7 Branches Of Success Programme

Values & Purpose Workshop

Struggling with misalignment and a lack of direction across your business? It’s frustrating when your team isn’t on the same page, and there’s no clear purpose driving your company forward. Our Values & Purpose Workshop helps you lay a solid foundation by defining your core values and aligning everyone in your organisation toward a common goal.

Systems & Processes Workshop

Feeling like your business is stuck in a cycle of inefficiency, with things running smoothly one moment and falling apart the next? These inconsistencies can prevent you from scaling effectively. Our Systems & Processes Workshop establishes robust systems that ensure your business runs smoothly and sustainably, freeing you to focus on growth.

People & Culture Workshop

Overwhelmed by a lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities, and a weak company culture that’s causing departments to work against each other? It’s tough to build a strong business when your team isn’t cohesive. Our People & Culture Workshop creates a unified culture, clearly defines roles, and ensures your team is aligned and motivated, so you can confidently step back when needed.

Goals & Mindset Workshop

Feeling lost and directionless, unsure if your goals are realistic or if you’re making the right decisions? It’s easy to get stuck in the day-to-day without a clear path forward. Our Goals & Mindset Workshop brings clarity and focus to your next steps, helping you set measurable, strategic goals and fostering a growth mindset to guide your decisions.

Data & Reporting Workshop

Frustrated by unclear data and poor decision-making, leaving you unsure about the real issues in your business? When you don’t have accurate information, it’s impossible to steer your company effectively. Our Data & Reporting Workshop equips you with the tools to leverage accurate data, set measurable targets, and use insights to drive informed decisions.

Profit & Cashflow Workshop

Stressed about constant cash flow problems and the inability to meet your financial obligations? When you’re always in a financial pinch, it’s hard to focus on growth or innovation. Our Profit & Cashflow Workshop helps you understand and manage your cash flow effectively, confirms whether your business model is sustainable or not, and helps you get better alignment with your goals.

Sales & Marketing Workshop

Tired of inconsistent sales and a marketing strategy that just isn’t delivering results? It’s frustrating when your efforts don’t translate into growth. Our Sales & Marketing Workshop crafts a clear, effective strategy that aligns with your sales goals, ensuring consistent and successful customer acquisition and retention.

Testimonials

I have been working with Steven as an advisory client for the last four years and it has been an absolute god send to my business and its success, as well as to my confidence as a business owner. Having Steven as a sounding board is like having an onsite CFO – I would be unable to run or grow my business and make key financial or strategic decisions without him and the fool proof forecasts he builds and we work from each year. I would absolutely advise and encourage any company founder of a start-up or small business to utilise this service and Steven’s incredible expertise, particularly, if like me, you do not have the accounting knowledge or time to focus in such a complex and ever-changing area.
Steven is a kind, patient and supportive individual who truly cares for his clients- I enjoy every moment working with him and truly feel he shares my vision of growing a successful and thriving business. Thank you Steven!

I launched my company around the same time as Nordens, and they’ve been there for us through thick and thin. Throughout the challenges of Covid, they truly alleviated a lot of pressure and expertly navigated us through the financial uncertainties that arose. I highly recommend reaching out to Nordens for any new business; their expertise has been invaluable to us. A special shoutout to Steven, whose superb support and always-available advice have been instrumental in our journey

Moonlight Design Limited

Nordens have been our corporate accountants since we launched our business in August 2016 and their strategic guidance has helped grow our business for the past 5 years. Joe, Olga and Jane are the main 3 people we deal with and all 3 are fantastic. I couldn’t recommend Nordens enough.
