What clients say
We really needed an organisation who could understand what we were trying to achieve. We needed an organisation who could conceptually grapple with the problems and help us and solve them. That kind of responsiveness and diligence, in terms of analytical thinking and tool development, was such a massive support to us. Simple and Engaging went totally above and beyond.
David has been an outstanding advisor for our company. He understands everything from corporate governance and board strategy to operations and customer engagement. There have been numerous instances over the past two years when his timely foresight and guidance enabled us to accelerate our position in the market. Hire David and you will never spend a penny you’ll only be investing in a significant ROI for yourself!
Simple and Engaging were really good at finding that balance point between not over-engineering, but also making sure it was fit for purpose. We needed to work with someone like yourself who could sort of be a ‘partner in crime’ as we stepped through this process that we hadn’t done before.
Simple and Engaging have been a great partner for us, helping us with technology solutions that were within our budget and just work. I think the most impactful part they’ve played is helping us to open our eyes to digital transformation – we are starting to think how technology can help us in other parts of our business.
How we help
We start by understanding what’s not working.
Then work out the simplest way to fix it.
Everything is built around how your organisation actually works.
Not the other way around.
We keep things practical, manageable and proportionate.
No unnecessary complexity.
We work with you, not just for you.
Our focus is making the work easier to run for you and your team.
What it’s like to work with us
We keep the process straightforward so you know what’s happening and what comes next.
1. We listen first
We take the time to understand what is making work harder than it should be, where the pressure is landing and what a better setup would look like for your team.
2. We show you practical options
You’ll get a small number of realistic options that fit your situation, your team and your budget.
We’ll talk through the pros, cons, and trade-offs so you can decide what makes sense.
3. We agree what’s in scope upfront
Before any work begins, you’ll know exactly what we’re doing and what it will cost.
No surprises. No hidden costs.
4. We put it in place and support you
Once we start, we keep the work moving without creating extra load for your team.
If you need ongoing support, we can provide it without locking you into long contracts.
If we don’t think we can genuinely help, we’ll tell you upfront.
When we’re most useful
We’re most useful when things are working, but taking too much effort to hold together.
When too much of the work is being held together manually
We help you reduce repetitive admin, sort out clunky processes and take manual work off the team where it makes sense.
When your setup is patchy and the team is doing too much of the connecting by hand
We help you create a simpler setup so information moves more easily and the team does less double-handling.
When reporting takes too long or no one fully trusts the numbers
We help you make reporting clearer, more reliable and less stressful to produce.
When you know something is not working, but you are not sure what to fix first
We help you work out what is actually causing the problem, what can wait and what to do next.
Not sure if this is the right kind of help? We’re happy to talk it through with you.
What pricing usually looks like
Every organisation is different, so pricing depends on the problem you need solved and how much support you need.
What we can promise is simple:
We will recommend the simplest approach that makes sense for your budget and your team.
Some projects focus on solving one clear problem. Others are broader pieces of work. It depends on what is going wrong, how messy the current setup is and how much change is needed.
With a smaller budget, we usually focus on one problem that will make a noticeable difference.
With a larger piece of work, we can tackle more of the setup and reduce more of the manual effort across the team.
Before any work begins, you’ll know:
✔ what we’re doing
✔ what it will cost
✔ what happens next
So you can decide without guesswork.
Making the work easier to run
A lot of non-profits and small businesses are getting the work done, but it takes too much effort to hold things together. Manual work builds up. Reporting gets harder than it should be. And too much depends on people remembering how everything works.
We help you sort out messy ways of working and use technology where it genuinely helps, not just because it is available.
Our focus is simple: make the work easier to run, reduce manual effort and make reporting easier.

When the work is growing but the setup has not kept up
If you’re a non-profit or small business, you may feel like the team is doing more and more work by hand just to keep things moving.
You might know something needs to change, but not be sure what the real problem is, what is normal, or what to fix first. That’s where we come in.
We help you fix the right things in the right order, with practical changes that fit your organisation and do not turn into a large tech project.
At Simple and Engaging, we help organisations with:
- Help working out what is actually slowing the team down
- Simpler processes that people can actually follow
- Less time lost to repetitive admin and patching things together
- Reporting that is easier to produce and easier to trust
- Practical changes that feel manageable for a small team
All in a way that feels manageable.
You do not need to become a technology expert.
Your job is to run the organisation. Ours is to help make the work easier to run.
