Quick wins this month. A stronger business for the next ten years. Big-company leadership and tech know-how, for small businesses in Manchester and beyond that want to go further.
We've spent our careers in big companies, where things take months. We'd rather fix it this week.
But a good pacer runs at your target speed, not their own. We do the heavy lifting, so your team doesn't have to keep up. They just feel the difference.
[ROAD_NAME], MD and Finance Director
Cash, pricing, margins, growth and knowing what to stop doing. Precise, quick, and obsessed with the numbers that matter.
[ULTRA_NAME], Programme Director and technical lead
Systems, data and projects that land on time. Built for the long haul, and calm when things go sideways.
A big company's leadership team. Two people. No meetings about meetings.
Money and strategy
Part-time MD and Finance Director experience, without the full-time salary. Cash flow you can trust, prices that make money, and a plan you can actually follow.
Part-time MD and FD supportJoined-up systems
Your systems should talk to each other. Your people shouldn't be the cable. We connect your sales, accounts, stock and payroll so data moves on its own, and your team stops retyping it.
Systems integration for small businessHealthy business
Lean processes, healthy cash and a team with the energy to enjoy the work. We help with both sides, from tidying up how work gets done to getting everyone outside more.
Workplace wellbeing and a fitter businessEvery fix gives hours back, usually hours someone spent copying numbers from one screen to another. We gave your team back eight hours a week? Spend one of them outside.
Fixed scope, fixed price, done in weeks. Connect two systems, fix your month-end, build a cash forecast you believe.
Ongoing part-time MD, FD and programme leadership. We become part of your team, for as long as you need us.
Both start the same way: a free 30-minute chat where we tell you honestly whether we can help. Sometimes the answer is that you don't need us.

Mostly owner-run businesses with somewhere between a handful and a hundred or so people [PLACEHOLDER: founders to confirm range]. Big enough that things are getting complicated, small enough that the owner still does far too much themselves. If you're not sure you fit, ask. We'll tell you straight.
Usually within a couple of weeks of the first chat [PLACEHOLDER: founders to confirm]. You'll get a short written plan and a fixed price first, so you know exactly what you're agreeing to before any work starts.
Quick Wins are a fixed price, agreed up front, from £[PLACEHOLDER] [founders to confirm]. The Long Game is a monthly fee for a set amount of our time. Either way, you know the number before we start, and it doesn't creep.
Usually not. Most of the time the tools you already pay for can do far more than they're being asked to. We connect what you've got first, and only suggest a change when keeping the old thing costs you more than replacing it.
Not in the way you're thinking. No long reports, no open-ended bills. We fix things, at a fixed price, and then you decide if you want more.
We're based in Manchester and work across the North West in person, and with businesses anywhere in the UK remotely [PLACEHOLDER: founders to confirm]. Most of the work happens on video calls and in your systems anyway, so distance rarely gets in the way.
