Know which week your cash runs short, before your bank does.
A company can make money and still miss payroll, because profit and cash arrive on different days. We build the system that sees it coming: a 13-week cash forecast refreshed every week, true margins, and a clear answer on what to decide.
Fixed price · No software to buy · No finance hire · No meetings to fit into your week
The Profit Engine
Most of the profit a company is missing is already inside it — buried in costs nobody has re-examined, margins nobody has measured product by product, and systems built to record the past instead of shaping the future. We take the numbers over and turn them into profit.
The 13-week forecast
Build a 13-week cash forecast in your browser in about ten minutes. No sign-up, no email, nothing to install, and nothing you type leaves your browser. It is the same weekly discipline we build into client engagements, in a simplified form — find out whether your company runs out of cash before you talk to anyone.
We read your company the way we read a listed one.
For fifteen years we have read balance sheets and income statements to decide whether a company was worth putting real money into. That is a fundamentally different discipline from recording what already happened — and it is the one we now point at your business. Bookkeepers file the past. Controllers describe the present. We rebuild the numbers into a system that decides the future. If you are still deciding whether you need one, we wrote the long version: what a fractional CFO does, what one costs, and when you should not hire one.
We take the numbers over
Accounting, invoicing, payroll data, bank flows and supplier records come to us and leave as structured data. Bookkeeping stops being a legal obligation to be endured and becomes the instrument panel the company never had.
Cost & margin X-ray
True unit economics by product, client, channel and site. Which lines actually carry the company, which customers cost more to serve than they pay, and where cost has quietly compounded for years without anyone re-opening the contract.
Restructuring on the evidence
Processes, roles, reporting lines and the cost base redesigned around what the numbers show — not around how it has always been done. Sequenced so the business keeps running while it changes underneath.
Optimised migration to new systems
From paper and spreadsheets to a digital, AI-assisted finance stack: tooling selection, data migration, automated document capture and team training. Executed without stopping the operation and without losing a single historical record.
Projections you can actually run on
Thirteen-week rolling cash, multi-year scenarios, break-even by scenario, and the downside modelled before you commit to the upside. Forecasting stops being an annual ritual and becomes a weekly instrument.
Maximum profit from the business you already own.
Revenue growth is expensive, slow, and largely outside your control. Margin is none of those things. Every unit of cost we locate and remove is profit that was already yours — it simply wasn't visible. That is the entire objective, and it is what we are measured on.
- Margin measured where decisions are actually made
- Cost base rebuilt, not trimmed
- Pricing and mix decided on evidence, not instinct
- Working capital released from the balance sheet
- Surplus routed into the capital side — where it compounds

When the operation starts
throwing off surplus.
Once margin work has done its job, the company has a second problem it did not have before: cash sitting still. Deciding how much must stay liquid, how much can go to work and when to pull it back is its own discipline, and we build the governed system that decides it — without ever taking custody of a cent or charging a percentage of your money.
It runs on a method we have published in the open, position by position, since November 2024 — and on fifteen years of reading company financials before that.
The Governor & the capital system →Why you should believe
we can read your numbers.
This is not what we sell you. It is how you check, before you write to us, that the people proposing to take your accounts over can actually read a set of accounts. For fifteen years we have read balance sheets to decide whether to put real money into a company — and every call the method has made since November 2024 is on the public record, independently tracked, winners and losers alike.
Independently recorded on TipRanks. These figures describe the published track record of our own research method — they are historical, not a forecast, and not the return of any client account. Our operations engagements are priced as fixed fees and never as a percentage of your capital. Capital at risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results. See the full record →
