Our monthly coaching programme provides accountability and support, helping you make the best decisions for your business and personal life. Together, we'll develop strategies to achieve your desired outcomes and the lifestyle you want.
I need certainty around accounting fees and flexible payment options. Are there packages for quick questions?
Yes, we review the scope of work and agree on a fee estimate before starting. We offer monthly payment plans for some engagements. To give you the freedom to ask quick questions, we have complimentary phone call and email packages tailored to different business structures, whether you're a sole trader or running a larger business.
I sign my financial statements every year but don't understand the figures. Does it matter?
Absolutely. Understanding your financial statements is key to improving future cashflow, increasing profit margins, and adjusting your business plan.
