Clear thinking for the decisions that shape your business and your life.



I’m a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant and an accredited executive coach. I work with owners, directors and leaders at the moments that matter most: deciding what comes next, stepping back or selling well, and changing how they lead. Every programme looks at the business and the person at the same time.

A neutral partner, with no stake in the outcome

Accountants and consultants tend to look at the numbers. Coaches tend to look at you. I hold both at once, with the commercial rigour of an accountant who built, grew and sold her own business, and the depth of an accredited coach.


I don’t push a particular deal, structure or outcome. Where the work needs a solicitor, tax adviser or selling agent, I connect you with trusted professionals at the right moment. Everything is confidential.

How I can help


Choose the stage closest to where you are. Each page is short, and every programme begins with a complimentary, confidential 30-minute conversation.

From a decision that won’t settle to a transition done properly

The Clarity Intensive

For when you’re still weighing the decision


Scale, restructure, redefine your role, sell, merge or retire. A focused, neutral space to work through the big decision in front of you, looking at the business impact and the life impact of every option, and leave knowing your right next step.

Format: one full Clarity Day, or six 90-minute sessions. You leave with a written Clarity Summary and a practical plan.

The Transition Programme

For For when the decision is made


Selling, merging, stepping back or retiring. A calm, structured partnership that prepares the business, from financials and systems to the team and handover, while supporting you through what the change means personally.

Format: a 6-month or 12-month programme, with monthly deep-dive sessions and ongoing check-ins.

Changing how you lead, with your team alongside you.

The Leadership (Executive) Coaching

For when you know you can lead better than this


Starting from a Genos Emotional Intelligence assessment, we identify one or two specific leadership behaviours to shift, such as delegation, communication or decision-making under pressure, and bring your team into the process so the change lasts.

Format: the Leadership Series (six 90-minute sessions), or the Leadership Partnership over 6 or 12 months.

Not looking to exit. Looking to grow.

Real behaviour change takes six to twelve months, and it sticks when the people around you are part of it.

crossroads, it’s when.”

Testimonials

John Doe's Image
"Eight months ago, I was unhappy in my job and unsure about my future but coaching with Sarah Daly changed everything. Within just five months, I made the bold decision to quit my job and start my own business—a decision I only shared with Sarah during our sixth coaching session. Her reaction was nothing short of supportive. Sarah's insights helped simplify a complex transition, making it an exciting new chapter in my life. Now, as a business owner aligned with my professional and personal goals, I highly recommend Sarah's coaching to anyone eager to transform their life. Her expertise and encouragement are invaluable.“

“Sarah was my coach for six months during a pivotal time in my life and career. I was at a crossroads, trying to decide whether to pursue a promotion or start a new career path. Sarah's coaching was instrumental in navigating these decisions. Although I didn't get the promotion initially, Sarah helped me take the feedback constructively and prepare for future opportunities.. Her coaching helped me gain clarity and become more aware of what I truly wanted. I am immensely grateful for her guidance and support during this crucial time."

“Hi Sarah, I just want to say I’m enjoying working with you. You are tough but you listen. You quickly grasp where details fit into the big picture. And what I most like is that you are a quick thinker. My brain also moves fast (not always in the right direction !) but I like that I don’t have to slow down with you. Thank you for your help and giving me hope !
