Work like a firm twice your size, and stay independent.
Who it's for
Who I work with
Independent firms of five to thirty people, and the founders building something new.
(01)(02)(03)(04)(05)
Accountants & bookkeepers
MTD keeps adding quarters, and chasing records eats the week.
Estate & letting agents
Enquiries land after six, and the Renters' Rights Act adds more admin.
Solicitors & conveyancers
Adoption the SRA would be comfortable with, then the chasing and the progress updates.
Financial advisers
You've bought the tools. They don't talk to each other, and reviews still take a day each.
Startups & founders
No technical co-founder, and an agency quote you don't want to accept.
In their words
"We were running a few thousand members out of spreadsheets and a WhatsApp group. Now our members do it all themselves, and we only get pulled in when something actually needs us."
