Data-led insights
We avoid across-the-board cuts. Instead, we build a clear, data-led view of cost drivers, challenge every line, and rebuild budgets from zero where needed. We pair Zero Based Budgeting (ZBB) with spend analytics, supplier consolidation and firm negotiation to deliver measurable savings without harming your service or growth.
Tangible results
Benefits are owned by budget holders and signed off with finance, so progress shows up in the Profit and Loss (P&L) and cash. We use activity-based costing to surface hidden waste and align functions around one plan, creating faster decisions, cleaner execution and savings that last well beyond our project.

Cleaner reporting and rolling forecasts
We replace static budgets with rolling forecasts and scenario planning. Dashboards will blend financial, operational, and commercial data, giving you timely views of margin, cash and variance. This means that your teams can act quicker, your leaders can model options before committing, and your meetings will focus on decisions and insights, rather than chasing numbers.
Operating model and habits
We'll design a simpler, fit-for-purpose operating model, streamlining your processes, and clarifying who owns what. This will shorten your month-end close, tighten cash controls, and improve handovers between teams. By establishing a clear monthly rhythm for performance reviews and KPI tracking, we ensure improvements are sustained and your finance team becomes a true strategic partner.
