A fixed-fee project · from small businesses to groups

Find why the mistakes happen, and fix the system behind them

Our team works inside your business for six weeks to three months. We review your finances, purchasing, sales and production, find the errors and their causes, then rebuild how the company runs: procedures, job descriptions, policies, licences, controls and a system that tells every manager what to do and when.

When you need it

Signs your processes need rebuilding

Errors are rarely one person's fault. Usually the process allows them, so fixing the figure is not enough: the cause has to be fixed too.

The same errors every month

Corrections, credit notes and journals that fix last month's mistakes.

Figures you do not trust

Reports that disagree with the bank, or arrive too late to use.

Cash that slips away

Unpaid invoices, double payments, costs nobody approved.

Everything depends on one person

If they are off sick or leave, nobody knows how it works.

Nobody knows who approves what

Purchases, payments and discounts agreed by whoever is around.

Access and security worries

Shared passwords, too many people with bank access, no audit trail.

Two-minute check

How healthy are your finance processes?

Tick what is true for your business today. The fewer ticks, the more an error, a fraud or one person leaving can cost you.

We use the same questions, in much more depth, in the diagnostic at the start of every project.

How the project runs

From findings to a system that works

You see the findings and agree the new process before anything changes.

  1. 1

    Diagnostic and interviews

    A first look, then interviews with the owner and every employee: what each person does now, and what they should do.

  2. 2

    Finance review

    Transactions, reconciliations, VAT and payroll, and how purchasing, sales and production really work.

  3. 3

    Causes and costs

    For every error, why it happened and what it costs you, in pounds.

  4. 4

    Redesign

    Process map, job descriptions, policies and cross-checks, so each person checks the work before theirs.

  5. 5

    Compliance

    Policies required in the UK checked, licences confirmed or applied for, documents put in order in a secure archive.

  6. 6

    System and handover

    Everything set up in software, from first customer contact to contract to the books, and your team trained.

What you receive

Everything stays with you

Your company in line with the law and the rules, ready for any inspection, and written so your team can follow it.

Findings report

Every error found, its cause, what it cost and how to stop it happening again.

Process map

How purchasing, sales, production and finance work today, and how they will work from now on.

Job descriptions

Written for each person from their interview: what they do, what they should do, and who checks their work.

Policies pack

Internal policies the business needs in the UK: HR, payroll, internal procedures and the policies on your website.

Licences

Every licence your activity needs checked, and applications prepared for any that are missing.

Approval rules and cross-checks

Who approves what, up to which amount, and where each person checks the one before.

Management reports

The reports each manager needs, built from your own figures.

Secure document archive

Contracts, policies and records in order, in a protected electronic archive.

A configured system

Every step automated, from a customer's first contact to the contract to your books.

After the project

Keep the controls working with a finance director plan: we check them every month alongside your reporting.

    A system built around your business

    More than a CRM

    Tasks and processes, an internal chat, email and messenger connections, and analytics for the whole business.

    People management

    An HR card for every employee, bonuses, ratings and motivation, and a view of who completed which tasks and how they are developing.

    Questions

    Process review questions

    Scroll over them, use the arrows or select a question.

    No. A statutory audit is an independent opinion on your accounts by a registered auditor. This is a review for you and your management: we look at how your finance work is done, find what goes wrong and why, and rebuild the process.

    For a small business, about six to eight weeks with one or two specialists. For larger companies, usually three months with a team of two to three. After the diagnostic we confirm the scope, the timetable and a fixed fee, so you know both before we start.

    Yes. We check the policies a UK business of your type is expected to have, including HR, payroll and your website policies, and every licence your activity needs. If something is missing, we prepare the documents and the application.

    Yes, if it does the job. Otherwise we build your processes into our own software, adapted to your business, or recommend another good fit. Either way your team is trained before we hand over.

    Everyone. We interview the owner and every employee about what they do now, watch how tasks are actually done and test the new process with them, so it works in practice, not just on paper.

    You keep everything: procedures, job descriptions, policies, controls and the configured system. We keep the system supported from £100 a month, and a finance director plan keeps the controls checked every month.
