Who We Are
​
​
​
​
​
​​
​
​​​
I founded Mellors Management Consultancy to bring the same rigour to two things most advisers treat separately: the numbers and the governance around them.
I'm a licensed accountant (AAT) and a practising board trustee - so the advice here isn't theoretical. It's built on what I do, week to week, in rooms where these decisions are made.
​
Two Ways We Help
​​
Governance Advisory Board assessments, trustee training, and the proprietary governance frameworks behind this site, including the UQMA Framework™, the UQMA+ Model™, and Board Ready™, a readiness diagnostic for people preparing to apply for their first board seat. Whether you already sit on a board, you're responsible for the people who do, or you're working out if you're ready to apply, this is where we help you see clearly and act with confidence.
​
Accounting & Compliance MTD-compliant bookkeeping, VAT, accounts preparation, and financial governance support - including for CQC-registered care providers, where financial oversight and regulatory compliance sit unusually close together. If you'd rather run your business than manage your books, this is that service, done properly.
​
Many clients start with one and stay for both. The same discipline runs through each.

Why Choose Us
​​
Practising, not theoretical. Every framework on this site comes from a live boardroom or a live set of accounts, not a template.
​
Published, not just promised. The UQMA Framework™ and UQMA+ Model™ are formally published with permanent DOIs under CC BY 4.0 — citable, verifiable, and open.
​
Both sides of the table. Running an independent practice means the accounting work is done by someone who answers to clients directly, not a hierarchy; trustee experience means the governance work is done by someone who has sat in the room being scrutinised, not just advised on it.
​
Proportionate, not generic. Whether it's a small business that wants its books handled properly, or a board that wants a genuine readiness diagnostic, the advice is sized to the organisation asking for it.
​​
Your Success Starts Here
​​
Whether you need your accounts handled properly or your board's decision-making genuinely strengthened, that starts with a conversation.
