Advisory · Business advisory
A finance unit that runs the business, not just records it.
Company setup and advisory for start-ups and established businesses. HPS works alongside your finance unit to find the problems, design the fixes and embed them, then writes the reports that let management see.

How we think about it
Advice that sits in a slide deck changes nothing. HPS works inside the finance unit with the people who will run the solution, and leaves when they can.
What is included
The work, itemised.
Scope is agreed in writing before any engagement starts. These are the services HPS currently offers under this practice, as published by HPS.
- 01Company setup and start-up advisoryStructure, registrations, accounting policies, chart of accounts and the first controls, so a new business starts with books that can be trusted.
- 02Finance-unit diagnostics and solutionsWorking with your finance team to identify where processes, people or systems are failing, and proposing solutions that fit the organisation.
- 03Financial, management and performance reportsMonthly packs, board reports and performance dashboards built from your own data, with definitions your managers agree on.
- 04Business plans for start-ups and SMEsPlans with financial projections that a bank, investor or board can interrogate, written with the owner, not for them.
Who it is for
- Founders setting up a company and its first finance function
- SMEs whose books lag the business
- Finance managers who need a diagnosis before a fix
- Boards that want management reporting they can rely on
