For owners, founders and managers
Answers when something in your business does not add up.
When something is wrong, you need the facts – quietly and quickly. When nothing is wrong yet, you need structure that keeps it that way. Plain language, at a price that makes sense for a business your size.
What I see most often
A few trusted people who have never been checked. Cash, stock or margins that drift. Suppliers chosen by the person who approves the invoices. Procedures that live in people’s heads. Then a partner, an investor or a bank asks questions that need answers beyond doubt.
These situations are routine for me – and rarely as costly to resolve as owners expect, if handled early and discreetly.
How I help
- If you think something is wrong
- A discreet investigation: facts, amounts and the people involved; evidence preserved, business kept running.
- If you want to know where you are exposed
- A fixed-fee check of how money, goods and approvals move through your business – and the five things to fix first.
- If you want it not to happen again
- Right-sized controls your team will use; part-time integrity support where a full-time function is not justified.
Why owners work with me
You deal with me, not a junior team, and receive the methodology international groups pay large-firm fees for – scaled to your business, explained without jargon. Seventeen years of advising businesses have shown me how fraud actually happens: procurement, cash, inventory, payroll, related parties. I know where to look first. Discretion is absolute; scope and price are agreed before work starts.
What owners ask
- Is my business too small for this?
- If it is large enough to lose money without you noticing, it is large enough.
- Will my people find out?
- Only when you decide they should. Preliminary work is usually done from documents and data alone.
- What if you find nothing?
- Then you have a clean bill of health, a short list of improvements – and certainty.
