About
Do you wish you understood how to use your data to make decisions more confidently? That’s what I’m here to help with.
Hi, I’m Sara-Jayne Slocombe. I help you know and understand your small business’ numbers.
My mission is to help you run a profitable, enjoyable business doing what you love by providing insights into your most pressing questions by analysing your data.
When you can understand what the data is telling you, you can harness that power to make better decisions about pricing your products, launching new products, changing direction, and so much more.
Running your own business can be a scary thing sometimes, with many of us relying only on our gut. It is important to listen to your intuition, but life is much easier when you have data to guide you.
I bring my degree in mathematics and my training in data science to your business to help you see the big picture patterns and understand the music of the numbers in a different way. I straddle the worlds of detail and the big picture view, and I keep a holistic view of your business and your life in mind to help you get your business where you want it to be.
I’m a mathematician, business insights consultant, qualified bookkeeper, numberphile, wife, volunteer, immigrant, lapsed musician (clarinet and baritone saxophone), stationery fanatic, eternal student, cook, baker, and much more. I look forward to meeting you!
Success Story
Bonus £18k found
Imagine finding £18k down the back of the couch.
What would you do with it?
My client hired their first employee after I did just that for them.
I was able to bring in an extra £18,355 of revenue after simply checking their cash receipts against their invoices. Because no one had been checking this, the client hadn’t realised they were owed this money.
That was a 19% increase in annual income that year.
For work they’d already done.
We’re drowning in numbers and data; it’s vital to know which to pay attention to.
Their bookkeeper had prided herself that everything always matched to the penny.
It did.
However, she never thought to check whether their customers were actually paying their invoices.
It can really add up over the years.
Are you checking the right numbers? I’d love to help you find out.
