Spend your time on the work that actually grows the business.
As you grow, the admin quietly eats your week. I take the repetitive work, systems and data off your plate - so your hours go back to winning clients and the things only you can do.
How I help
Drowning in admin
Websites, apps and automation that take the repetitive work off you for good.
Systems slowing you down
Cleaner tools that run without babysitting, and numbers that show where the time and money actually go.
Ready to bring someone in
Process, software and training that stick as you add people - including a first hire who genuinely lightens the load.
A bit about me
I'm Carol, based in Shrewsbury and working with businesses right across the UK. I've spent the last eight years helping fast-growing tech companies do more with less: being the person brought in to make the most of limited time and money and turn it into growth, from a two-person startup up to products used around the world.
That's the same job smaller businesses need doing, in any industry - the fundamentals don't change. You don't have budget to waste or time for drawn-out projects, so I focus on the practical work that saves you hours or brings in more money - and I get it done. No bullsh*t, just results that fit the budget you've got.
Pricing
I fit the way we work to what you can spend rather than hand you a rate card - senior help exactly when you need it, without a salary on the books. If you'd rather start with a fixed price, start here.
A two-day health check
I dig into how your business actually runs - your systems, admin, numbers - and find where you're leaking time and money. Then I fix the biggest quick win on the spot, and hand you a prioritised plan for the rest.
- At least one real fix delivered before I leave - not just advice
- A clear picture of what admin and messy systems are costing you
- A prioritised plan for the rest, yours to run with or without me
- Delivered within a week of getting access
Everything else is priced to suit the job:
By the hour or day
Good for small or ad-hoc jobs. You only pay for the time you use.
Fixed-price project
An agreed scope with the price settled upfront, so you know exactly what you're spending.
Weekly retainer
A set number of hours each week for ongoing support, at a rate that suits you.
Recent work
Saved the 19% of revenue that was going to Airbnb
Built a website with its own booking app so guests book direct - cutting out the 19% lost to platform fees on every stay, plus lower hosting costs. That money now stays with the owner.
View the site →Gave the director a day a week back
Put the operations and software in place and mentored the first hire - saving Lucinda around a day a week, getting the new employee productive fast, and freeing her to work on the business instead of in it.
View LMID →Freed up a week a month of the MD's time
Migrated their data and automated a slow, error-prone manual process - giving the managing director back about a week every month, and surfacing the numbers they now use to make revenue decisions.

I don't know where to invest my time or money to grow. Where do I start?
This is the most common thing people come to me with, and it's why the two-day health check exists. I look at how your business actually runs and where the money and hours are going, then come back with a costed, prioritised list. You get facts to decide on instead of a hunch.
Where are you based, and do you work remotely?
I'm based in Shrewsbury and work with businesses across the UK. Most of the work is done remotely, which keeps costs down for you, and I'm happy to visit in person for the health check or when it's genuinely more useful to be in the room.
How much does it cost?
The health check is a fixed £995. Everything else is by the hour or day, as a fixed-price project, or on a weekly retainer - tell me your budget and I'll be straight with you about what's realistic.
