The Finance Detectives method
Small leaks sink big companies. We find them, fix them and keep them fixed, with a qualified CA and ACCA team and modern tools.
Three steps, no jargon
How a case works
1. Free Leak Check
A 20-minute online call, wherever you are. You tell us where money feels tight; we ask about your books, tax and cash.
2. We find the leaks
We send a clear summary of where your money slips away and what it's likely costing you, with a written proposal and fixed fee to fix it.
3. We fix them
We put your books, filings and structure right, then keep them right every month so the leaks don't come back.
The usual suspects
Five leaks quietly draining business profit
Recognise one? Most businesses have at least two.
Cash sales, no receipts
Income you can't prove. Profit you can't see.
How we fix itWe set up simple receipting and a daily cash record, and reconcile it every month.
Late filing penalties
Fines for paperwork that was always due.
How we fix itEvery deadline goes on a shared calendar, and your books are ready weeks before it.
VAT / GST never claimed back
Tax you paid on costs, left on the table.
How we fix itWe review your purchases and claim the input tax you're entitled to, including past periods where the rules allow.
Family costs on the business
Personal spending hiding in company accounts.
How we fix itWe separate personal and business spending, so your profit and your tax are what they should be.
“Payment next week”
Customers using your cash as their loan.
How we fix itWe track who owes you what, send you a weekly list, and set up reminders that get you paid.
