Our Mission

To empower aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools to shape their future. Company formation, statutory compliance and accounting should not be barriers for entrepreneurs. They should be frictionless, reliable, and intelligently handled – from day one onward.

What We’re Building

We’re solving the biggest problem UK entrepreneurs face – nothing is joined up. We’re creating a tech platform that supports UK founders through the entire lifecycle of their business – all in one place.

  • Company formation
  • Statutory compliance
  • Accounting
  • And more…

No stitched‑together services. No legacy workflows wrapped in software. A modern system built for founders who want to move fast and stay compliant easily.

Your Background

You are a highly experienced Program Manager / Senior Project Manager with a strong PMO background, confident leading the delivery of strategic, cross‑functional initiatives. You excel in structured project environments, setting up robust plans and Gantt charts, and driving programmes through to completion with discipline and predictability.

You take ownership of end‑to‑end delivery, developing detailed project plans, timelines and resourcing using SmartSheets. You work effectively across product, engineering, marketing and operations teams to align objectives, manage dependencies and ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope and within budget.

You are a confident communicator and proactive problem‑solver with 5+ years’ experience in fast‑paced environments. Highly organised and comfortable managing multiple priorities independently, you identify and mitigate risks, lead clear status reporting to senior stakeholders and apply Agile, Scrum and traditional methodologies to continuously improve delivery efficiency. You are available for a 3‑month engagement, bringing immediate structure and momentum to programme delivery.

Proof This Matters

  • ÂŁ18 million annual revenue, with an ARR of ÂŁ9 million
  • 1 million companies formed
  • Certified B Corp and a carbon‑neutral business
  • Projected to grow 5Ă— to 10Ă— over the next 3 years

We’ve conquered the company‑formation market and we’re just getting started.

How We Work

  • We operate with clarity and intent.
  • People own outcomes, not tasks.
  • Strategy and execution live in the same hands.
  • We prioritise quality, retention and scale.
  • We believe in in‑office collaboration.

The goal is simple: build the best scalable services in the market, that don’t break as we scale.

Talent Over Hierarchy

We don’t optimise for headcount – we optimise for impact. If you have talent and a huge commitment, you’ll move faster than anywhere else.

  • Kate Williams joined one year ago and has already been promoted to lead our content direction.
  • Amelia French joined six years ago, has earned five promotions and is now Director of Operations with a span of control of over 80 people.

What It Takes to Succeed Here

This is not a role for someone looking for structure to be handed to them.

You’ll Thrive Here if

  • You take responsibility without being asked.
  • You think in systems, not silos.
  • You care about long‑term outcomes over short‑term optics.
  • You want your work to materially shape the company’s trajectory.
  • You understand that scaling requires huge commitment and in‑office collaboration.

What We Offer in Return

We don’t offer comfort. We offer ownership.

  • Meaningful influence over what we build and how we build it.
  • A direct line between your contribution and the company’s success.

What We Pay

£80 000–90 000 (pro‑rata) + benefits.
