Discovery call, no pressure

You started this business to build something. Not to be buried in it.

Most owners at your level are running on instinct and momentum.

But there is a ceiling you cannot break through by working harder.

  • You and your partners each understand parts of the business but nobody is orchestrating the whole.

  • You are in the business every day but cannot find consistent time to work on it.

  • Revenue is up but the systems, culture and governance have not kept pace.

  • You know something needs to change. You are just not sure where to start.

What business Owners say after working with us.

Real NZ business owners. Real Outcomes

  • EmerTech

    I recently worked with Chris on a business intelligence / AI advisor system and his knowledge of all things business is incredible. Highly recommended for anyone that wants to improve any aspect of their business - this guy knows his stuff!

  • Garage Gurus

    Chris has been a huge help over the past year, working with me to refine my business plan and stay on track. He brings solid insight across everything from financials to marketing, and has a real talent for taking all my big (and sometimes messy) ideas and turning them into clear, focused actions.

  • Roofing Hub

    Chris saw us through a massive growth and development stage of our business, dissected every individual area, resulting in a successful award winning business. He is a business mentor, personal developer and counsellor when the workplace gets heated! Always calm and asking the correct questions, I can highly recommend Chris.

  • Botanic Press

    I highly recommend Chris, it was the best investment for my business to date. Chris gave my business clarity and a clear direction going forwards. What I've learned from Chris is now enabling me to successfully grow my business. Thank you so much Chris!

  • The Camp

    Working with Chris we have been able to get clarity around what is important, deconstructed complexity and built a framework for implementing our strategic business plan. He keeps us honest to the tasks and commitments we set ourselves while diligently preparing work in the background to keep forward momentum.

  • Ode

    From busy weathering “the Covid-19 storm” and trying to steer a boat with a rudder that wasn’t working properly - made for tough work. With Chris on board and his ability to listen intently and form a solid plan and approach he has got us back on course to push through.

  • Hawea Store & Kitchen

    Chris' business acumen, and accounting and finance background was absolutely essential to our organisation performance (particularly at this early stage of ownership) and for our ability to reach the goals we had in mind.

  • The Village Gift

    I have come out of our time together with a clear plan of how to move forwards and I am excited to see how this year will progress now I have the focus and motivation I lacked previously. For anyone looking for clarity on how to elevate their business I cannot recommend Chris' services enough.

  • Interlink Ltd

    Chris conveys his years of business skills and experience with clarity and logic that allows me to easily adapt and apply to my business needs.
