What you can expect
1. Initial phone call
Once you are in touch, I will usually arrange a phone call of about 15 minutes. I’ll check what you need, and how I might help. I’ll then arrange a first meeting to look at the issues in more detail.
2. First free session
I offer a free first hour of support, in which you can discuss what you or your business needs. If possible, I will make a start on helping you directly with what you need. That way, we can see how we work together.
3. The work
Typically, I will meet with a client regularly by Zoom. Meetings can be once a week, once a month, or once a quarter, depending on need. In between sessions, I will work on anything that’s needed.
4. Outcomes and support
Frequently our work turns into a continuous relationship, in which you receive regular business support. The usual result is up-to-date books, filed accounts, and quick help for any issues arising.
