Pelorus

Strategy, finance & AI for ambitious SMEs

A clear commitment,
a heading on the decisions that matter.

Strategy

The decisions that commit the most are often made with the least perspective.

Entering a market, pivoting, launching a line, reorganising: these calls mobilise your energy and cash for months. We bring a rigorous internal and external read, surfacing your levers and blind spots. Then a prioritised action plan. To decide fast, and right.

Finance

Over 70% of SME failures come from a mismanaged cash position, not from loss-making accounts.

Your accountant keeps the books; they do not steer your course. We build your financial models (cash plan, business plan, valuation): auditable, parameterised, transferable to your teams. To pilot your cash and your scenarios, rather than endure them.

Explore the Finance pillar

AI & Automation

A third of your time goes to tasks that add no value.

Invoicing, follow-ups, emails, reporting: hours taken away from what actually moves your business forward. We deploy AI agents plugged into your existing tools, taking over these repetitive tasks. No friction, no hiring. Focus on growth, we handle the rest.

Our method

A clear, four-step method.

Structured, fast, jargon-free. We support and challenge you, from scoping to decision.

  1. Scoping

    Free first call. We ask, we listen, and we tell you straight whether we are the right partner for you.

  2. Diagnosis

    Data collection, rigorous analysis, model build. No shortcuts, every assumption documented.

  3. Deliverables

    Usage notes for your team, quantified scenarios, sourced conclusions. Actionable, outcome-oriented deliverables.

  4. Follow-up

    You never face the important decisions alone. Post-delivery exchanges to refine.
