Our Clients

Does This Sound Familiar?
Running a manufacturing, retail, or construction business demands everything you've got. Yet the financial side often feels a step behind. You're working harder than ever, but the numbers aren't giving you the clarity to make confident calls.
You might recognise a few of these:
- "Sales keep climbing, but I still feel cash-poor every single week."
- "I know some jobs or product lines are bleeding money. I just can't pinpoint which ones."
- "My reports land months after the fact, by which time the damage is already done."
- "I can't justify a full-time CFO salary, but we clearly need stronger financial leadership."
- "Seasonal gaps keep catching us off guard."
- "Too much of our revenue rides on one big customer, and I don't know how to de-risk it."
- "I spend more time firefighting financial problems than actually running the business."

What We Do Together
A Financial Plan You'll Actually Use
Most plans get built once, then die in a drawer. We build you a living roadmap that ties straight to how you run the business week to week. Clear revenue and margin targets, an honest read on the gap between where you are and where you're headed, and the commercial clarity to make faster, better calls. You'll always know your next move and the number behind it.
Numbers That Win Over Lenders, Investors, and Boards
When the people funding your growth look at your business, they're really looking at your numbers and at you. We build the financial story that earns their confidence: clear, credible reporting that holds up under scrutiny. Raising finance, managing a board, or structuring a partnership, your financials will speak for themselves before you say a word.
See the Risk Before It Becomes a Problem
Every business carries financial risk. The difference is whether you can see it early enough to act. We surface the vulnerabilities hiding in your cost base, customer concentration, contracts, and cash cycle, then put the systems and discipline in place to manage them on your terms, not in a panic.
Find the Profit You're Leaving on the Table
Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity. Most SMEs simply can't see where they're genuinely making money and where it's quietly leaking away. We dig into margins at the product, job, or channel level to show you exactly where profitability erodes, and which pricing, operational, or commercial moves will shift the dial.
Stop Firefighting Cash, Start Planning With It
Cash keeps the business alive, and most cash crunches are visible well in advance if you have the right systems watching. We build rolling cash flow forecasts, restructure your working capital, and give you the forward visibility to plan instead of react. For one client, that meant going from persistently negative free cash flow to consistently positive within months.
Free Up the Cash Trapped in Your Operations
The gap between your inventory, debtors, creditors, and cash is where most SME financial pain quietly lives. We look past the numbers to understand how your operations drive your working capital cycle, then fix it: tighter inventory discipline, smarter payment terms, a finance function that talks to your operations team. The result is more cash in the business and far fewer nasty surprises.
We Work with You to Turn Your Dream into Reality
Bringing over 25 years of global multi-industry strategic expertise to your business. Leveraging broad experience in finance, strategy, operations, and commercial performance across Fortune 500, private equity, and single-owner companies.….

Hear from professionals about exceptional leadership, transformative strategies, and impactful business results that drive growth and success.
“ I had the privilege of working with Prasath during his tenure at Denso and Porta where he demonstrated exceptional strategic vision and operational excellence. His ability to drive business transformation while delivering concrete financial results was remarkable - from implementing advanced analytics platforms that revolutionized decision-making to spearheading lean manufacturing initiatives that significantly improved operational efficiency. What truly sets Prasath apart is his unique combination of financial acumen and operational leadership. He not only increased EBITDA by 40% during challenging COVID conditions but also showed impressive innovation in improving warehouse operations and inventory management, resulting in substantial cash flow improvements. His implementation of data-driven decision-making through Tableau and Power BI transformed how the businesses operated. Prasath has also proven to be an outstanding people leader who understands that sustainable business success comes from developing teams and improving processes. His track record of successful digital transformations across multiple organizations, combined with his ability to build and lead high-performing teams, makes him an invaluable asset to any organization seeking strategic business leadership. ”

“ Prasath is an ambitious and tech- forward leader, who understands people and the process- technology approach. I'm glad to have collaborated to deliver a finance transformation project, which not only improved governance and controls but also much- needed efficiency., So, the team could focus on Prasath's strategic initiatives ”

"I worked closely with Prasath during my time at Porta Mouldings. As the CFO, he was very focused on maintaining financial discipline, improving efficiencies, managing cash flows, and providing meaningful information to enable leadership to make business- critical decisions. The industry was very competitive, and materials were in short supply and subject to significant price fluctuations, driven by external forces. Prasath was able to navigate this volatile environment by leading the finance team in providing efficient services to internal and external stakeholders and managing financial and non- financial resources in an optimal manner. He had a strong digital mindset and led multiple initiatives to make finance a "digital first" operation. For example, he introduced on-line real- time dashboards enabling business managers to track manufacturing efficiencies, sales volumes, profit margins, etc. Prasath was a very people- oriented person and always had time for his team. He had regular interactions with all of us, tracked our progress, and was very keen to see that we achieved our full potential. In addition to his financial skills and digital mindset, he displayed strong business transformation skills, and was able to convince shareholders to invest in cutting-edge technology and business capabilities so that the business could leap frog the competition to grow market share and profit margins. I really enjoyed working with Prasath and hope he will continue his journey towards more senior leadership roles. "

I had the privilege of working with Prasath during my time at DENSO, and I can confidently say he is a visionary leader with a passion for driving meaningful change, achieving success, and enhancing team performance. Prasath’s leadership shone brightly in several key projects where we collaborated. He played a pivotal role in transforming the organisation by reimagining processes, systems, and approaches, always thinking outside the box to deliver innovative solutions. His ability to inspire and guide the team toward shared goals was nothing short of remarkable. Prasath’s forward-thinking mindset and unwavering commitment to excellence make him an exceptional leader and a fantastic asset to any business. Any organisation would be fortunate to have him at the helm, fostering growth and success.
