Professional services firm · UK and Ireland
- Leadership was assembling performance reporting by hand and could not see the business clearly.
- Defined the measures that matter and built management reporting that ties back to the source systems.
Clear decisions on finance, data and technology.
We help established businesses understand what is really happening in their numbers and systems, then change it in steps that prove themselves. Strategy, with the delivery to back it.
Part of Stratavor. Our software is optional: consulting clients work in their own systems.
Where we help
Most of our work sits where finance, data and technology meet.
Finance and performance reporting
Management and board information that leadership trusts, and nobody has to rebuild every month.
Data and technology strategy
Clear choices on systems, architecture and roadmap, including whether to extend what you have or replace it.
Fractional technology leadership
Senior ownership of technology decisions and suppliers, without a full-time hire.
Operational efficiency
Taking manual work and fragile spreadsheets out of the processes the business depends on.
Systems and integration
Getting finance, operations and customer systems working as one.
We also cover the supporting work (IT, security, data protection and governance) wherever an engagement needs it. If your question sits between finance, data and technology, it is probably ours.
Selected work
Client details stay confidential. These examples show the shape of the work, not its limits.

How we deliver
Every engagement is led by our principal, who stays accountable for scope, quality and communication from start to finish. We bring in specialists where the work needs particular depth, and match the team to the work rather than the work to the team.
Confidentiality is standard. We work inside your environment with access agreed in advance, and everything we build is documented and handed over to you. No lock-in.
