Hands-on support and strategic finance for Irish SMEs.

Whether you’re just starting out or scaling up, I help businesses to plan and make smarter decisions, adopt the right digital tools, and tap into the supports available – like funding, Lean, Digital Start, and mentoring. No jargon. Just real progress.

What I do?

Support across every stage of your business journey.

With 25 years’ experience working inside SMEs – finance, systems, and commercial roles – I’ve walked the walk. I support other SMEs from pre-startup to scale-up with hands-on strategy, financial clarity, and deep knowledge of government and industry supports to help you move forward with confidence.

Strategic Finance & Fractional CFO

Ongoing, practical financial support for growing businesses. I help you access funding, plan, forecast, and make decisions with real commercial clarity – no fluff, no faffing.

Lean, Digital Start & Other Supports

I help you get the most out of Local Enterprise Office and Enterprise Ireland programmes like Lean, Digital Start, and Feasibility Grants – from application through to delivery, with a strong track record of results.

The Momentum Map

My signature model for getting unstuck and moving forward. A simple framework to help you understand where you are, where you’re going, and how to get there.

Mentoring & Growth Planning

Honest advice, fresh perspective, and accountability to help you make better decisions and keep moving forward – no matter what stage you’re at.

The Momentum Map

Clarity. Focus. Momentum.

The Momentum Map is my own framework for helping SMEs move forward with purpose. Whether you’re stuck, scaling, or just unsure where to focus, the Map gives you a clear view of where your business is at – and what it needs next.

I’ve used it with dozens of founders, and it’s now becoming the foundation of how I work. (Watch this space – it’s growing legs of its own.)

Work With Me

Practical support for real businesses -
grounded in experience and focused on results.

For Business Owners

I work directly with business owners who want more than generic advice. That might mean help with funding applications, building proper management reporting, understanding cashflow, or getting a handle on strategy.

Whether you’re applying for supports or just trying to get clarity on the numbers, I bring hands-on support – with the finance, systems, and commercial know-how to back it up.

For Support Programmes

I’ve delivered Lean, Digital Start, mentoring and more through LEOs, Enterprise Ireland, Mentorswork and more. I know what these programmes are designed to do – and I make sure clients actually get the value from them.

From setting realistic goals to reporting on impact, I help clients stay on track and make the most of the support.

My approach is simple:  be easy to work with, and do what you say you’ll do. I believe in clear communication, sticking to deadlines, and making things straightforward for clients and programme teams alike.

On-demand financial solutions

Better than an accounting firm

I help ambitious businesses who need the skills of an experienced, savvy financial controller on a part-time or ad-hoc basis. You know there are savings to be made and systems that could be improved …but you don’t have the time. Maybe your business just does not justify a full-time financial controller yet.

Accounting firms don't offer the breadth of experience that I can bring to producing financials, particularly around integrating accounts with other departments and creating systems that are efficient and allow businesses to scale more easily. I’ve “walked the walk” for over 20 years.
