What does DisInnova mean by business advisory services?+
Senior, independent advice for boards and executive teams on governance, risk, controls, internal audit, transformation, fintech and board effectiveness — focused on the decisions that shape how the organisation is governed, run and grown.
How is business advisory different from management consulting or accounting?+
Business advisory is senior-led, time-boxed and decision-oriented. Large consulting engagements typically use mixed teams over longer periods. Accounting firms primarily handle compliance, audit and tax. DisInnova sits between these — partner-led advice on how the business is governed and run.
When do UK boards and executives typically engage advisory support?+
Common triggers include regulatory or supervisory pressure, growth outpacing the operating model, transformation programmes drifting on cost or risk, internal audit not landing with the committee, fintech scaling or authorisation, and boards needing an independent read on their own effectiveness.
What does a typical advisory engagement deliver?+
A small number of decision-ready recommendations, a clear improvement roadmap, refreshed governance, risk or assurance artefacts where relevant, and a confidential handover back to the executive team — not a long deck.
What is not included in a DisInnova advisory engagement?+
Advisory is not statutory audit, tax or legal counsel, not interim management or recruitment, not technology implementation and not executive coaching. Keeping the scope on independent judgement is what preserves its value.
