Statutory compliance, operational software and unmediated senior troubleshooting — arranging institutional-level continuity for any organisation, including growing, tight management, and cross-border businesses.
The intersection of systems, finance, and administration
Conventional advisers treat statutory filings, books, and operational software as separate disciplines. That seam creates friction, manual work, and reporting delays for management.
We operate across all three. We design, maintain, and run the digital workflows and administrative infrastructure that feed your financial ledgers and satisfy statutory scrutiny directly.
Filings, VAT and returns, company secretarial, restructuring across eleven regimes.
Bookkeeping & Documentkeeping
Structured, reconciled books and orderly document records that owners and stakeholders can rely on — designed to integrate directly with the operational platforms your business uses daily.
Operational software
Operational platforms engineered around financial control and administrative compliance. We configure, adapt and operate Claris FileMaker, Twilio, Dropbox, Google Workspace, Shopify, Revolut and bespoke Stripe-to-ledger pipelines — ensuring daily operations feed statutory and ledger records without manual intervention. Websites like this one, with domain, security and hosting set up on Lovable, Cloudflare and GitHub, billed hourly.
Senior troubleshooting
Unmediated access to principals when something urgent or complex lands.
Crisis response
Rapid backup, redundancy, recovery and support when something breaks — electronic communications kept open, payments and filings kept moving, disaster management handled directly where it is administrative, and a hot introduction for PR management.

Institutional pedigree. Hyperlocal execution.
Big-Four consultancies and large agencies price out growing businesses and put layers of junior account managers between you and the answer. Small local bookkeepers and freelance developers hit a ceiling once operations get complex or cross borders.
Workaholic Group bridges that gap. Our principals bring operational experience from GIC, Man Group and IMC directly to your local desk — whether you need a UK VAT return, a custom data bridge, or urgent corporate restructuring. Big-firm capability, local-partner speed.
