We’re the copilots for €5M+ businesses ready to scale.

99% of our clients have at least 2 of these problems:

1. "I'm tired of making all the difficult decisions alone. I need someone who sees what I'm missing."
2. "Everything's a mess right now. We're selling more but somehow making less money."
3. "By the time I see our numbers, they're ancient history. I'm flying blind here."
4. "The cash rollercoaster is killing me. I'm constantly wondering if we can cover next month."
5. "I'm stuck putting out fires all day. Can't remember the last time I thought about strategy."
6. "This business runs my life. I need it to work without me having to check every detail."
7. “We’re actually doing ok, but we want to grow and don’t know how.”

Here's how we turn things around:

1. Get your numbers right 
We set up proper financial tracking that makes sense to you, not just accountants. No more guessing.
