You see the marginat year-end. The moneyleft months earlier.

Everyone knows where it leaks. Nothing happens.

How I work

Three steps, in that order. Most companies start and stop at the first one, which is entirely fine.

1. 1

   Margin diagnostic

   I go through pricing, estimates, purchasing and project economics. You get a prioritised list of leaks – valued in kronor, not adjectives – and an assessment of what can be fixed straight away.

   Fixed fee from 75,000 SEK · 2–4 weeks

2. 2

   Systems build

   I build the tools that stop the leaks: pricing engines, project tracking, liquidity forecasting, reporting. Built around how you actually work, rather than how an off-the-shelf system would like you to work.

   Fixed fee per delivery · in production within weeks

3. 3

   Embedded partner

   An ongoing role as combined controller and systems owner – for companies too small for a finance function of their own, but too big to run on gut feel.

   Ongoing · monthly fee · no lock-in

Numbers that survive an audit

I only publish results that hold up line by line, and I keep what was delivered separate from what was merely identified. Two industries so far – telecom and demolition. Same method.

• DeliveredBottom-line improvements within existing agreements, as business controller at a growth-stage telecom6+ MSEK
• DeliveredEstimation and project platform for a demolition group (~15 subsidiaries). Handled 20 MSEK of projects within weeks. The group acquired the platform outright.2–3 % margin lift
• IdentifiedRecurring revenue leakage, documented and handed over for recovery1–2 MSEK / yr

If it doesn't show up on the P&L, it doesn't count.

What it costs

The price is set before we start and does not change. No running tab, no open-ended final invoice, no argument about hours after the fact.

Systems builds and the ongoing role are quoted separately, always at a fixed fee per delivery.

What you are probably wondering

We already have a finance lead.

Good – they are usually the one who gains most from this. A finance lead generally knows where the problems sit but has neither the time nor the tooling to build them away. I build the thing that would otherwise sit waiting in the IT queue.

What happens to the system once you are done?

It stays in production. Handover and documentation are part of the delivery, and in one case the client took the platform over entirely and now runs it themselves.

Isn't it a risk that everything depends on one person?

It is, and that is the trade: nothing lost in the handover, no junior learning on your time – but one person. It is also why the way in is two to four weeks at a fixed fee rather than an annual contract.

You don't know our industry.

Two industries so far, same method. The leaks sit in pricing, estimating, purchasing and project follow-up, and those work the same way regardless of what you build or sell. The industry knowledge is already in the building.

We hired consultants before. We got a report.

That is the entire reason this exists. The diagnostic is priced as a product precisely so it cannot drift, and the next step is that I build – not that I recommend someone else does.
