We specialise in working with owners and management teams of established businesses to give them the comprehensive and consistent guidance, insights and action plans they need to achieve their growth ambitions.
For a business that has been trading for a while and is now looking to move to the next stage of growth, accessing the typical business planning information supplied by government sources or financial institutions isn’t sufficient. What’s required is a more focused and in-depth service that can address the specific situation of the business.
Beware: piecemeal advice hinders progress
It’s common for a business owner to be getting advice from various consultants across areas such as marketing, human resources, and IT, as well getting occasional financial tips from their accountant, possibly input from a business coach or ideas from being a member of a business network or executive group.
That sort of infrequent and uncoordinated advice can be frustrating for the business owner to try and pull together, and difficult to follow when it comes to actually implementing improvement initiatives and achieving growth for the business.
We work with you, at a deeper level
Many consultants and coaches will give you suggestions or advice, and then leave you to try to implement it on your own. Our difference is we actually work with you at a deeper level, hands-on, inside your business, to help you identify and implement the best business improvement initiatives to reach your goals.
Our style of business management consultancy includes our proprietary Business Success Ecosystem methodology, as well as customised in-house training and one-to-one coaching services, tailored for each clients situation. We also provide a range of tools that will help you understand, implement and maintain the improvements within your business. We want to see you fully benefit from the actions taken.
Due to the depth and impactful nature of our work, we usually partner with clients over a 6 to 12-month period, based on an agreed scope of work, to help the business (and the business owners) reach their particular goals.
We add to what your accountant does
In the past it’s often been assumed that a firm’s accountant would provide business growth advice. However, research clearly shows most accountants focus on managing financial history and producing neat, accurate reports. That’s not a criticism; they simply are not trained, nor do they have the confidence, to provide specific proactive guidance across multiple areas of their clients business.
The good news is that we can work with your existing accountant, using modern methods and digital tools, to help you create and implement effective and timely business growth initiatives.
As part of our business growth program we’ll review the financial data and reporting you are receiving and assess if you would benefit from a more detailed or revised format for your business data. The goal is to help you make more informed business decisions.
