Sonnet and our values
We are a consultancy that provides financial, strategic and impact advice to organisations that want to improve their business performance and social impact.
As a Community Interest Company, we are proud to have committed to transferring 65% of our profits into a fund available to support social research programmes and other activities designed to address issues within the sectors we work in.
Our approach
We believe that every organisation that cares about its impact should be able to benefit from expert advice and guidance.
We can act as a sounding board, sharing in the development of solutions. We can manage the whole process or ‘chip in’ where we’re most useful. However we work, we keep our clients involved at every stage so they can both lead and learn.
