We’ve done this for more than 1000 organisations. Cut costs and end up with something better, not worse. Most businesses think they have to choose: cut costs or keep capability. After 20 years and more than 1,000 SMEs, I can tell you it's a false choice.

A business was about to cut the cost of its finance function by 25–30%. The only thing holding them back was one person. And she'd done nothing wrong.
