When I first met Dave, he was at breaking point. A 45-year-old IT consultant running his own limited company, Dave was juggling too many balls—clients, projects, kids from his first marriage, a busy family life with his second wife, and a never-ending pile of admin.
He told me, “I know I need help, but I’ve always been the kind of guy who gets on with it. Outsourcing feels like admitting defeat.”
Sound familiar?
Like many business owners I work with, Dave was independent to the core. He was proud of the business he’d built, turning over £300,000 a year, but he was overwhelmed. His evenings were swallowed by bookkeeping and paperwork, and he felt guilty every time he missed family time to “catch up.”
But the tipping point? A mistake in his financial forecasting left him short on cash just as a big project started. It wasn’t that Dave wasn’t good at what he did—he just didn’t have the time or headspace to manage everything.
When Dave finally decided to reach out, we started by diving into the nitty-gritty of his business operations. Here’s what we did:
Streamlined His Admin We reviewed his bookkeeping system and switched him to a cloud-based solution that automated much of the process. No more late-night invoicing marathons.
Gave Him Back His Time By taking over his monthly financial reporting and admin, we freed up 15 hours a month. That’s 15 hours he could spend with his kids or focusing on scaling his business.
Provided Clarity and Confidence We didn’t just handle the numbers; we made sure he understood them. With quarterly strategy calls, we helped Dave make better financial decisions, like when to invest in hiring and how to price his services for profitability.
Within two years of working together, Dave’s turnover jumped from £300,000 to £600,000. He wasn’t drowning in admin anymore, and he had the confidence to take on bigger contracts, knowing his finances were in safe hands.
More importantly, Dave finally felt like he had a handle on his business—and his life. He told me, “I should’ve done this years ago. It’s like a weight’s been lifted off my shoulders.”
