If you want to make a strong case for your products to be listed by a retailer, or if you’re a retailer and want to understand how to use key financial information to increase profit, then read our latest paper. Request a copy.
We provide the finance expertise an entrepreneur needs to turn a great concept into a brilliant business in the cost-effective form of a part-time finance director.
We’ve helped many entrepreneurs create businesses they’re proud of, and built a few businesses ourselves, so have loads of experience (good and bad) to share with our clients.
We’re drawn to working with stimulating, passionate, creative thinkers which has led – more by luck than judgement – to us specialising in working with:
- Businesses that sell food and drink, from manufacturers of fine food, to retailers and bars
- Businesses that sell time and talent, from designers to software developers

Please help us find the right person
We are looking for something that is almost as difficult to find as a Higgs bosun. A Cheltenham / Gloucester based finance director to join our team, with as much understanding of entrepreneurs and love of working with them as finance expertise. Please help us find that person.
If you feel it’s you, please call 0117 971 4119 and tell us more. We pay a base salary plus a share of client fees.
A new year?!
A new year?! That has to be the fastest three months ever. Productive though. We’re pleased to have started working with three new clients. And we met the MDs of twenty other businesses interested in our support, many of which we’re meeting again in January. Exciting times ahead.
Ever wondered why some ideas take hold and others come unstuck?
If you have and / or want to know how to get your ideas to stick in peoples minds then read Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath. Another great read is Getting More by Stuart Diamond recommended to me by Trevor Herbert of Hobbs House Bakery. Essential reading for anyone who has to negotiate. Which is everyone. We all do, everyday.
Wise words
Anyone trying to build a business should read this blog post by David Hieatt who learnt a lot in starting and building howies and is now putting all that he learnt to good use in building the Hiut Denim Co. As the Chinese proverb says ‘not until you do something will you understand it’.
