Business Support & Leadership Advisory
Strategic insights and practical solutions to empower your business and leadership decisions.
Strategic Input Beyond the Numbers
Good business decisions need more than clean spreadsheets. They need structured thinking, sound judgement, and a clear understanding of how financial decisions affect the bigger picture, from team dynamics and systems, to risk, operations, and delivery.
That’s where I step in. With years of leadership experience across multiple sectors, I help business owners and management teams take a more connected approach, one that supports decision making with strategic clarity and operational confidence.
I believe in one version of the truth, a single source of shared information that everyone in the leadership team can rely on. When decisions are made using different data sets, it slows down progress and creates confusion. But when everyone is working from the same clear picture, alignment becomes easier, and decisions are stronger.
Tailored to how your leadership team works, not off the shelf, and never disconnected.
01.
Understand Your Leadership Model
We begin by assessing your current leadership structure, understanding roles, decision making flow, and how the leadership team interacts across all business functions. We’ll identify areas for improvement in team alignment and progress decision making clarity.

Clarify Leadership Objectives and Challenges
Together, we define the key objectives for your leadership team. Whether it’s improving operational efficiency, supporting growth, or enhancing team cohesion, we make sure the focus is on the challenges that are hindering performance.
03.
Assess Organisational Structure and Reporting
Using techniques such as SWOT analysis we’ll evaluate your current HR model, workflows and information flows to identify improvement opportunities. Sometimes it’s skills, sometimes structure. We pinpoint the tools, processes, or capabilities that will make the biggest difference.

Enhance Business Support & Operational Alignment
We improve the integration between your support functions and broader operations. This might involve updating systems, enhancing integration or adjusting operational processes so data flows and work flows are efficient.
05.
Provide Leadership Support and Coaching
Whether you need support in executive meetings, coaching for the leadership team, or a sounding board for major decisions, I step in to support at every level. My goal is to help leadership make confident, data driven decisions that keep your business on track.
06.
Build Sustainable Leadership Practices
We focus on creating practices that ensure leadership stays aligned, effective, and responsive to future challenges. From team development to strategic reviews, we make sure your leadership team is set up to drive long term business success.
Flexible Support — Built Around You
You may not need a full time CFO to achieve your strategic goals. I offer flexible support: hourly, project based, or retained, depending on what your business needs.
From stepping in during periods of change or team transition to providing ongoing strategic advice, I work in a way that fits your team and tempo.
This includes temporary cover for leadership absences, whether that’s maternity, illness, sabbatical, or unplanned transitions. This support can be at board level, exec level, or within specific departments.
Plans that Evolve With You
This isn’t just about fixing today’s problem . It’s about building the kind of finance leadership that grows with your business. We adapt the plan as you evolve, ensuring your structure and strategy remain aligned and responsive.
On a retainer, that evolution becomes part of our ongoing relationship. We stay close, adjust the focus as needed and keep progress moving.
