Real People, Real Results
We're not just another finance consultancy. We're the team that spent seven years figuring out why traditional financial advice doesn't work for modern British businesses — and what actually does.
Cordelia Thorne-Hayes
Senior Finance Education Specialist
Started her career watching small businesses fail because they couldn't read their own numbers. Now she translates complex financial concepts into practical decisions that actually make sense.
Seraphina Blackwood
Strategic Planning Consultant
Spent a decade helping family businesses transition between generations. She knows that financial planning isn't about spreadsheets — it's about understanding what keeps business owners awake at night.
Our Approach
We believe every business owner deserves to understand their finances without needing an accounting degree. That's why we focus on practical education rather than theoretical concepts.
How We Got Here
Seven years of learning what works — and what doesn't — in UK business finance
The Reality Check
Founded nolarioava after watching too many capable business owners make expensive mistakes simply because traditional financial advice wasn't designed for their actual situations. Started with a simple question: what if financial education actually helped people make better decisions?
The Stress Test
The pandemic taught us something crucial about business finance — it's not about having the perfect plan, it's about understanding your numbers well enough to adapt quickly. We spent these years developing our practical approach to financial awareness that focuses on real-world application.
Finding What Works
Worked with over 200 UK businesses to understand the gap between financial theory and practice. Discovered that most business owners don't need more complex tools — they need clearer understanding of the tools they already have. This insight shaped everything we do now.
What We've Learned
Financial awareness isn't about perfection — it's about confidence. When business owners understand their numbers, they make better decisions. When they make better decisions, their businesses grow more sustainably. It's that straightforward.
What Drives Us
Practical Over Perfect
We'd rather help you understand your basic cash flow really well than give you a complex model you'll never use. Good decisions come from clear understanding, not sophisticated tools.
Context Matters
Every business is different. A family bakery in Manchester has different financial priorities than a tech startup in London. We tailor our approach to fit your actual situation, not theoretical ideals.
Speed of Understanding
Business moves fast. When you understand your finances intuitively, you can make decisions quickly and confidently. That competitive advantage is worth more than any fancy forecasting model.
