Level 1
£500
per month
Yards that need the monthly numbers to arrive on time and mean something.
- Monthly KPI dashboard
- Management reporting pack
- Commentary explaining what actually moved, and why
- Email access for questions between packs
What it costs, before you ask.
Two ways to work together, both with the price on the page. Diagnose the problem once for a fixed fee, or keep the numbers under control every month. No packages, no sales process, no “let’s have a conversation about budget”.
Diagnose it once.
One fee for one bounded piece of work. It does not move once the scope is agreed, there is no day rate running underneath it, and there is nothing you have to buy afterwards.
- A review across trading margin, stock, transport, yard capacity, cash and reporting.
- A written findings document you can act on without us.
- A ranked action list separating internal fixes from work needing specialist help.
- A walkthrough conversation where you get to argue with the conclusions.
Or keep it under control every month.
For context: a full-time finance business partner is a salaried hire plus employment costs. Most small and medium scrap businesses cannot justify one, but would benefit from the same expertise a few days a month. That gap is what this is for.
Month to month, 30 days’ notice either way. No minimum term and no exit fee.
Level 2
Most take this£1,000
per month
Businesses that want to look forward as well as back — and want someone to argue with each month.
- Everything in Level 1
- Forecasting and budget tracking
- A monthly business partner meeting
- Margin and cost analysis on whatever you are actively working on
Level 3
£2,000+
per month
Operators who need finance director input without hiring a finance director.
- Everything in Level 2
- Outsourced Finance Director and business partner role
- Board-level reporting and decision support
- Regular strategic input on pricing, capacity and investment decisions
- Direct availability between meetings
Level 3 starts at £2,000 because the right figure depends on how many days a month the business actually needs. It is agreed in writing before it starts, like everything else.
What you can hold us to.
Six commitments. Every one is something you can point at later if it is not being honoured.
- Fixed before you commit
- You get the fee and the timetable in writing before you agree to anything. If neither has happened, no work has started and nothing is owed.
- No lock-in on monthly support
- It runs month to month with 30 days' notice on either side. No minimum term, no exit fee — work that has to be contractually trapped is not working.
- The Health Check is not a sales call
- It is a complete piece of work in its own right. Most findings are internal fixes you can act on without us, and if that is the outcome, that is a good outcome.
- No surprise invoices
- No day rates, no scope creep, no charge for the scoping conversation, and no billing for emails or phone calls.
- Your information stays yours
- Nothing about your business — the name, the figures, or the fact that you are a client — appears anywhere without your written approval. Happy to sign your NDA before you send a thing.
- One person, start to finish
- Whoever reads your enquiry is who does the work. Nothing is passed to a junior, and there is no sales team in between.
What you are committing to, at each point.
- Making an enquiry
- Nothing. An enquiry commits you to nothing. If this is not the right service, we will say so.
- After the scoping conversation
- Nothing, until you accept a written scope and fee. The conversation itself is not chargeable.
- During the Health Check
- The agreed £2,500, and the time of your people to answer questions honestly.
- After the findings
- Nothing. Most findings are internal fixes you can act on yourself, and that is a perfectly good outcome.
Start with the question, not the invoice.
You will hear back within one working day. The person who does the work reads your enquiry. There is no sales team.
