Consultancy & turnaround — beyond care

We don't just fix care services. We fix businesses.

Underperforming, under pressure, or facing scrutiny? We come in, find the critical gaps, get you compliant, and get the business performing again. The same hands-on method that turns a care service around works for any owner-led or regulated business that's stalling.

Who we help

Owner-led and regulated businesses

If a person who cares is carrying the whole thing on their shoulders, we can lighten the load.

Owner-managed & family businesses

Founders who've outgrown the way they started and need structure to scale safely.

Regulated sectors

Health, social care, education, finance-adjacent and any business that answers to a regulator.

Professional services & SMEs

Firms that are busy but not profitable, or growing faster than their systems can cope.

Hospitality, manufacturing & charities

Operations under cost pressure that need a steadier hand and tighter control.

What we do

Find what's failing. Fix it. Make it last.

Senior, consultant-led delivery — priced for the seniority of the people doing the work. No junior associates, no offshore teams, no slide decks that gather dust.

Operational turnaround

A business losing money, losing grip or losing its way — we diagnose what's actually wrong and deliver a hands-on plan to turn it around.

Critical gap analysis

A clear-eyed review that surfaces the risks and gaps you can't see from the inside — before they cost you.

Regulatory compliance

Get and stay compliant in any regulated sector — without burying the business in paperwork or fear.

Finance & the FD function

Controls, reporting, cashflow and board packs — a finance function that makes the business run and stand up to scrutiny. Led by Dean Drake.

ERP & digital transformation

Systems that fit the business, implemented properly — UNIT4 Business World, Sage X3 and Acumatica, by a certified consultant.

ISO 9001 & 45001

Quality and health-&-safety management systems built to certification — done by people who hold both in their own business.

Governance & board advisory

The structure, reporting and discipline that make a company well-run, investable and ready for due diligence.

Interim leadership & mentoring

Senior cover when a key seat is empty, or steady mentoring for an owner or new leader who needs experienced hands.

Sale & investment readiness

Get a business clean, compliant and governed so it can sell or raise — or assess a target before you buy.

Why this combination is rare

The operations fixer and the finance brain — together

Most consultants do one half. We do both, and they don't hand you off to anyone else.

Vierka Hiscock — operations, compliance & turnaround

Award-winning managing director and Registered Manager, recognised for hands-on troubleshooting and reversing compliance failures across regulated organisations. She fixes how the business actually runs.

Dean Drake — finance, systems & governance

33 years in finance, ERP and business transformation across public and private sectors, certified in UNIT4, Sage X3 and Acumatica. He fixes the numbers, the controls and the systems.
