Most firms between £2m and £30m in revenue hit the same wall: the structure that got them here is now the thing slowing them down. We find the drag and fix it.
Based in Clerkenwell, working across the UK. Typical engagement: 8 to 14 weeks.
Our process
We pull apart your P&L, your org chart, and your last 12 months of management accounts. The goal is to see where cash, time, and attention actually go, not where you think they go. We interview your finance lead and at least two department heads during this stage.
Which customers generate margin, and which ones just generate activity? We segment your client base by profitability, not revenue. This step often reveals that 15 to 20 percent of accounts consume more in support costs than they return.
Reporting lines, meeting cadences, approval chains. We map every recurring meeting in your calendar and calculate the salary cost per hour of each one. Redundant sign-off loops are the single most common source of wasted capacity in firms your size.
You receive a written report, typically 18 to 25 pages, with a ranked list of changes. Each item includes estimated effort, expected financial impact over 12 months, and the internal owner we recommend assigning to it. No fluff, no appendix padding.
What we do
We rebuild your pricing model from unit economics up. Most clients discover they have been under-pricing their highest-value services by 20 to 35 percent because the original rate card was set years ago and never stress-tested.
Reporting lines, approval flows, handoff points between teams. We redesign how work moves through your organisation so that decisions happen closer to the customer and further from the boardroom.
Not the aspirational kind. We build 12-month plans with monthly revenue targets, hiring triggers, and capital requirements. Each milestone has a specific go/no-go criterion so you know when to accelerate and when to pause.
If your monthly board pack takes more than two hours to produce, the system is wrong. We design dashboards and reporting rhythms that give you weekly visibility into cash, pipeline, and delivery without a spreadsheet marathon.
Thinking about selling in the next two to four years? We prepare the business for due diligence: clean financials, documented processes, reduced founder dependency. Buyers pay more for companies that run without their owners in the room.
When a key hire leaves or a new role needs filling, we place a senior advisor inside your team for three to six months. They carry the brief, attend the meetings, and hand over a working playbook to the permanent hire.
Outcomes
These figures come from completed engagements between April 2022 and March 2025. Every number is verified against client management accounts.
