Business & Finance Strategy Advisor Location: London-based preferred Structure: Freelance | Monthly Retainer £200 | KPIs + Performance Incentives Long-term collaboration opportunity About 3Koncept 3Koncept is a dynamic, female-led creative consultancy based in London, specialising in branding, business strategy, design, and experience creation across diverse lifestyle industries. We create and develop: brands, teams, and experiences. We operate at the intersection of creativity, business strategy, and lived experience. 3Koncept partners with founders and brands across hospitality, lifestyle, design, and culture-driven sectors to build concepts that are not only visually compelling, but commercially intelligent and structurally sound. Whether launching a restaurant, shaping a hotel identity, refining a fashion brand, or developing an experiential space, our focus remains the same: aligning vision, strategy, and execution into businesses that are distinctive, adaptable, and built for longevity. We are not traditional consultants. At 3Koncept, problem-solving isn’t just something we do — it is how we think. As a neurodivergent-led consultancy, structure, strategy, and making things work are not optional goals; they are hardwired into how we operate. Pattern recognition, anticipating challenges, and simplifying complexity are intrinsic to our thinking. We naturally see hidden connections, break down complexity, foresee potential issues, and design proactive solutions before problems escalate. Our autistic traits allow us to: • Recognise hidden connections, • Approach challenges from multiple perspectives, • Continuously refine and optimise processes This role exists to ensure that creativity is always underpinned by viable business architecture. The Role This is not a traditional finance position. It is a high-level advisory partnership designed for someone deeply experienced across multiple industries — someone who understands how businesses truly function behind the scenes and how to build them for resilience and scale. You will work directly with the Creative Director to: • Translate visionary, creative, and non-linear ideas into structured commercial strategy, • Evaluate feasibility, risk exposure, and financial sustainability, • Design scalable business models, • Provide legal and financial sense-checking before execution, • Shape pricing, revenue architecture, and cost structures, • Support negotiation positioning and partnership frameworks You will bring objectivity, commercial clarity, and grounded foresight. This is a strategic thinking partnership — not bookkeeping, not transactional accounting. It is about protecting vision through intelligent structure. Key ResponsibilitiesFinancial Architecture & Oversight • Ensure financial data is accurate, structured, and reliable, • Develop and oversee P&L statements, forecasts, and scenario modelling, • Manage cash flow forecasting and runway planning, • Define financial KPIs and measurable performance benchmarks, • Design scalable revenue models across hospitality and lifestyle sectors, • Develop pricing strategy and unit economics, • Evaluate new ventures, concepts, and expansion opportunities, • Structure partnerships and commercial agreements, • Sense-check business assumptions and long-term growth plans, • Identify potential legal and compliance considerations, • Guide high-level contract positioning and structural frameworks, • Support risk mitigation and governance design, • Act as a strategic sounding board for executive-level decisions, • Bring diverse industry insight into hospitality-focused growth, • Provide calm, objective perspective in fast-moving environments, • Coach and mentor leadership through scaling stages Experience in hospitality (hotels, restaurants, lifestyle venues) is essential. However, cross-industry exposure is highly valued. We are intentionally seeking someone who brings broad commercial experience — whether from corporate environments, startups, consultancy, property, retail, technology, investment, or multi-sector operations. Breadth of thinking is critical. Who You Are • A highly experienced consultant, fractional CFO, or strategic finance advisor, • Deeply commercially minded with strong financial and legal literacy, • Comfortable thinking beyond conventional structures, • Experienced across multiple industries and business models, • Confident in high-level advisory conversations, • Strategic, calm, and objective, • Comfortable working with abstract creative thinkers, • Able to structure complexity without shutting down innovation, • Analytical yet open-minded, • Motivated by shaping businesses, not simply reviewing numbers Importantly, you gain genuine satisfaction from seeing change happen. You take pride in watching ideas become structured ventures, and ventures evolve into scalable operations. Growth energises you — intellectually, strategically, and commercially. You enjoy coaching founders, advising leadership teams, and playing a pivotal role behind the scenes in long-term transformation. You are not seeking a static advisory seat. You are motivated by progression, refinement, and measurable impact — and you value alignment where, as the business grows, your contribution, influence, and remuneration evolve alongside it. You understand that financial strategy is not about restriction — it is about enabling sustainable ambition.
