DN8 Partners · Operating partners

Your business should run without you.

We are operating partners, not consultants. We do not write expensive reports from the outside, we step inside:

  1. 1Set up a working operating model
  2. 2Put finance and the organization in order
  3. 3Train your team and hand you the wheel
Build. Operate. Transfer.

We execute, not advise

We take the seat and do the work, not hand you recommendations from the side.

We build

An effective toolkit tailored to you, based on the world's best practices.

We train and hand off

Your team learns to run the model. You do not get hooked on our services.

We do it as if it were ours

Because we do not know any other way.

What sets us apart and our principles

Consultants leave a report. We leave a working business.

We help tired, visionary owners step out of operations and build companies that run on a system, not on heroics. When the business rests on the owner, the staff cannot keep up, and growth stays out of reach because everyone is always firefighting, we help build a system you can actually manage.

  • Order, that is freedom.
  • Simplicity, the height of mastery.
  • Behavior, a function of environment and personality.
  • Profit, the result of everyone's combined actions.
  • Every system is perfect for the result it produces. Want a different result, be ready to change the system.
Where we start

A 14-day diagnostic

In two weeks we show you, in money, where the business is losing right now: turnover, downtime, manual control, financial blind spots. For the first time you see the cost of chaos as a number, not a feeling. Then you decide what to fix first.

  • A money map of losses. Where and how much leaks out.
  • Dependencies and risks. Who and what the business rests on.
  • Financial blind spots. What the reporting does not show.
  • A first-90-days plan. What we set up and in what order.
How it works

Build. Operate. Transfer.

From the first diagnostic to the point where the business rests on a system, not on people who cannot be replaced.

01

Diagnostic

14 days. A money map of losses and a plan. A cheap, risk-free way in.

02

Build

We take the seats, set up the operating model, hit the first metric.

03

Operate and train

We get it to steady state and teach your team to run the model.

04

Transfer

We hand the wheel to the owner. The business runs without us.

What we do

Three strands that make up your business DNA

Finance, operations and people, the things a business cannot run without once the owner is taken out. Every mandate starts here.

01 · Finance & FP&A

See where the money is

Management accounting, cash flow, a financial picture, reporting for the board and the bank. Without numbers you cannot prove a single win, so we start here.

02 · Operations & model

A system instead of manual

Processes out of the owner's head and into a working model: roles, areas of responsibility, day-to-day management, automation and performance control.

03 · People & organization

A business with no irreplaceable people

Org structure, retention of key people, results-based motivation, training and handover. People as an investment, not a cost line.
