THE MISSION
“At Powered by Numbers we’re hyper-focused on helping our clients achieve their financial goals.
For the purpose-driven founders we work with more money means more life.
Whether you’re just starting out on your journey, looking for fresh funding or determined to self-fund
we build the future together using our proven five-step approach.
We’ll ask you what you really care about in business and in life and what’s standing in your way.
And we’ll really listen.
Then we’ll work with you on ways to grow your margin, shorten your cash cycle and understand the metrics that will bring your goals within your reach.”
Helen Osagie FCA, BA (Hons)
Chief Financial Strategist
If you’re dealing with issues like these, we turn things around.
“The finance side of things still feels unpredictable”
“ Sales are coming in, so why am I still short on cash?”
“I’d love to build a bigger team but I’m worried about financially overstretching”
“I know the theory: “charge higher prices”, “act on your numbers”, “get cash in earlier” but how do I actually put that into practice?
We’re Chartered Accountants so we can help with management accounts, day to day bookeeping and filing your tax returns and accounts .
But our true focus will always be on helping you to build the future you want.
Profit and cashflow growth in your business makes room to build stronger teams and unlocks more flexibility and choice all round.

General Manager
We’re by your side, with financial clarity on repeat
This could mean we help you:
Straighten out your ledgers
Set up revenue, cost and balance sheet buckets that help you track, understand and predict the economics of your business
Track the metrics that matter
What matters is that you know what to do with the metrics that point you towards your vision.
These could include gross profit, net profit, debtor days, creditor days, cash burn, break even, ROI, cost of acquisition, customer lifetime value, return on marketing spend, staff utilisation and non financial metrics.
That’s a lot.
We’ll help you decide what to focus on and what to do with what we find.
Run regular financial reports so you can make decisions that drive you towards your vision
Balance sheet, P&L, Cashflow statement, budgets and what-if scenarios
Your every-week sounding board, with the experience to guide you towards the future you really want.
We’ll talk through the metrics that suggest there could be a problem and ask questions like:
What caused dips in profit?
How can we avoid or counteract these next month, next quarter, next year?
At your current spending rate, how long before your cash runs out?
What levers could you pull this month to grow your cash reserves?
Then we’ll decide on the best fixes and next steps together.
Fixes like:
Bundling and upselling your services instead of giving discounts
Negotiating better payment terms and prices with suppliers
On time billing and collection to improve your cashflow
Trimming specific expenses that aren’t pushing your business forward
