My Work
What I do starts here.
Simply Kaizen Consulting
Simply Kaizen is a consultancy specialising in advice systems and process for advisers and licensees. Patrick’s experience spans every aspect of the advice process and management. Having worked with practices nationwide, he is best known for bringing innovation and technology to advice.
Please note we are presently only taking new consulting clients by invitation or referral.
Patrick was able to visit our practice and in a couple of days completely transformed our review process. He introduced automation that improved our client contacts and compliance, saved both me as the principal adviser, as well as my team time; and reduced our administration support workload by 10-15%.
