Our partnership approach

Founders are expected to do everything. Most manage it — up to the point where instinct stops being enough and the decisions get expensive.

A hire that doubles payroll. A price change across the whole book. A second location. A funding round. That's the point where our clients call us. Some come at day one, choosing a company structure and setting up their first accounts. Others come at year five, profitable but stuck, with numbers that don't explain why.

What we're not is a report factory. You won't get a 60-page deck and a handshake. Advisory, done properly, is an ongoing working relationship.

Who this is for

Three kinds of businesses
FIT / 01

Startups getting the foundations right

Company formation, structure, first accounting systems, early budgets. First-year decisions are the cheapest to get right — and the most expensive to unwind.

FIT / 02

Established SMEs that have stopped growing

Revenue is fine, margins are shrinking or flat, and nobody can say precisely why. This is where the profitability and KPI work pays for itself fastest.

FIT / 03

Owners preparing for something big

A funding round, an acquisition, a new partner, an eventual exit. The businesses that get good outcomes started preparing two years before they needed to.

Advisory that covers the whole business.

How we work

No homework, no hand-offs
STEP 01

Understand

Your numbers and your story — accounts, KPIs if they exist, and a long conversation about where the business is meant to be going.

STEP 02

Diagnose

Within weeks, our honest read: what's working, what's leaking money, what's a risk, what to do first. In writing, in plain English.

STEP 03

Build

We implement together — the KPI dashboard, the pricing change, the restructure, the plan. We don't hand you homework.

STEP 04

Review

A standing monthly review of results against plan. Advice you can't measure is just opinion.

In practice

Ten days to find the leak. Two quarters to fix it.

A Dublin services business came to us doing roughly €1.4m a year — busy, growing, and somehow never holding onto cash. The diagnostic found the answer in ten days: two of their five service lines were being sold below true cost, masked by blended margins.

We repriced one line, retired the other, and built a monthly margin report by service. Within two quarters, profit was up meaningfully on flat revenue — and the owner could finally see which work was worth winning.
