PE partners and boards don't lose sleep over spreadsheets.
They lose sleep over decisions made on numbers they cannot trust.
Manual reporting and fragmented data don't just slow you down; they directly impact valuations, delay exits, and erode investor confidence.

𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗜 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛
I partner with CFOs and Heads of FP&A at PE-backed companies to global enterprises who need robust financial processes that meet institutional investor standards, delivered within strict transformation timelines. 

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥
20+ years in strategic finance at GE Healthcare, Vodafone, Nielsen, and Unilever taught me what world-class FP&A looks like. Now I build it for others.
My team implements automated board reporting (PowerBI & Aimplan) and connected planning solutions (Vena, Prophix & Anaplan) that deliver:
• Real-time executive dashboards and investor-ready reporting
• Automated board pack generation that frees your team for strategic analysis
• Scenario modelling that supports investment decisions and exit planning
• Audit-ready forecasting processes that scale with rapid growth

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦
Your investors and senior leadership expect institutional-quality financial reporting. Your growth timeline demands agile forecasting. Your strategy requires bulletproof numbers.

Pick My Neurodiverse Brain

Pick My Neurodiverse Brain is an innovative project with a clear objective: to promote awareness and inclusivity of individuals with neurodiversity. We believe that by connecting people based on their unique neurological makeup, we can foster greater understanding, appreciation, and acceptance of neurodiversity.

To achieve this goal, we offer a comprehensive range of resources, including an orientation course, toolkit, and global events, as well as training, workshops, and consultancy services on the topic of neurodiversity. Our project is designed to inspire and support a broad range of individuals and organizations, including education professionals, HR professionals, parents of neurodivergent children, job coach organizations, and governments.

“Neurodiversity” is a word used to explain the unique ways people's brains work. While everyone's brain develops similarly, no two brains function just alike. Being neurodivergent means having a brain that works differently from the average or “neurotypical” person.

We help agency owners increase their revenue and get more clients. How? By optimizing your current client acquisition systems, introducing new ones, and setting up your operations for growth.

We absolutely love what we do and have helped over 325 business owners (and counting) grow their businesses. Oh, and we work on a no-cure, no-pay basis – meaning if you don’t increase your revenue by 30% after working with us, we don’t get paid. Yep, we’re putting our money where our mouth is.

But hey, don’t just take our word for it. Here’s a sneak peek at some of our client results:

- Béatrice Boots increased her revenue by 333% within 12 months
- Heather A. Kollar increased her revenue by 100% within 6 weeks
- Dan Lucarelli grew his revenue and expanded his team
- Eline Landgraaf doubled her revenue within 3 months
- Miguel Machado boosted revenue and expanded globally
- Ingrid Bijlmakers saw a 60% increase in 6 months
- Ed van Eijk shot up his revenue by 247% in just 1 month

And yes, there's way more where that came from. But this isn’t a novel 😉

In short, if you're an agency owner, we help you – guaranteed – to increase your revenue by 30% within 6 months. If we don’t deliver, we don’t get paid.

You might be thinking, “Yeah, right…” feeling a little skeptical (which we totally get).

But if just the tiniest spark in you says, “That sounds pretty good, I could get behind that,” then let’s talk! There’s literally no risk. Just copy and paste this link into your browser and book a call:

Oh, and just so you know – this is a no-pressure demo call where we walk you through exactly how we can help you get more clients and make more money. You’ll walk away with real insights, whether we work together or not.

So, are you in?
