Sensible data, automation and QA for the way your business actually runs.
We help small businesses tidy up messy spreadsheets, replace manual workflows with software, and put the right reporting in front of the right people. We start from the decision you're trying to make, not the data, and we write the work down in plain English so your team can run it after we leave.
For small businesses, accountancy practices, e-commerce, subscription businesses, lenders and fintech.
Six things, done properly.
We take on work that fits inside one of these. If a brief sits cleanly outside them, we will say so and point you elsewhere.
A simple four step engagement.
Same shape every time, so you always know what comes next.
Send a paragraph
A short email describing what you need. We reply within one working day with clarifying questions, no sales pitch.
Scope, agreed in writing
A one page scope: deliverables, timeline, price, what is in and what is out. Approved in writing before any work starts.
Delivery
We work remotely and asynchronously. Progress at agreed checkpoints, with short walkthrough videos rather than status meetings.
Handover and one revision
A documented handover, a recorded walkthrough, and one round of revisions included as standard.
Work that is short, written down, and yours.
Every brief comes with the same four deliverables. No surprise add-ons, no scope creep.
A written brief, agreed before we start
Fixed scope, fixed price, in writing. Approved in writing before any work starts.
Weekly written updates
What we found, what we did not. Plain English, no jargon.
Your source files at the end
Notebooks, queries, models, dashboards. All handed over, all yours.
A handover walk-through
We sit with your team, walk them through the work and the caveats, and answer questions.
Senior, written down, and easy to hand back.
Every engagement is led by a senior practitioner. We write things down as we go, in plain English, so the work survives long after we have finished it. You get a useful system to run, not a black box to maintain.
About the practiceReply within one working day
Send a paragraph by email and you will have a sensible reply by tomorrow at the latest.
Scoped and priced to your brief
Quoted in writing before kick off. We adapt to the way your business actually works.
Async by email, calls when they help
Email is the default. We use calls when they save time, not as the daily routine.
Plain English, always
Documentation a non specialist can read. Numbers explained, assumptions written down.
From a Monday slide pack to a live daily view.
A small lender was reconciling six workbooks every morning before deciding which lending lines to open. We rebuilt the inputs once, automated the daily refresh, and added flagging rules the credit committee could trust by sign off.
Built for small businesses first.
The work changes by sector. The way we run a project does not.
Small businesses
Tidy spreadsheets, simple automations, a reporting view leadership actually opens.
Accountancy practices
Tools for the practice itself, not for clients. Workflow, QA on returns, monthly packs.
E-commerce
Margin by SKU, supplier reconciliation, fulfilment metrics. Numbers you can act on.
Subscription businesses
Churn, cohorts, revenue retention. Plain English answers, not vanity dashboards.
Lenders and fintech
KYC and CDD support, credit risk and pricing models, BCBS 239 in plain English.
