Manufacturing Consultant in Liverpool & Online

Strategic CFO Support to Boost Profit and Streamline Operations.

Your Trusted Manufacturing and Operations Consultant with First Hand Experience

Based near Manchester and working with businesses across the North West – including Liverpool – and countless more across the nation online, we support manufacturing and distribution companies that want to grow without losing control of their cash.

If you’re running a manufacturing or distribution business and feel like you’re making sales but still can’t see where the money’s going – you’re not alone. When you’re juggling cash flow, firefighting operations, and managing staff and suppliers, profit and business growth can feel impossible without clear financial strategy.

At Logical BI, we offer CFO services designed to bring financial clarity, increase profits, and give you space to breathe again. Whether you’re in manufacturing, distribution, or a product or service-based business, we’ll help you stop firefighting and start forward-planning. 

Operations Consulting with Industry Knowledge

You need a manufacturing finance consultant who not only crunches the numbers but has worked with “boots on the ground” within the industry. At Logical BI, we bring over 25 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, distribution, and operations consulting to help you gain clarity, control, and profit.

Strategic Finance Meets Operational Know-How

Manufacturing and distribution aren’t like other industries. Timings matter. Margins are tight. Stock is cash. And one delay in the supply chain can throw off your entire month.  Our founder, Pauline has worked in operations teams herself – not just finance – and so fully understands the issues with lead times, production schedules, and how a single hiccup can derail cash flow. This is operations consulting with the financial foresight to back it up.

What You Can Expect from a CFO Retainer

Every business is different. Whether you’re turning over £1M or scaling towards £30M, you deserve director-level financial support – without the cost of a full-time hire. That’s exactly how Pauline and Logical BI can help you. 

Tailored Support on a Retainer Basis

You’ll receive part-time, on-demand access to me (Pauline). I’m a senior manufacturing consultant with 25 years’ experience in delivering strategic financial direction to companies of all sizes. I’ll structure our engagement to fit your needs.

How we Start: Diagnosing Before We Prescribe

You wouldn’t change parts in your car without running a full diagnostic. If the power’s sluggish and it’s not accelerating as it should, the mechanic isn’t just going to guess which bit to swap. They’ll look at the full picture first – because without understanding the real cause, the fix might make no difference… and cost you more. 

The same goes for your business. 

Before we jump into recommendations, we start with a full strategic deep dive. What story are your P&L and balance sheet telling?  

This deep diagnostic gives you the clarity you’ve been missing. And once we find the bottlenecks, blind spots or easy wins, we don’t just fix them – we build a smarter strategy around them. That’s how we turn performance into profit. 

 

From Strategy to Implementation

Beyond strategy sessions, (depending on your individual requirements), I roll up my sleeves to help implement new systems, support or host regular management meetings, train and mentor your finance team, review supplier performance, and streamline operational processes. It’s about turning insight into actionand creating the accountability needed to keep progress moving. 
 

Why Choose a Manufacturing Finance Consultant with Sector Experience?

Manufacturing businesses need someone who understands the rhythm of your operations. You don’t need a corporate CFO who’s only familiar with boardrooms. You need a manufacturing CFO who knows production schedules, inventory cycles, and how to align finance with the factory floor. With decades in manufacturing and distribution, I offer:
  • Deep operational insight 
  • Straight-talking financial clarity 
  • Practical, actionable advice 
  • The commercial acumen to help you win 
  • A tailored plan specifically for your business
