How we work
Four steps, no filler
We deliberately keep our process tight. Every engagement follows the same structure, but the content inside each step is shaped entirely by your numbers and your context.
Diagnostic week
We spend five working days inside your business. That means sitting with your finance team, walking your operations, reading the contracts nobody has reviewed in three years. By Friday you receive a written diagnostic report with the three to five issues that, if fixed, will have the largest impact on profitability.
Prioritisation workshop
A half-day session with your leadership team. We present the findings, pressure-test them together, and agree on which two initiatives to tackle first. Trying to fix everything at once is how consulting projects stall; we pick the highest-leverage moves and leave the rest for later.
Execution sprint
Over eight to ten weeks we work alongside your people to implement the agreed changes. That might mean restructuring a pricing model, renegotiating supplier terms, or redesigning a reporting cadence. We don't hand you a slide deck and disappear. We stay until the change is live.
Measurement and handover
Thirty days after the sprint ends, we return to measure results against the baseline from step one. You keep every template, tool and process document we built. If the numbers haven't moved, we extend the engagement at no additional cost.
What we do
Services built around real problems
Financial performance review
We pull apart your P&L line by line, benchmark margins against sector medians, and identify where cash is leaking. Most clients discover two or three cost centres that have drifted 15–20% above where they should be.
Operational efficiency
Slow fulfilment, duplicated roles, manual reporting that eats 20 hours a week: we map your workflows, time them, and redesign the ones that cost the most. Our target is a measurable productivity gain within the first sprint.
Growth strategy
Should you enter a new market, launch a second product line, or acquire a competitor? We build the financial model, stress-test the assumptions, and present a recommendation with a clear go/no-go threshold so you can decide with confidence.
Leadership and team design
When a business grows past 30 people, the structure that got you here stops working. We help you design reporting lines, define role scopes, and build a management rhythm that keeps information flowing without endless meetings.
Pricing and commercial model
Many businesses set prices once and never revisit them. We analyse your customer segments, willingness-to-pay data, and competitor positioning, then help you implement a pricing structure that protects volume while lifting revenue per unit.
Why us
We have opinions, and we back them with numbers
Our team has worked inside businesses, not just advised them from the outside. Before founding Insight Business Advisory, our principals held finance director and COO roles in manufacturing, logistics, and professional services. That operational background means we understand the gap between a recommendation and its execution.
We charge fixed fees per engagement, agreed upfront. No day-rate creep, no scope ambiguity. If a project runs longer than planned because of something we missed, the cost stays the same.
Every recommendation we make includes a projected financial impact and a timeline. After the engagement ends, we come back to check whether those projections held. Roughly nine out of ten do. When they don't, we stay until they do.
