Welcome to Finance Fairy Godmother

I think I know you.
Hands up if...

🪄You’ve created a business that lights you up, but have no idea how well it’s doing financially (I mean, no one taught you about business finance, how are you supposed to know?)

🪄You price your fees or products solely based on ✨vibes✨ and not practical data. Read: you have no idea if you’re maximising your profits, or if your income model is profitable at all. And also, what exactly is an income model?

🪄You’re working like a donkey, yet there’s never enough cash in the bank for you to cover your business expenses and pay yourself. Where did it all go?

🪄You have great plans for the business’ future, but no idea of how much it will cost you to get you there, what to invest in, and what to do to make sure you stay on track.

🪄Your bookkeeping is a mess. Or maybe it’s not that messy, but you still want to make sure you’re doing it right because you taught yourself how to keep the books.

🪄As you have conversations with stakeholders (industry peers, potential collaborators, brands, media outlets, board members) you’re secretly scared that they’ll ask you the finance questions, because you actually don’t know what most of those terms mean (turnover? Assets? Liabilities? Rolling cashflow? Reserves? Huh?)

🪄You know that you should budget when it comes to your business, but you don’t know where to start, so you end up hiding under your desk clutching your comfort blanket hoping you won’t go broke tomorrow.

If any of these resonate, I’m your gal!

There’s one thing I don’t do though, and that’s tax returns. My jam is business strategy and financial management, rather than taxation.

But if you’re after someone who also speaks “creative” and can support you with your personal and company tax return, please get in touch! I know brilliant people I can refer you to ⭐️

Let's work together!

Finance is not a scary monster… it’s a tail-wagging golden retriever desperate to rescue you from the rubble!

“I know nothing about proper financial management, therefore I am terrible at it and I hide from it hoping for the best”

Sound familiar? I can pull you out of the finance terror spiral 🌻

With me, your sh*t will be together, in a spreadsheet you’ll be able to read.

Hi! Susie here, a business finance expert who speaks “creative.” I’m actually fluent in it, no accent!

After turning down a career as a professional dancer, I chose the much more exciting and satisfying path of becoming a Finance Director. I’m serious!

I love all things finance and business: I revel in taking unprocessed, messy financial data and transforming it into helpful and meaningful information that creative leaders and business owners like you can use to make their business thrive.

Susie is excellent. I have had such a brilliant experience of training and consultancy through working with her - she has a wonderful ability to break down concepts and explain them to non-accountancy/finance trained folks in clear and simple ways - she makes grappling with accountancy easy and for that I cannot sing her praises enough.

Susie truly embodies the essence of her namesake, the Finance Fairy Godmother. I have had the pleasure of working with Susie in various capacities, both as an individual and within an organisation. I’ve also purchased—and now religiously use—both of her budget templates. Susie is incredibly knowledgeable and distils that knowledge with patience and kindness. She has not only increased my own financial confidence but has also supported others I’ve worked with to feel the same. Her support is invaluable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Susie’s financial management training was a total game-changer for Lily and I as new business owners (who in the very early months of just relied on a cash flow spreadsheet and crossing fingers every month that we'd be able to pay our bills). We knew our business would thrive if we learnt more about the financial side, but we were nervous and didn't know where to start. Enter Susie, first a client of ours, now a friend and an investor in Candid. She took what often feels overwhelming and made it clear, practical, and actionable. The session gave us a much stronger grasp of management accounts and how to present them effectively in future board meetings—something that will massively impact our business going forward. Before diving in, she spent time understanding our current bookkeeping, cash flow, and transaction tracking, offering thoughtful insights on how to refine our system. Everything was delivered in such an approachable and engaging way, making complex finance feel not just manageable, but empowering. And, of course, she did it all while sipping her signature decaf oat milk cappuccino with sugar—because the details always matter. If you need financial clarity with a side of kindness and expertise, Susie is the one to call.

Susie is absolutely brilliant at helping you to understand how best to deal with finances and teaching you methods in which to implement into your own bookkeeping or budgeting. She has made the whole process easy, accessible, and manageable. Her expertises in the arts and entertainment industry make her a true asset to work with.
