Where are you on your journey?
Busy Professional
These are individual based businesses providing professional services who might be in the early stages of their journey with a desire to grow the business or maintain an established business trading at a level that meets their needs. Where needed they tend to collaborate with others on larger projects and they may have a clear business plan mapped out. We provide reassurance that they are doing things right and that the business finances are accurate to support them.

Growth
Businesses like this have grown to a point where they are starting to move from being an individual based business to a growing micro business. The many hats their business owners wear are just getting too uncomfortable and they are looking to build a team of employees or collaborators around them to help guide the business through the winding paths ahead. We make sure that while they are concentrating on building their business they can be relaxed in the knowledge that their business finances are under control.
Scaling Up
These businesses have a bigger and more established structure. They have a team of employees who are committed to the success of the business. They will already have an in house book-keeper but need more regular finance reporting and guidance but aren’t quite ready for a full-time Finance Professional
They want to overcome any plateaus and continue their climb to the summit of their ambitious plans with confidence.
