Francesca Spence Llb Aca is a Founder and Commercial Director at Still We Grow. She possess expertise in retail, financial analysis, accounting, finance, strategy and 36 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I approached Fran looking for some support with our pricing systems and look forward to working with her in the near future on other projects. Previously, we were using a spreadsheet with basic capabilities to price high value projects. Not only was this financially risky, it was inefficient to use, which impacted how quickly we could present quotes to clients. The basic layout also meant collecting financial data to inform future projects was difficult, and so often didn’t get done. Having never worked in the corporate world before, my knowledge of what was possible was very limited, but Fran responded positively to the issues we were facing and reassured me that what I wanted was possible, and took the time to explain how she would approach creating the solution. The final product not only takes into account our current status as a business, but also considers potential future growth and the calculations and data we may need as our business expands. I would happily recommend working with Fran to all businesses looking for a friendly, personable and highly-skilled commercial expert to help streamline and develop their financial processes and systems. Working with Fran was a pleasure, and our pricing processes are now simple, user-friendly and efficient, and have already made a tangible positive impact on our business within a few short weeks of use. " and "We engaged Fran in working with us to help refine our outline strategy and challenge our thinking across all aspects of our 3-year plan. Fran, at the outset, invested time to understand the business, what we do, where we have come from and our vision to get under the skin of our strategy. She also spent time introducing herself to our team when she visited our office which was a personal touch. Fran’s approach is structured but also tailored, she reviewed several strategy methodologies before recommending a specific schema that would work for Cernucci but also was easily communicable to stakeholders. Fran’s recommendation enabled us to gain real perspective on what was critical in our strategy and areas we needed to invest more time to define and understand. Fran summarised her recommendations and structure in a clear and concise document that we could utilise to refine our strategy, but also to help future drafts. I would highly recommend using Fran as an objective sounding board and subject matter expert in shaping a business strategy."
