Case Study 01 Review
I highly recommend Carrie and her team at Sapphire 8, the team took the time to really understand the business and our values, their in-depth knowledge and experience meant that they were up and running quickly and seamlessly, and their ability to run our finances in a professional and supportive way has been a godsend. The impact on our business and on our team has been very positive. As a fast growing small business owner, I have found Carrie helpful, insightful, supportive, positive, and well connected to people and skills that we may need to move the business forwards. A delight and a pleasure to work with."

We have been very happy and relieved to be working with Carrie and Emma at Sapphire8.
