# Frankly Consult
Frankly Consult is a London-based business solutions consultancy specialising in financial management and strategic advisory for small business owners. Founded by Joanne Whitehead, the firm tackles the core finance challenges that prevent business growth, from cashflow management to payroll administration and financial reporting.
The business serves ambitious small business owners and entrepreneurs across multiple sectors who struggle to balance day-to-day financial operations with strategic decision-making. Client testimonials reveal they work with fast-paced, growth-focused companies requiring both operational support and boardroom-level insights.
What distinguishes Frankly Consult is their personalised, collaborative approach. Rather than imposing unnecessary services, they take time to understand each business's specific needs and working preferences. They position themselves as trusted members of the core team rather than distant advisors. The firm demonstrates flexibility in service delivery, creating bespoke solutions including non-standard reporting when required. Their core values—accountability, efficiency, community, relationships, and fun—underpin a philosophy of genuine partnership for the long term.
The team holds significant industry credentials, including Xero partnerships and ICPA accreditation, validating their expertise in modern accounting practices. They emphasise continuous improvement and aren't afraid to innovate in their approach. Beyond financial mechanics, they provide strategic guidance on systems and processes that support sustainable business growth, helping owners reclaim time and gain confidence in their financial position.
