Services
An ecosystem of services for businesses that want to succeed.
Start with the one you need now. Add the others when they make sense. Every service is delivered by the same firm, with the same understanding of your business, so nothing falls between the gaps.
The ecosystem
Ten disciplines, three jobs: run the business, grow it, protect it.
Most firms sell one of these. We put them under one roof so your accountant, your HR adviser, your procurement lead and your systems builder are the same team, working from the same numbers.
Run
The disciplines every business has to get right every month: accurate accounts, staff paid on time, people managed properly and systems that remove the admin.
Grow
Advice, planning and marketing to take a business that works and make it bigger, more profitable and less dependent on its owner.
Protect
Controlling what you spend, reshaping the business when it needs it, and making sure the right cover and planning are in place through FCA-authorised partners.
How the three jobs fit together
Run the month. Climb the plan. Protect the margin.
The operating rhythm
Run once, properly, every month.
Reconciled weekly, paid on time, reported at month end, filed on the quarter and closed at year end. When the rhythm holds, the numbers are always current and nothing is a surprise.
The growth staircase
Each step funded, staffed and systemised before the next.
Growth fails when the business climbs two steps on one step's cash and people. The plan sets the sequence, the model proves it funds itself, and quarterly reviews keep it honest.
The margin bridge
Every pound removed from cost lands in profit.
Procurement works on the cost of sales. Restructuring works on overheads. The right cover, through FCA-authorised partners, stops a single event wiping out the year. Together they protect what is left.
Why one firm
The patchwork is costing you more than you think.
Five suppliers, five invoices, five versions of the truth, and the owner stuck in the middle translating. Decisions fall through the gaps between them. Fortis closes the gaps.
The usual patchwork
- An accountant who files but does not explain
- A payroll bureau that never speaks to the accountant
- An HR consultant who has not seen the numbers
- An agency measured on clicks, not enquiries
- Software chosen by whoever sold it best
- You, as the go-between for all of them
The Fortis ecosystem
- One team with one picture of the business
- Accounts, payroll and HR that reconcile with each other
- Advice grounded in your actual figures
- Marketing measured on cost per enquiry and per sale
- Systems designed around how your work actually flows
- A single conversation, a single plan, one firm accountable
