HI I’M THEA

FINANCE EXPERT, PROFIT COACH and SCALING STRATEGIST for SOLO FOUNDERS.

I’m an a multi-award-winning entrepreneur, former CFO and dedicated business coach, helping solo founders in the UK and internationally build profitable, sustainable businesses.

My mission is simple: to empower driven founders to achieve financial stability, growth, and personal fulfilment - without burning out or feeling overwhelmed.

Over the past two decades, I’ve built multiple businesses from scratch, earned several awards for my entrepreneurial achievements and led finance for high-growth startups as a CFO.

I know firsthand the challenges of managing cash flow, scaling operations, and balancing personal well-being while growing a business. These experiences have shaped my approach to coaching, allowing me to provide action-oriented, empathetic support to founders who are ready to grow.

MY PHILOSOPHY

MOST FOUNDERS DON'T NEED TO WORK HARDER. THEY NEED MORE CLARITY.

We're often told that growth comes from working harder, doing more, and pushing through. But sustainable growth isn't built on hustle alone.

It's built on understanding your numbers, making confident decisions, and creating a business that supports your life, not one that consumes it.

THAT'S WHY I WORK AT THE INTERSECTION OF STRATEGY, FINANCIAL CLARITY AND FOUNDER WELLBEING.

Because successful businesses aren't built by exhausted founders. They're built by people with the clarity, confidence and support to grow sustainably.
