Core services

Each engagement is tailored, but most client work falls into three streams. You can start with one stream or combine them into a broader advisory relationship.

Stream 01

Financial clarity and cash mapping

For businesses that have regular reporting but do not feel they truly understand what the numbers are saying about risk and capacity.

  • Review of current reports, dashboards and assumptions.
  • Cash flow mapping that links customers, suppliers and payroll timing.
  • Simple visual summary you can share with your team or board.
Often delivered over four to six focused sessions.
Stream 02

Strategy and operating rhythm

For teams that have a strategic plan but find it difficult to keep execution aligned with the day-to-day reality of the business.

  • Clarification of medium-term direction and non-negotiable constraints.
  • Translation into a focused set of initiatives and measures.
  • Redesign of key meetings and reporting so the plan stays live.
Often combined with quarterly check-ins for course corrections.
Stream 03

Leadership decision support

For owners and executives who want a neutral sounding board when decisions affect people, capital and long-term positioning.

  • Structured sessions around key decisions, from hiring to investment.
  • Scenario work that puts numbers, risk and timing on the table.
  • Preparation for conversations with boards, banks and investors.
Available as a standalone advisory relationship or part of a broader engagement.

How a typical engagement unfolds

The structure is consistent, but the content is specific to your business. The aim is to move from orientation to action quickly, without skipping the hard questions.

  1. 1
    Orientation and listening

    Conversations with key people, review of current reports and plans, and a short written summary of where you are starting from.

  2. 2
    Focus and framing

    Agreement on the few decisions, risks or opportunities that matter most in the next 90 days, and how success will be recognised.

  3. 3
    Design and testing

    Working sessions to refine structure, reporting and rhythm, tested against real scenarios from your business instead of generic models.

  4. 4
    Implementation and support

    Adjusting meetings, responsibilities and data so the new way of working sticks, with support on hand as you test it in practice.

Fit and boundaries

Colokshiowla Advisory provides strategic and financial insight, not legal or tax advice.

We frequently collaborate with your existing accountants, lawyers and internal specialists so that everyone is pulling in the same direction.

When this kind of advisory is usually a good fit

  • You have a leadership team, but many decisions still land on one or two people.
  • The business is profitable, yet cash and capacity still feel tight more often than you would like.
  • You feel you are working hard, but are not sure which efforts are truly moving you towards your goals.
  • You want clearer language and structure around numbers to help align owners, boards and teams.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to have everything perfectly organised before we start?

No. Many clients engage precisely because they feel things are scattered. As long as basic financial records and access to key people are available, we can begin.

Can you work alongside our existing advisors?

Yes. We regularly collaborate with accountants, internal finance teams and legal advisors. The focus is to make sure everyone is working from a shared understanding of the business.

How far in advance do you book new work?

Availability varies across the year. Many clients schedule their initial engagement to align with their financial year, planning cycle or a known transition point.

Not sure which service fits?

A short call is often enough to understand what you are facing and whether Colokshiowla Advisory is the right partner.
