Running a business is hard enough without pretending everything's perfect. I help SME owners fix the problems that keep them up at night - from cashflow crises to growth challenges.
I've helped other businesses solve these types of challenges
HMRC is chasing you, suppliers want payment, and you're juggling which bills to pay first. You need someone who can negotiate breathing room and fix the underlying problems.
How I help: Creditor negotiation, cash recovery, financial controls
Sales look good but there's never any cash left. Your accountant gives you numbers but you don't really understand where profits are leaking.
How I help: Build simple dashboards, fix profit leaks, improve margins
You can't take a holiday because the business stops without you. Every decision, every problem, every customer issue lands on your desk.
How I help: Build processes, develop your team, create systems
You've been at £2M-£5M for years. Tried different things but nothing breaks through. Starting to wonder if this is as big as you'll get.
How I help: Identify growth barriers, new revenue streams, operational efficiency
Everyone says you need better systems, websites, or apps. But you don't know what's worth investing in or how to make it actually help your business.
How I help: Practical tech solutions, vendor management, digital strategy
Your operations manager or finance lead quit suddenly. You need someone experienced to step in fast while you find a replacement.
How I help: Interim coverage, maintain momentum, hire replacement
No lengthy proposals or discovery phases. I listen to your problems, we agree what success looks like, and I start fixing things. Simple as that.
Free 30-minute call to understand your situation. If I can help, I'll tell you how. If I can't, I'll point you to someone who can.
We agree specific outcomes, timeline, and budget. No surprises, no scope creep, no endless billable hours.
I work alongside you and your team to deliver the agreed outcomes. Quick wins first, then sustainable improvements.
They were two weeks from shutting down. HMRC was threatening action, the books were a mess, and sales were declining. I stepped in as interim COO, negotiated with creditors, rebuilt their financial systems, and turned the business around.
"Dan gave us back control of our business"
I've launched services from zero to £200M. I know what it's like to worry about cashflow, struggle with systems, and wear multiple hats. Big company experience, but I understand your reality.
Recently helped a family business avoid closure - 90% debt reduction, profitable in months. I don't panic in a crisis because I've handled plenty. Your problems aren't unique, and they can be solved.
I won't lecture you about what you should have done differently. I'll roll up my sleeves and help fix what needs fixing. From negotiating with HMRC to rebuilding your finance function - whatever it takes.
I won't give you a nice theoretical framework that you can't implement. Everything we do will have clear, measurable outcomes. More cash, better margins, faster growth - real improvements you can see in your bank account.
I know budgets are tight. That's why I offer flexible engagement models that deliver maximum value for your investment.
