Testimonials
Over the years, we’ve supported a range of brilliant businesses in different sectors. Businesses that were ready to grow, to employ new members of staff, and whose owners and management teams were ready to achieve their ambitions and goals. We asked some of them to describe what it was like to work with HiThrive – and share the impact we were able to have on their business.

“Scott is a great sounding board to thrash out ideas. When we’d thought about using an external business consultant, we’d had reservations about the time required for them to get up to speed, understand our business/industry and ultimately start adding value.
Scott provided a fixed cost, agreed timescales and deliverables – and his breadth of knowledge and systematic approach was invaluable.
Scott offers a great sense check as well as adding his own input/spin to the discussion point. Even though he was a consultant, he truly felt part of the business and certainly treated it that way.
Scott’s integrity and passion for transparency, clear communication and mentoring will long live on. Everything was documented and, with his friendly and personable approach, he delivered great value. Scott is a genuine, passionate and intelligent individual – highly recommended.”

“HiThrive have been absolutely brilliant for our business at Space4Learning. We had the pleasure of working with Scott Rowland who immediately went to great lengths to understand every detail of how our business operated. He provided us with an in-depth analysis of our strengths and weaknesses along HiThrive's five key areas of performance: finance, safety, people, sales and service.
We discussed where we wanted the business to be in the future and Scott built a plan of action for us to get there. With regular meetings and round the clock support by phone and email we were able to progress the big picture of the business towards our goals alongside the day to day running of things, which seemed to take up all our energies previously. His sage counsel in times of crisis, deep care for the success of our business and unwavering support and belief in our ability to succeed were invaluable. I would thoroughly recommend HiThrive's services to SME's wishing to unlock their full potential.”

“Could not recommend Scott and his business enough. Whether you're a start-up (like me) or a fully-fledged business, the impartial advice Scott will/can give is always second to none. No matter the scenario, Scott takes the time to talk through all options thoroughly to ensure the advice given is best for your business. HiThrive go above and beyond to help and couldn't recommend them enough.
If you’re a start-up looking for business/funding advice or simply looking for a new way to drive your business forward, then do not hesitate and give HiThrive a call, it will be the best thing you’ve ever done for your business!”

“We're a long-established commercial window cleaning company which required a more modernised bookkeeping and payroll service from a local professional.
At first, we feared change from our existing bookkeeper, but Scott and Wiebke’s ability and accuracy in using Xero made the migration from Sage seamless.
Since working with HiThrive, we have always found them approachable, professional, and very nice individuals. Their service is first class, and I would definitely recommend their service for its professionalism, accuracy, and value for money.”

The most significant benefit for my business has been the ability to plan and analyse profit and loss, allowing me to make informed decisions based on real-time data.
