For SMBs & Startups:
The 4-Week "Chaos to Clarity" Sprint
The Elephant in the Room:
Running your own business isn’t easy. You started with something you love, but soon found yourself drowning in tasks you’re not good at, on top of the things you started for.It’s lonely - no one else around you cares about your business even a fraction as much as you do.
And it’s exhausting - every day brings decisions that pile up until you’re forced to make them under stress.Why Most Businesses Stall:
Most businesses don’t fail because the idea is bad. They stall when cash runs out, costs spiral, or the founder doesn’t have the bandwidth to map a clear growth path.What to Expect - Chaos to Clarity in 4 Weeks:
In just 4 weeks, we help you cut through the noise: clarity on revenue, control of costs, confidence in cashflow, and a growth path that builds exit value.No group calls. No pre-recorded fluff.

SMB - Case Study #1
Cashflow Clarity for Confident Decisions
A boutique marketing agency (~$4m revenue) had lumpy income. The owner was passionate about sales, but second-guessing whether he could afford a US expansion was draining weeks of decision time. His accountant was barely keeping up with the numbers.
• Week 1-2 (Revenue & Costs): Broke down revenue streams and categorised spend. • Week 3 (Cashflow): Built a weekly cashflow forecast and stress-tested “what if” scenarios (slower sales, late collection, surprise fees, etc.). • Week 4 (Growth Path): Ran a live session to test expansion strategies in real time.Because he came prepared and committed time, we accelerated the sprint and delivered everything in under 2 weeks.
“Probably fine” became “definitely fine.” He made the expansion decision quickly and confidently, cashflow stayed under control, and growth moved ahead without hesitation.
The 4-week sprint doesn’t just avoid crunches - it gives founders the confidence to make big calls without wasting weeks stuck in doubt.
SMB - Case Study #2
Cutting Costs Without Cutting Growth
A growing services business kept seeing revenue rise but profits shrink. The owner was frustrated: “Why are we busier than ever but not making more money?” They had no clear view of which expenses drove sales and which were dead weight.
• Weeks 1-2 (Revenue & Costs): Split all spending into clear buckets (fixed, variable, committed, discretionary). - For marketing, analysed ROI of each campaign - cut the underperformers, doubled down on winners. - For non-marketing, went line by line to separate “must-haves” from “nice-to-haves” and right-size costs. • Week 3 (Cashflow): Rebuilt their cashflow model so the owner could see, week by week, how changes impacted margins. • Week 4 (Growth Path): Reinvested freed-up cash into growth initiatives with the highest ROI.
Operating expenses dropped ~25% without touching growth drivers. Margins improved, the owner finally had visibility into every spend, and cash was freed up to reinvest in what mattered most.
Cost discipline isn’t about starving a business - it’s about clarity. When every spend has a purpose, you protect growth while cutting the waste.
SMB - Case Study #3
Law Firm Partner Unstuck
A generalist local law firm tried to do it all - corporate, family law, wills, conveyancing, migration. The managing partner was the brand and the firm’s biggest biller. With no time to zoom out, strategy and systems always took a backseat.And it’s understandable: when billable hours bring in revenue right away, it feels counterintuitive to spend time on non-billable work like strategy, service mix, or processes. But without that, burnout was inevitable.
• Weeks 1-2 (Revenue & Costs): Mapped all service lines by profitability, demand, and effort - revealing which services to double down on and which were distractions or underpriced. • Week 3 (Cashflow): Built a simple partner dashboard to track revenue mix, margins, and utilisation - replacing gut feel with visibility. • Week 4 (Growth Path): Designed processes so key decisions no longer relied solely on the partner, and reallocated staff responsibilities to free up his time.
The partner finally had visibility into which services made real money, which drained capacity, and which employee is under-utilised. With clarity, he reduced hours in low-value matters, delegated and reshaped staff responsibilities, and freed up headspace to run the firm like a business.Now we continue supporting him via our monthly retainer - deep-diving into the client base, implementing a CRM, and developing upselling offers to existing clients - building on trust the firm has already earned.
