Trust the playbook
A proven method, followed with discipline, beats heroics.
About Pipmore
Senior finance and operations experience, without the big-firm overhead.
Pipmore is a founder-led UK consultancy for manufacturers and growing businesses. We help leadership teams find the margin and scale they already have, and carry the plan through to results you can see in the P&L.
Why we exist
The opportunity is usually already there.
More EBITDA. A finance function that shapes decisions. A business ready to scale, raise or sell. In most of the businesses we see, that potential is already in the numbers, the systems and the people.
What helps is a clear roadmap, the numbers to back it, and senior support to deliver it alongside the day job. That's what we bring: a playbook, an independent view, and hands-on delivery with your team.
We stay until the result is in the numbers, then hand it over so your team can carry it on.
The name
More from every pip.
A pip is a seed: small, full of potential, and the start of everything that grows. Pipmore is about getting more from what a business already has. The mark shows it: two leaves growing from a single pip.
The method follows the same story. Pinpoint plants the seed, Implement grows it, and Prosper is the full sprout: gains banked and held. See the PIP method.
Founder
Nick Garner
A PwC-trained chartered accountant (FCA) who builds finance functions leaders can rely on: ones that drive outcomes rather than just report them. He leads both pillars personally, with trusted specialists where the work needs them.
PwC · Deliveroo · TransDigm
- Trained at PwC. He went from audit and controls to leading the South East's financial modelling and data practice, advising boards on turning data into decisions.
- Built for hypergrowth at Deliveroo. He ran the financial systems behind revenue-to-cash and month-end close as the business scaled towards its IPO.
- Made margin inside TransDigm. As Group FD of Chelton, a TransDigm business, he rebuilt cost accounting and priced major contracts to the margin bar. He also led the pricing and productivity programmes that lifted EBITDA.
- Rebuilt costing from scratch. At PBE Axell, a PE-backed manufacturer, he rebuilt standard costing, created a new price book and built the forecast that runs from sales pipeline to EBITDA.
- Trusted to lead technology. As an interim CTO, he set the digital, data and AI strategy for a UK healthcare provider.
He took one business from no forecasting to a full pipeline S&IOP forecast, traced through to EBITDA impact.
What we stand for
Four values. We hold ourselves to all of them.
No ego
Your team gets the credit, and keeps the playbook when we leave.
Straight talk
Clear, honest and constructive, even when it isn't what you hoped to hear.
Relentless to the finish
Banked, or it didn't happen. The work ends when the result is in the numbers.
How we work
Senior, clear and honest about fit.
Founder-led
You work with Nick from the first call to the handover. You won't be handed to a junior team.
Trusted specialists
Where the work needs extra hands or a specific skill, Nick brings in hand-picked specialists who follow the same playbook.
Fixed fee per phase
You know the cost of each phase before it starts. There's a contingent option, tied to gains banked in the P&L.
