Why we do, What we do

---

The Advisory Effect, is exactly what it's called. 

We tailor our services to meet the needs of the business we're looking to advise. All Business' are different, they operate completely different to each other, although they all have the same thing in common - they're making and managing money. 

How each business does that, will be completely different. Whether its a sole trader operating just as a one man band, or a micro pushing to grow with 10 employees, or an SME with 40 employees, or a super large corporate with 1000+ employees. They're all making and managing money, in their own way.

The sad and interesting facts are, that 60% of sole traders fail to survive the first 5 years! That's one in every 5 sole traders, who had a fantastic idea, a vision to conquer the world, then for whatever reason, hung up their boots and then likely went back to employment. 

Which using those figures in a different way, in 2023 there were 3.1 million sole traders in the UK. Meaning 1,860,000 of those are likely to fail in the first 5 years of business. 

That's 1.8m people's dreams shattered. 

And that's exactly why The Advisory Effect was started, there is no difference to doing business at Corporate Level vs Sole trader level, granted there are more zero's, the teams are bigger, there's more compliance. 

The main difference between the two, is the way Finance is perceived. Corporate Business' are reviewing their results monthly, managing their cash forecast daily. Which for a sole trader, would be lovely to do but you're a one man band. The only one making the money. So time away from doing what you're an expert in, that's also costing you money, and that's exactly where we can come in. 

We can provide you with the Finance details and data you require, in order to grow. Accounting is far more just being the Statutory compliance, when you have visibility frequently of the business performance, you can tailor the direction easily, ensuring the right path is continually being followed. 

You can stop working 48 hour days, operating on barely any sleep, juggling the tasks of 10 employees, working constantly just to make ends meet. By having the information available, decisions can be made more clearly, quickly. Giving you peace of mind, the decision was the right one for you and the business' future. 

Transforming the way you operate your business, is fundamental to grow.
