What Keystone Advisory does

Advisor matching, not a directory

You describe the situation in plain words. We read it and put you with an advisor whose work is that subject — not a list of profiles to sift through yourself.

Consultations you book by the slot

Pick a time that suits you, confirm it, and get a reminder before it starts. Reschedule from the same screen if the week turns.

Secure messaging between sessions

Questions rarely arrive on schedule. Send documents and follow-ups to your advisor in one private thread instead of scattered email.

Written notes and an action list

Every session ends with the points discussed and the next steps in writing, so nothing depends on what you remembered afterwards.

Tracked follow-up

Open items stay visible until they are closed. Your advisor sees the same list you do, which is what makes the second session useful.

Kept private by default

Your brief, files and threads are visible to you and the advisor working with you. Nothing is shared more widely than that.

Ways to work with us

Ask for one of these by name in your enquiry and we will confirm the fit before anything is booked.

Most requested

Single consultation

One booked session on one question, for when you need a considered second opinion and not a retainer.

  • Advisor matched to your subject
  • Scheduled session at a slot you choose
  • Written notes afterwards
  • One round of follow-up questions

Ongoing guidance plan

A continuing relationship with the same advisor, for decisions that unfold over months rather than an hour.

  • Recurring sessions with one advisor
  • Secure messaging between sessions
  • Tracked action list across the whole plan
  • Review of progress at each session

Small business review

A structured look across your operation with an advisor who works with owner-run businesses.

  • Intake brief and document checklist
  • Working session on priorities
  • Written summary of findings
  • Ranked next steps

Second-opinion session

You already have a plan or a proposal in hand and want an independent advisor to read it with you.

  • Documents reviewed before the call
  • Questions to put to the other side
  • Written note of what to check

Scope and fees are confirmed in writing before a session is booked — nothing starts until you have agreed to them.

What clients say about the sessions

★★★★★
I sent a messy description of my situation and got matched with someone who had clearly handled it before. The written notes were the part I did not expect and the part I keep going back to.
Marianne
★★★★★
Running a small shop, I never have a clean hour. Booking the slot and dropping documents into the thread beforehand meant the session started at the actual question.
Dev
★★★★☆
Plain-spoken and unhurried. My advisor told me which of my three options was not worth the trouble, and why, which is what I was paying for.
Priya
★★★★★
The follow-up list is what made the difference. Items stayed open until they were done instead of quietly disappearing after the call.

Before you enquire

How are advisors chosen?

Every advisor is reviewed before joining: relevant professional background, references from prior work, and a sample of how they write up a session. We match on the subject of your brief, not on who is free first.

What actually happens in a consultation?

You send a short brief and any documents beforehand, so the session opens on your question rather than on introductions. The advisor works through your options, the trade-offs and what to check, then writes it up afterwards.

Can I keep the same advisor?

Yes — continuing with one advisor is the point of the guidance plan, and single consultations can be extended with the same person. If the fit is wrong, tell us and we will rematch you.

Who is this for?

Individuals working through a decision on their own, and owner-run businesses without an in-house specialist. If your question needs a regulated professional we will say so plainly rather than take the booking.

How private is it?

Your brief, files and messages are held in one thread visible to you and your assigned advisor. We do not circulate your details to advisors who are not working with you.

Describe the situation. We will tell you who should hear it.

No obligation to book — the first reply is about whether we are the right fit.
