Work with me
From a Good Business to a Great One
I work one-on-one with owners and founders, run programs for the organisations that back them, and sit on boards. With owners and founders I start with where the money and the time are going. Then I check whether the business model still works, and I build a strategy from how the business actually runs. Pick the page that sounds like you.
Which One Is You?
You built a good business and it runs on you
Private, one-on-one advice and mentoring for owners of established businesses. I find the small things adding up and help you work on the ones that matter most.
See the owners page FoundersYou raised the money and now have to grow into it
One-on-one advice for founders after the round or the grant: the numbers, the hires, the sales engine and the board.
See the founders page Incubators, accelerators, investors, regional bodiesYou want the Entrepreneurs Leverage Program for your founders
A 12-month program, run in person in your region, with peer accountability. I analyse the financials of every business in it.

I look for the small things that make a good business great
The Shop Floor and the Boardroom
I worked in operations at manufacturing plants and mines before I advised anyone. Now I also sit on a board. I know how a decision looks from both ends.
The Numbers and the People
I read a balance sheet and a team with the same attention. Problems often show up in the numbers but start somewhere else, like the team.
Patterns and Detail
After more than 1000 businesses, I've seen most patterns before. I still look at the small things in yours as if I haven't.
Growth and a Life
Growth that needs 80-hour weeks costs you more than it gives. I want your business to grow and you to have time for the rest of your life.