Professional firms often stall because senior partners are trapped in billables. By treating the practice like a business - tracking profitability and systemising decisions - growth becomes sustainable without burning out the owner.

For Corporates & PE-Backed Ventures:
From Stalled Ideas to Delivered Projects
The Paradox:
Executives already know what needs to be done and the levers to deliver stretched results - portfolio optimisation, cleanups, margin analysis, cost resets, route-to-market efficiencies, working capital unlocks. But the reality is, those projects almost always stall internally.The Obvious Why:
Teams are already firefighting BAU. Incentives don’t reward “extra” work. Your teams are measured and rewarded on delivering BAU, not dedicated to tackling complex one-off projects outside their remit.It’s natural that those blue-sky initiatives all executives agrees should get done in the boardroom slip down the priority list due to resource constraints.That’s where we come in. Break Past steps in as your external partner to do the crucial work your team doesn’t have bandwidth for. We do the heavy lift, hand it back as a BAU system or process, and provide light-touch support to keep it humming.What to Expect:
Things get done without adding headcount, overhead, or squeezing 200% out of a team already working at 150% capacity.
People & Structure
Strategic Transformation
We deliver projects that reshape organisations but move slowly internally - restructuring roles, relocations, downsizing, headcount resets. We do the heavy lift and hand it back as BAU.
Process & Operations
Operational Efficiency
We streamline processes, automate reporting, capture knowledge, and upskill offshore teams so operations scale without breaking.
Financials & Growth
Growth Potential
We tackle the on-hold projects your team can’t get to - pricing scenarios, portfolio reviews, COGS deep dives, cash unlocks, cost resets, 5-year roadmaps - then hand them back as BAU tools your team can run, backed by our insights.
From stalled projects and legacy pain points to finished BAU - see how we’ve done it.
Corporate - Case Study #1
Structural Misalignment Between HR & Finance
Reward was everyone’s responsibility and no one’s. HR assumed Finance owned it (because it's "money"), Finance assumed HR did (because it's "people").Both views were valid, but the result was frustration at the board level: weak budgeting, missed targets, and no clear ownership. They wanted to increase salaries in line with inflation while reducing overall costs - but without visibility into the true employment cost, no scenario planning was possible.
• Mapped headcounts against org charts.
• Consolidated inputs from HR (headcount, job grades, reward structure).
• Modelled the total employment cost into a single source of truth.
• Built scenario models to test salary increases vs. cost targets.
For the first time, the business had a unified, accurate view of total employment cost. The board gained clarity on risks, levers, and trade-offs - and had the confidence to make strategic workforce decisions.
When ownership of a critical function is blurred, frustration drags on for months. Sometimes the fastest fix is bringing in an external partner who can cut through silos and deliver clarity in a week.
Corporate - Case Study #2
From Variance Tables to Investor-Grade Insights
A PE-backed venture’s Finance team was strong on compliance reporting but weak on board-level insights. Monthly packs were little more than P&L tables with a few charts - backward-looking, passive, and offering no clarity on why results moved or what levers could close the gap to plan.For the PE board, this created frustration and limited confidence in both the numbers and the leadership team.
• Introduced investor-grade reporting packs.
• Broke EBITDA variances into clear drivers (volume, price, mix, cost).
• Quantified both positive and negative levers still to play out in future months.
• Framed gap-closure opportunities when run rates stalled.
• Trained and upskilled the Finance team to present proactive insights, not just compliance tables.
The board gained forward-looking visibility into performance drivers, risks, and buffers. Confidence in management increased as Finance shifted from “reporting the past” to actively guiding the future.
PE investors don’t just want monthly numbers. They want a clear, credible story: what’s driving results, what’s at risk, and what management is doing about it. Upskilling Finance teams to deliver this shifts them from compliance checkers to strategic partners.
Unlock the strategic projects stuck on slides and turn them into delivered results.
