  At Orange Umbrella, I help small businesses unlock their potential. I focus on practical advice, strategic insights, and hands-on support. My goal is to empower business owners who don’t have in-house expertise in finance. I draw on over 20 years of experience, including a strong background in technology and data analysis. I combine this with insights from my books, The Science of Business and 10 Ideas to Save 10% in 10 Minutes. My key areas include:Strategic Planning & Business Growth: I work with businesses to create clear, actionable strategies. I use data-driven decision-making. I apply scientific principles to everyday challenges.Financial Management & Accountancy: I offer a wide range of services. From bookkeeping and cash flow analysis to tax planning and compliance. I help businesses stay financially strong and ready for the future.General Business Advice: I provide guidance on sales strategy and team management. These aren’t paid services, but I share best practices to help clients make better decisions in these areas.At Orange Umbrella, we are about people, not just numbers. In a world where many firms replace personal service with technology, we still believe in face-to-face and one-to-one advice. Our clients value the human touch. My role is to be a trusted adviser, helping clients face their biggest challenges. I make sure they stay resilient, efficient, and ready for new opportunities. I aim to make complex ideas simple and practical, so clients can focus on what they do best—running their businesses.
