Familiar with how your sector actually works

The obligations are similar across sectors. What differs is the pressure points — and knowing those is what makes advice useful.

Overview

Six sectors we work with most

We are not a specialist in one vertical, and we would be suspicious of a corporate services firm that claimed to be. Company law does not change by sector.

What does change is where the strain falls — VAT across territories for an online retailer, partner changes for a professional firm, payroll growth for an agency. These are the sectors we see most, and the problems we see in each.

What they share

The same four problems, in different clothes

A bright, empty hall in a modern office building
01

Growth outpacing admin

The finance and compliance function is the last thing to scale, and the first thing to break.

02

Obligations nobody mapped

Businesses rarely know the full list of what they must file until something is late.

03

Too many suppliers

A formation agent, a secretary, a bookkeeper and an accountant who never speak to each other.

04

Decisions without numbers

Hiring, pricing and expansion stall when the management information is months out of date.
