Expertise You Can Trust
Emma Simpson
Founder & Business Transformation Consultant
Most businesses don't have a strategy problem, a finance problem or a people problem. They typically have all three and nobody's joined the dots yet. Emma works directly with Founders, Owner-Manger's and Management team to see the whole picture: what the numbers are really saying, where the people challenges are costing the business, and whether the strategy being executed is actually the right one. Diagnostic, straight-talking and deeply commercial, she operates at board level across business MOTs, strategic advisory, executive recruitment, coaching, peer group facilitation and NED appointments, exclusively in the SME space.
"My job is to see the whole picture, even the bits people aren't ready to look at yet."
Lee Brooks
Fractional Finance Director
Most businesses don't need more data. They need someone who can tell them what it means. Lee is a Finance Director who steps into growing SMEs and builds the financial foundations that allow confident, commercial decision-making, from management accounts that people actually use, to fixing the broken processes quietly holding the business back. He's not here to baffle you with numbers. He's here to make them work for you.
"My job is simple, give business owners the financial clarity they need to make the right calls, without the cost or complexity of a full-time hire."
Andie Keith
Fractional Finance Director
Finance should move a business forward, not just report on where it's been. Andie works with SMEs to shift their finance function from a historical record into a genuine commercial tool, improving cashflow, sharpening profitability and putting the right information in front of the right people at the right time. Hands-on, straight-talking and deeply commercial, she translates the numbers into decisions.
"I want business owners to feel in control of their finances, not intimidated by them."
