Business strategy

A plan is only useful if the board will keep it. We build the model, the capital map and the monthly questions that stop the plan from drifting.

What we take on

From ambition to a funded calendar

Founders often arrive with a slide and a hope. We turn that into a three-year view of cash, headcount and capital — then a twelve-month operating cadence the board can hold us to.

  • Integrated P&L, cash and balance-sheet model
  • Capital allocation and dividend policy
  • Board pack redesign and meeting cadence
  • Scenario work before a hire, site or acquisition

The work

How a strategy brief runs

01

Read the file

Last eighteen months of actuals, the current forecast and the decisions already circling the board.

02

Build the model

One workbook the FD can own. Drivers, not a black box. Stress cases the board has already named.

03

Hold the room

A working session, not a reveal. We argue the numbers until the plan can be run next Monday.

04

Keep the cadence

A monthly pack and a quarterly re-forecast so the plan does not become a forgotten PDF.
