Management Consultancy
The advisory work that sits behind the numbers — what a business costs to run, where it leaks, and how it should be organised to grow.
This is the advisory work that sits behind the numbers rather than reporting on them. We review how a business actually runs — what it costs, where margin leaks, how much working capital is tied up — and rebuild the parts that do not hold: internal controls and SOPs, MIS and management dashboards, budgeting and forecasting, inventory and receivables discipline. For businesses that need finance leadership without a full-time hire we take on virtual CFO engagements, and we support ERP selection and implementation where the systems themselves are the constraint.
Owner-managed businesses that have outgrown the systems they started with make up most of this practice — the point at which the promoter can no longer hold the numbers in their head and the reporting is not yet good enough to replace that. We are also engaged by companies preparing for external funding or a generational handover, where controls and MIS have to be defensible to someone outside the family. Engagements run from a single review to a standing virtual CFO arrangement.
