In the world of business advisory and accounting, smaller doesn’t mean less experienced — it means more specialised, more invested, and far more connected to your goals. At The Co., we’ve spent over 15 years showing businesses exactly how powerful that difference can be. From functioning as a true extension of your team to providing a more personalised level of care and flexible access to expertise; here’s what working with a boutique consultant can offer, and why it might just be the edge your business needs.

A creative, overarching view of your business.

We aren’t just focused on volume; delivering detailed insights is really important to us. We have the capacity to truly understand your business, and many of our clients come to us because they want more from their accountants than just a number crunch. We understand that uncovering the driving forces behind the results is the best way to ensure sustainable success, and can spend the time required to focus on the bigger picture with personalised thinking. We’ll go beyond surface-level numbers to ask deeper questions about what influences your growth (or stalls it) and how your service or product is delivered, to discover what are your numbers are really saying.

Overall business growth.

We don’t just look at profit and loss — we look at potential. Whether you’re aiming to boost revenue, launch a new initiative, or restructure operations, our role is to strategically drive growth across your entire business in a way that aligns with your values and vision. We work with you, not just for you, so you’re never alone in the process.

Personalised care and investment.

Most people are in business for more than just a job — you want to build freedom, wealth, and a future beyond the company. We help you zoom out and look at the whole picture, including creating growth outside the business through smart structures, passive income, and long-term planning. We’re invested in you, not just the finances on paper.

Flexible access to elite specialists.

Boutique doesn’t mean limited. In fact, it means freedom.  As we’re not locked into rigid corporate structures, we’re able to collaborate with top-tier professionals in law, finance, marketing, industry-specific areas, and beyond. Instead of pushing you toward in-house teams, we tailor your expert support based on your unique needs — and manage those relationships for quality, efficiency, and budget alignment.

A true extension of your team.

We don’t just operate as distant consultants. We integrate with your business, getting to know your staff, your vision, and your day-to-day challenges. Our hands-on approach is what The Co. stands for: collective, collaborative growth. We’re part of your team, and your success is ours.

“Our approach at The Co is unique. We like to get out in the field and spend time with our clients, whether it’s at their office or factory, and just get a feel for how the business operates.

We can be agile enough to jump on the phone, go out on site, and solve problems; so they can focus on what they need to focus on, which is running their business” – Tim McColl, Partner

These principles fuel both our business, and our clients’ growth. At The Co., we don’t just tell you what to do; we show you how to do it, and do it with you. Because real progress comes from action, not just advice. If you’re ready to move beyond generic consulting and build something lasting, we’d love to start that journey with you.
