Simple Money Moves

"Accountability is the glue that ties commitment to the result." – Bob Proctor

Ready to Get to Grips With Your Business Finances?

If you’re a dynamic small studio owner or creative business owner looking for simple, effective accountability and guidance to keep your finances on track, this program is for you.

If you want to know how to Make, Spend & Keep more money to Grow your business, you need to find a simple way to measure and understand it.

I understand the demands of running a creative business, and how easy it is to get bogged down with the numbers. That’s why I’ve created a streamlined, email-based accountability & business coaching service to help you stay on top of your money without adding overwhelm.

Here’s What You Get:

1. Monthly Money Moves Checklist

It can be just as simple as you submitting a straightforward, one-page PDF tracker. This will give you a clear snapshot of your profit, bank balances, who owes you what (receivables) and who you owe (payables), at a glance and at your fingertips. Or we can go deeper if you give us access to your bookkeeping software to give a more in-depth analysis.

2. Personalized Email with Actionable Insights in Plain English and at a Glance Visual Trends Based on Your Figures

Submit your completed checklist once a month, or we can review your software, your choice. We’ll review your figures and give you quick, actionable insights in plain English on what’s working, what could be improved, and how you can optimize your financial management. You’ll get clear advice with every submission. Optionally, we can even help you plan (forecast) and compare your actual performance with your plan.

3. Private Communication Platform where all our 1 to 1 communication records, templates, files and videos will be kept for your future reference.

Example Insights You Can Expect:

• Revenue & Expenditure Patterns: "It looks like your income was steady, but there was a significant increase in spending last month. This might be worth investigating further to see if it’s affecting your profit margins."
• Profitability Snapshot: "Based on your revenue and expenses, it seems you might be operating at a slim profit margin of x% this month. Let’s look at ways to cut costs or boost sales."
• Actionable Steps: "Marketing expenses are high but bringing in fewer sales. Have you considered reallocating some of that budget to increase your social media presence? A targeted campaign might improve results."
• Cost-Cutting Opportunities: "You’ve spent quite a bit on software this month. Could you consolidate some tools or negotiate better pricing with your providers?"
• Revenue Growth Ideas: "It seems you’ve had a stable number of clients but not many repeat purchases. A loyalty program or special offers might encourage repeat business."
• Personalized Forecasting: "Based on last month’s numbers, you could aim for a 10% increase in sales by focusing on X. Let’s see if we can make that happen and let's compare your forecast against your actuals."
• Personal Goals: "One of your personal goals is to reduce work hours without sacrificing income. Based on your business insights, we could focus on increasing high-margin services or automating lower-value tasks to free up your time while maintaining profitability."

Our insights will help you stay on track with your goals, take action quickly, and start seeing the results you’ve been striving for.

Her specialist knowledge and experience of working with businesses in the creative industries allowed her to quickly build confidence with the artists and designers. She delivered excellent 'Fearless Finance' workshops that were accessible to businesses at various stages of growth and engaged participants through visual mapping. She worked with businesses on a 121 basis and received consistently good feedback.

Ally is great person to work with and her financial skills and knowledge has helped BDC develop its financial management arrangements from financial planning, monitoring and projecting through to the statement of accounts. She puts a lot of effort and time into assisting my office manage the income and expenditure accounts throughout the year giving solid quarterly advice, financial information and benchmarking for key performance factors that we agree which is invaluable in successfully running my business and projecting to the end of year statement of accounts.

—Byron Davies OBE, Managing Director BDConsulting (UK)  

'I met Ally in the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship Caribbean training program for Jamaican Entrepreneurs. Going into the program, I had a basic knowledge of accounting. I wasn't confident in reading financial reports, and what reports were most beneficial in monitoring cash flow, "real profit," cost savings or waste.

I wanted a financial mentor since financial planning was a valuable skill necessary to scale and grow my business, but I was not prepared for the impact Ally would have on my business and my mindset. Each week we would meet for advisory sessions, where I would outline strategies and prospects for revenue, and Ally would give advice. She stressed the importance of planning and understanding the actual cost associated with my services.

Ally emphasized measuring the financial health of my business by tracking my cash flow using agile reporting templates. She coached me with demonstration and practice to understand budgeting and forecasting, that cash is king, and that there are distinct differences between sales, profits, and cash, in how they affect business growth. I no longer feel like a rookie in financial planning due to Ally's mentorship. 

I am more enthusiastic about reading my financials monthly because now it makes better sense for the growth of my company, and I now have better financial goals in mind. I use my accounting system differently now; ensuring accurate data input provides me with the correct reports and balances synced with my bank.

Thanks to Ally, I can confidently use financial terms, whether basic accounting or top-level economic language when speaking with financial institutions. Ally gave me more than just financial mentorship; she gave me financial confidence and better business health''.

Every business needs an "Ally"
