sheet. The issues it flags, in plain terms.
- A proposed route forward. What to tackle first, and in what order.
- A follow up meeting. We go through the findings together, so you understand them and can ask anything.
A price agreed up front, no hourly clock. It’s included when you start monthly support, which is honestly where we’d rather begin. You can take it as a standalone one off too. Not sure yet? Happy to have a quick chat first, to check we’re a fit.

Someone in the business with you, every month.
Not a report that lands after the month has gone. Someone who knows your numbers, tells you straight, and stays involved until the things you agreed have actually happened. We are not here for one off reviews. Real change takes time, so we work on a minimum of three months, long enough to show you what we can do.
For owners who need to see their numbers and steady the ship.
- Two hours a month, ending in an action plan we then help you deliver
- Available for a call each week, when you need a hand or want to bounce something off someone
- What you actually make, and where the cash is heading
- Your five key numbers every month, in plain English
- We chase the actions, not just the numbers
- The business diagnostic to start, included
- Two FDs in the early weeks, to get to grips with the business fast
- Two perspectives on the decisions that matter, and you never rely on one person
Everything in Take Control, and we take on the numbers themselves.
- Everything in Take Control
- We do the bookkeeping and the management accounts

Monthly rolling, minimum three months. Onsite visits and any separate project work are priced up front.
Bad data leads to bad decisions, so this gets sorted first. We clean up what is there, sort the systems and set out what the numbers need to show. From there you either keep it in house, we hand it to an outsourced provider we manage, or we take it on ourselves under Grow with Control. Whichever is most cost effective for you. Priced to the work and agreed up front, no hourly clock.
Want the full detail? We build a proper analysis of which jobs, customers and products actually make you money, once every real cost and overhead is fairly split in. This is where the monthly view goes deep. A one off piece of work, scoped after the diagnostic. What it costs depends on the data, how many products you carry and how the overheads need splitting, so it is agreed up front, no hourly clock.
Two of us get stuck in at the start, through the diagnostic and the early weeks, so we get to grips with your business fast. After that, one FD runs the day to day, and the second is on the bench for the decisions that matter, a major investment, a funding round, a possible sale, and for cover. You are never relying on one person, and you are always covered, through holidays, illness and busy weeks.
A second FD is always on the bench for the big calls and for cover, and that is included. If you would rather have both of us in the room for every session, not only the big decisions, we can put both on your plan. Two perspectives on everything, all the time, priced and agreed up front.
