The challenge
To develop a plan for business growth and release the 2 partners from working in the business to working on the business.

We reviewed all aspects of our business from the types of clients we work with, cash flow management, KPI's, marketing and our roles and responsibilities. We developed a clear and focused plan for growth, which changed our view of the business and gave us renewed inspiration.
