Business support delivered the right way.
Most entrepreneurs don’t fail because they’re not capable. They fail because they’re juggling too much, second-guessing every decision, or stuck without the right guidance when it really matters.
Blackline Academy gives practical, hands on support (not just advice) so you can finally move your business forward with less stress and more results.
What we do at Blackline Academy.
Whether you’re filling notebooks with ideas, stuck at the same turnover year after year, or trying to figure out how to hire your first employee. We meet you where you are!
Specialist Consultancy
It's as comprehensive as it gets. We'll spend time to really get to know you and your business, before drafting a plan and building a strategy that actually works.
Workshops & Support Programmes
From learning the stuff no one really teaches to diving into programmes that help you stop tinkering and make real progress, we’ve got you covered.
Community & Resources
Live webinars, pre-recorded content, downloadable tools, and in person events are just some of the things you can look forward to as part of the Blackline Academy community.
Why Blackline Academy?
You've probably tried hours of Googling, exhausted your Chat GPT allowance, downloaded loads of free templates, and have sat in countless workshops that never seem to hit the nail on the head. We get it, we've seen it thousands of times.
Blackline Academy is different because:
We're not here to drown you in theory.
We're here to help you do the work. Every session ends with actions you'll actually implement, not another folder of unused resources.
You'll always have a real person at the other end of a WhatsApp chat.
When you're stuck on something at 9pm on a Tuesday, the last thing you want to do is speak to a chatbot. (That's why we're here!)
Everything we do is built around one thing.
Our aim is to help you make progress you can see, not just plans for another day. We measure success by what changes in your business, not by how many documents we produce.
We deliver face-to-face or online.
We know schedules aren’t static and priorities shift constantly. That’s why we offer hybrid support, so our work fits your business and makes it easy to get the support you need.
Who We Work With
You've got the spark but no roadmap, and you're sick of wondering if you're "doing it right." You need someone to validate your idea, help you structure it properly, and give you the foundations to build on... without the overwhelm.
(1-3 years in)
You're working all hours but growth feels like it's stalling. Your income's inconsistent, you're not sure what your margins actually are, and you're exhausted from carrying everything yourself. You need structure, accountability, and a clearer way forward.
(3+ years)
You've outgrown your existing setup. It's time to build systems, hire smart, and stop carrying the whole business on your back. You need strategic planning, financial modeling, and someone who understands what it takes to scale sustainably.
About Our Founders...
Tomas Phillips brings fifteen years of experience supporting entrepreneurs through every stage of business from "is this even viable?" to preparing for serious growth. He's seen the patterns, knows what trips people up, and specialises in cutting through confusion to get you moving.
Alexis Charkiw is a qualified accountant with almost twenty years in entrepreneurship and SME finance. She's spent two decades explaining to business owners that "rough idea" isn't a financial strategy, and helping them build the numbers confidence they wish they'd had from day one.
What Our Clients Say
Business doesn't come with an instruction manual, but it should come with the right support.
You don’t need another motivational quote or generic business tip. You need someone who’s been there, understands your situation, and can help you work through it properly.
