One deep look at your business, and where the money is going
A one-off, fixed-price review of your whole finance and operations picture. We find the leaks, the missed savings and the risks, then hand you a clear plan. It’s the easiest way to see the value of a proper FD before committing to anything ongoing.
Fixed price from £1,295 +VAT. Contact introductions are free either way.
Finance is usually the last thing you wanted to deal with
When you start out, you’re the warehouse, the marketing team, customer service and the finance department all at once. Finance is usually the one you like least, and it shows.
So things get overlooked, or done wrong. It is also one of the last jobs founders hand over, and by the time you do, it is often too messy for a junior hire to untangle. So it rumbles on. The accounts say you are profitable, you never seem to have any cash, and nobody can tell you why.
Say you’re paying 10% too much on couriers. At setup that might be £10,000 a year, so £1,000 over. Annoying, but not the end of the world. Scale up to £40,000 a month, still 10% over (probably more, if nobody’s touched it), and that’s £4,000 a month.
An FD’s job is to continually monitor costs and make sure you’re on the best package and the right solution. The Deep Dive accelerates that, getting everything on the right path from day one, lining up all your costs and saving you thousands a year.

Statutory accounts & tax review
Has your accountant actually done a good job? We sense-check your last accounts and tax position for errors, missed reliefs and money left on the table.
Monthly reporting review
What have you got in place today, and is it telling you the truth? We look at how you see your numbers month to month, and where the gaps are.
Trend analysis
We track your key lines over time to surface the trends and the slow drift that never shows up in a single month.
Marketing review
A finance-eyed look at what your marketing is really returning, blended and by channel, so spend is judged on profit not just revenue.
Profitability & cashflow review
Are you actually making a profit, and are you keeping the cash? The two are not the same, and this is where a lot of brands get an uncomfortable surprise.
Stock & sales analysis
Identifying slow movers, dead stock and the right holding levels, so less of your cash is trapped on shelves.
KPI benchmarking & cost savings
We benchmark your costs and KPIs against similar e-commerce brands, then pinpoint where you're overpaying and can claw money back.

Warm introductions to trusted couriers, lenders, software and advisers where they'll save you money or improve the service you get. These are free, whether you work with us further or not.
Accounting errors & issues

Over £10,000 a year saved, on every Deep Dive we’ve done
We can’t promise results, and we won’t pretend to. But so far, every Deep Dive we’ve run has found more than £10,000 a year for the client, in tax, unclaimed expenses, cost savings and contact introductions, on businesses from around £500k turnover upwards. On one, we saved over £50,000 a year on shipping alone.
- Courier invoices billed above the agreed rate card, with surcharges applied twice
- A loan sat on old, expensive terms that could be refinanced far cheaper
- Unclaimed expenses and reliefs the year-end accounts had missed
- Return rates understated because refunds were counted on the wrong date
- Subscriptions and software nobody was using, still being paid every month
- Slow-moving stock quietly tying up a chunk of working capital

- Core Deep Dive Review, fixed price by turnover band
- Optional add-ons scoped to your specific pain points
- Contact introductions included free, whatever you decide
- The full written plan is yours to keep, with no commitment

Common questions
How much does a Deep Dive Review cost?
It's a fixed price based on your turnover, starting from £1,295 +VAT. Use the slider above to see the price for your band. Larger or more complex businesses are priced to scope.
How long does it take?
Most reviews are turned around quickly once we have access to your data. We'll agree a timeline with you up front so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I have to sign up to anything ongoing?
No. The Deep Dive is a standalone, one-off piece of work, and the plan you get is yours to keep. If you want to carry on with a monthly package afterwards, great, but there's no obligation.
What do you need from me?
Access to your accounting software, your store and, where relevant, your courier and supplier statements. We do the heavy lifting from there.
What if you don't find any savings?
We can't promise a specific result, but on every Deep Dive we've done so far we've found over £10,000 a year per client, on businesses from around £500k turnover upwards. The plan and the introductions have value on their own.
