Stressed out about money and business finances and wish you had someone in your back pocket that you could ask all of those burning questions?
Someone who has experience of working in the finance industry AND growing their own business - someone who speaks in plain English so you actually understand what’s being said.
Then you’re in the right place!
Do you find yourself asking questions like…
What the heck is my accountant even talking about?
Is it possible to invest in my business AND pay off my debt?
Am I charging too much? Not enough? Aaagh! How do I get it right?
How do I even manage my money when I don’t know what’s coming in and going out?
Should I be a Limited Company?
I feel quite negative about money and stuff that’s happened in the past - how do I get past that?
But just Googling these questions ISN’T bringing you anything helpful
There are a million different answers to everything and you’re pretty sure at least half of them are written in a made-up language.
PLUS, none of these answers take into account your personal situation and circumstances. They don’t take into account what’s going on in your business (or life) right now or what’s happened before.
That’s exactly why I offer
Pick My Brain Sessions
These sessions are designed for you to get your questions answered by me - it’s all about practical one to one support from an experienced business finances and money management expert (that’s me!)
During our session together you get my support that is tailored specifically to you and your business…there’s no one-size-fits-all solutions here. I’ll also signpost you to additional resources and follow up tasks if needed so you’re not just left completely alone again at the end of our hour together.

3. Ask your question(s)
We’ll have an hour together for you to ask your question(s) and for me to reply. We can go back and forth, mull things over and really get to the bottom of what’s troubling you right now.
What we can talk about or work on during our session
An opportunity to chat through stuff your accountant didn’t explain clearly or you were too scared to ask.
Getting your pricing right - what should you charge?
Managing the cash in your business
Creating a plan for your money
Bookkeeping questions - what do you need to track?
How much should you pay yourself and how?
FAQ’s:
Is this for UK businesses only?
Yes, it is. My training and experience is all UK-based.
However, I also understand, and work with, the emotional side of money - if this is something you would like to talk about but are based outside of the UK, please send me a message before booking.
What if I need to reschedule?
Life happens, I get that!
You can reschedule your session up to 24 hours before the start time. Just send me an email or a message on Voxer to reschedule.
Do you give tax advice?
No, I am no longer registered as an accountant so I can't give tax advice. What I can do is point you to professional resources that will help you rather than you searching Google and potentially following the wrong advice.
Can you review my business plan?
No, the sessions are designed to exchange voice notes and texts, reviewing of documents isn't included.
