SJ Associates is a transformation and financial management consultancy for ambitious professional services and technology businesses. We help business owners and entrepreneurial executives to establish their own way forward and support them in achieving their aims. Together we identify the core drivers of change and generate actionable solutions to achieve break-through growth momentum and professional satisfaction. We are the right people to talk to if you want to address exciting challenges such as: · Now I have got this far, what do I do next? · How can I sustain my success and build further scale? · What are the central drivers of success for me and my business? · How can I lead my team to execute strategy faster and more effectively? · What shape should my organisation take to achieve its goals? Our response to these fundamental questions can take the form of direct interventions as Board Advisors, CFO/FD and general management support, or of a more facilitative nature through executive coaching, mentoring and leadership development. Key areas of focus are business planning, investment strategy and fund-raising, marketing strategy, organisational development, sales effectiveness and management training. Our principal, Simon Jones, is an experienced CEO and active entrepreneur who continues to work with his own portfolio of companies as a Chairman or Non-Executive Director alongside his SJ Associates advisory activities. In this way we ensure our over-arching general management approach covers all the essential elements of the change our clients will be facing - nothing will be missed. Empathy, confidence, challenge, insight, accountability and tenacity are our watch-words. While we work across most sectors, we do have specific expertise in telecoms and IT services, B2B software applications, data analytics and e-learning, professional service businesses, energy and cleantech.
