Strategic Projects & Finance Transformation
Support for the decisions you’ll look back on and pinpoint as the moment that changed everything!
This is the big-picture, roll-up-our-sleeves, make-it-happen work
What this is
When there's something specific to tackle, whether you’re going for a funding round, a bold pivot, restructuring so your operations actually match your mission, expanding into new markets or recovering after a setback. We can work on and implement a financial and strategic plan that lets you sleep at night and makes you impatient to get going in the morning.
Who's it for
For founders, boards, leadership teams, and change-makers who
- are standing at a crossroads and know the choice will ripple for years
- want their plan to feel as solid as it looks
- need to bring their whole team (and stakeholders) along for the ride
- value impact and integrity just as much as results
How it works
As part of the project, we’ll explore all of the “what ifs” and “how abouts”. We’ll model the scenarios, map the milestones, and dig into the numbers, building budgets, forecasts, business plans and cash projections that bring your goals to life.
And we’ll do all of it without ever forgetting that actual, real-life human beings will be operating them. That means factoring in energy, capacity, trust, burnout cycles, hyper-focus bursts, board politics, and even the full moon if it matters to you!
Pricing Guide:
Fees depend on the scope and specifics of the project. As a guide, something like a 12–24 month forecast and planning process starts at £3,500 + VAT. Larger or multi-year projects - like a full financial restructure, funding strategy, or finance transformation - will be more, and we'll scope that out together.
For project-based or ad-hoc work, my time-based rates are £200 + VAT per hour, £700 + VAT for a half day, or £1,100 + VAT for a full day.
Not-for-profits get 25% off. Book a call and we'll work out exactly what fits.

Where there’s currently uncertainty, imagine crystal-clear clarity
A roadmap you believe in (and actually want to use).
The risks, opportunities, and trade-offs, calculated and factored in.
Your next big move resourced — not just dreamt about.
The confidence to take action with room to flex as you go.

Why this is different
It’s not about being “big enough” — it’s about being important enough to get right
Whether you’re a start-up gearing up for your first raise, a non-profit setting a new three-year strategy with your board, or a £10m+ organisation exploring new directions, you need a strategy and execution that’ll get you to your next stage (and beyond).

We engaged with Harriet to supplement our statutory accountant services with FD Services. We had been struggling to resource these sort of services internally or with our existing accountant, and it was a breath of fresh air to be able to simply add it on, on a flexible basis.
Harriet helped to devise a creative legitimate solution to our revenue recognition problem, as well as help us with optimisation of our finance software. We implemented Transferwise with her help and also applied for 2 successful grants.
I'd recommend engaging with BTLF if you are a small business looking for extra support above and beyond simple Tax requirements, especially if you don't have an FD appointed in-house. Harriet is productive, collaborative and has really useful ideas.

When I set up my CIC, I knew one of my biggest knowledge gaps was around finance. After speaking with several accountants, it became clear that I didn't just want someone to file paperwork - I wanted to learn alongside someone. Speaking with Harriet confirmed that what I really needed was a partner: someone who understood CICs and social enterprises.
The biggest shift has been in my confidence. Having regular catch-ups with Harriet - and knowing she's always on hand for any questions has made me feel so much more grounded and supported. My CIC has gone from feeling financially uncertain to becoming much more stable and resilient.
Harriet's patience - especially with my occasional panic around money - has made a huge difference. She's incredibly generous with her time and makes things clear and easy to understand. It's rare to find someone who combines technical skill with such a supportive, relational approach.

Before working with Harriet, we wanted to remove the mystery around our finances and be clear where we were at and map out a forecast for the future and change our company structure.
Since working with Harriet, I became Co-Director! We split shares in the company and agreed on a memorandum of understanding for all eventualities. We now have a clear financial plan, and know how much money we need to bring in and by when. We have payroll and dividends worked out and have hit our targets.
What stands out about working with Harriet is that she doesn't use jargon or speak from a script - there's no gatekeeping. She explains things in an accessible way and has a can-do attitude, so it really feels like she is invested in our success. We now feel held and in control when it comes to our finances, and Harriet's accountant-meets-coach style has helped us shift our mindset to one of empowerment rather than avoidance.
We recommend Harriet to everyone!

Before working with Harriet, we were hoping to gain a better understanding of our business finances and achieve financial clarity to allow us to make changes to the business. Since we started working together, we have much greater confidence in making financial decisions.
What stands out about working with Harriet is that she provides pragmatic and helpful advice in a clear and straightforward format. As a business owner who does not have a financial background, Harriet takes the time to provide useful and structured guidance to allow us to make effective decisions.
