A business automation consultant reviews how a company actually runs — across sales, finance and operations — and automates the manual work that costs the most time or causes the most errors. We're independent and tool-agnostic, with no software to resell. Fixed-fee engagements, typically £15K-£50K, starting with a free audit and a payback usually inside 3-9 months.
What a business automation consultant does
A business automation consultant takes a whole-company view. Rather than automating one team's task in isolation, we map how work flows between sales, finance and operations — and target the hand-offs where data gets re-keyed, approvals stall, and errors creep in.
The goal is never "more automation". It's fewer hours lost, fewer mistakes, and numbers you can see.
Where we typically find the ROI
- Sales-to-finance hand-off — quotes, orders and invoices that get re-typed between CRM and accounting
- Operations reporting — manual spreadsheets rebuilt every week that could update themselves
- Onboarding & approvals — multi-step processes that wait on someone to forward an email
- Customer comms — status updates and chasers sent by hand
Independent and tool-agnostic — on purpose
We don't resell software and we take no platform commissions. That matters: it means our recommendation is the one that's best for you, not the one that pays us. We'll happily tell you when the answer is "tidy your data first" or "you don't need this yet".
How an engagement works
- Free discovery call — 30 minutes to see if there's a fit.
- Paid audit (£3K-£6K) — process map, ranked opportunities, a costed plan.
- Build (£15K-£50K) — we implement, document and hand over.
- Optional retainer (£1-3K/month) — monitoring and iteration.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a business automation consultant and an agency?+
An agency typically sells build hours; a consultant starts by deciding what's worth building at all. We map and rank the opportunity before anyone touches a tool, so you don't pay to automate the wrong thing.
Do you work with our size of business?+
We focus on UK mid-market businesses — typically those with enough process volume and system sprawl that manual work is a real cost. The free audit tells us (and you) whether it's worth it.
How is pricing structured?+
Fixed-fee phases, not open-ended day rates: a £3K-£6K audit, a £15K-£50K build depending on scope, and an optional £1-3K/month retainer. Most engagements pay back within 3-9 months.
Are you independent of software vendors?+
Yes. We resell nothing and take no platform commissions, so our tool recommendations are based purely on fit.
