Operative Studio
Let’s clean up the chaos and build something scalable.
If your business is running on vibes and guesswork, you’re not alone.
I help founders like you stop winging it and start running their businesses with efficiency, confidence and support.
About me
Focus, strategy, and support —
from someone who actually gets it.
I’m Becki, operations and finance professional, systems nerd, and business wingwoman for design-based business founders who are ready to grow with intention.
I am an experienced CFO/COO specialising in design operations management. Over the last 18 years I have worked with many businesses from start ups to global tech brands to help them streamline their processes and workflows in order to achieve maximum efficiencies and perhaps more importantly, award winning customer experiences.
TOOLS TO HELP YOU sort through the chaos
Business healthcheck
Most creative agencies are leaking money — and have no idea where.
Not because they're bad at their craft. Because nobody ever taught them the business side.
The Agency Finance Health Check takes 3 minutes and tells you exactly where your financial gaps are — from how you price, to how you get paid, to whether you actually know your numbers.
Answer 12 questions. Get your score. Walk away with your top priorities.
Free. No fluff. Just clarity.

Money Date Guide
When you work for yourself, nobody hands you a payslip and tells you everything is fine. The numbers are your job (even if you have an accountant) — and when checking them only happens in a panic (tax deadline, quiet month, surprise expense), money starts to feel like a threat instead of a tool.
A money date flips that. It's a short, recurring appointment with your finances: same time every week, the same few questions, done in thirty minutes with a drink you actually like. Not an audit — a check-in. The magic is in the frequency, not the depth.
