About

A Head of Time exists to maximise profit by increasing ROI on your biggest overhead: staff costs

We partner with SME owners and leadership teams who are ambitious, capable, and under pressure, helping them step out of constant firefighting and into calm, confident control. Our work is focused on clarity: clarity of direction, clarity of priorities, and clarity of roles – because clarity is one of the highest drivers of performance and profitability. By reducing wasted effort, misalignment, and decision drag, we help leaders unlock significant ROI through better use of time, energy, and talent.

What sets us apart is the way we work and the experience we bring.

Founded by a Chartered Accountant with over 25 years of real-world SME leadership experience, and supported by senior expertise in employment law, mediation, coaching, and organisational psychology, A Head of Time bridges the gap between numbers and people. We apply commercial discipline and emotional intelligence in equal measure, creating psychologically safe environments where leaders and teams can think clearly, act decisively, and perform at their best. The result is sustainable growth, stronger retention, better decision-making, and a demonstrable return on investment – not through working harder, but through working smarter, together.
