It starts with the right figures, reported clearly. I help leaders, boards and trustees understand where the money really is, where it’s going and what that means for their decisions, then fix what sits behind the numbers.
The problems I’m usually called in for.
Take one piece or all of it. Every engagement starts with a free consultation.
The right figures, produced regularly and accurately, in a format leaders, boards and trustees can actually read.
Plain-English explanation of what the numbers mean: where money is being made or lost, what is at risk and what needs a decision.
Realistic budgets and a cash-flow forecast you can plan around, so there are fewer surprises.
Processes, roles, controls and bookkeeping set up properly, so the reporting is right at source.
Getting paid on time, and recovering what’s owed, drawing on ten years in commercial debt recovery.
Reviewing supplier contracts, bringing costs back under control, and setting up fundraising and grant applications.
I work alongside your accountant and auditors rather than replacing them. Tax and statutory accounts stay with them.
Independent and faith schools
Schools facing Ofsted and registration inspections, building work, staffing changes and contracts that had never been properly reviewed.
I’ve taken schools through registration and Ofsted inspections, managed extensions and renovations, restructured staff teams, rebuilt finance and fundraising, and renegotiated supplier contracts.
UK and international companies and credit insurers
Large sums owed, disputes going nowhere and several parties with a stake in the outcome, often under real time pressure.
For ten years I negotiated with directors, finance teams, lawyers and insurers to recover commercial and international debts and settle disputes, then helped businesses put the credit control and reporting in place to stop it happening again.
Book a free consultation. We’ll sit down, look at where things stand and talk through where I can make a real difference. No obligation and no sales pitch. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you.
