As a small but fast-growing business we were struggling to make a profit but couldn’t really see where we were going wrong – we were working hard but in the wrong direction. Paul helped us to identify exactly what needed to be worked on and helped us figure out how to nail it down. He has been invaluable in setting up proper processes, getting on top of the numbers, and figuring out how to drive the ship a lot better.
Working with Paul has been like someone giving you a perfect pair of glasses when you’ve been bumping into things because you can’t see clearly. If I hadn’t had his support over the last few years, our business would not have made it through – he knows exactly how to figure out what the problems are, how to help you prioritise them and address them, and has been critical in getting the business to a safe place.
Paul has a real skill for figuring out what exactly is going on under the surface and helping you figure out how to tackle it and guide the business to a safe place. He has helped us figure out what our real operating costs are so we can get them under control, figuring out where the profit lies and where not, and he is invaluable for great ideas that I would otherwise never have thought of alone.
My business would not have made it through the last few years without Paul’s invaluable support.
