We Help Growing Service Businesses
We work alongside founders, leadership teams, and operations managers to simplify processes, improve efficiency and strengthen accountability.
Our clients are typically service-based businesses with 10–200 employees that have outgrown informal processes and need greater structure, visibility, and control without adding unnecessary complexity.
Whether You're...
An overloaded founder
Trying to step away from the day-to-day and build a business that doesn't depend on you.
A leadership team preparing for growth
Looking to create the systems, processes, and accountability needed to scale effectively.
An operations manager facing increasing complexity
Needing additional expertise and support to improve performance and drive change.
Esther & Jon, the co-founders of WorkFlo, are two industry professionals who met over a coffee after dropping off their kids at their first day of school. We quickly realised we shared similar career paths and values, and with backgrounds in large corporate organisations, we’ve seen how strong operations can transform a business - but also how small businesses often lack access to that level of expertise.
Together, we built our business operations advisory service to bring practical, hands-on support to growing businesses.
