Independent IT and business consultant, based in Auckland, working with small businesses across New Zealand.
Most small business owners don't lack effort — they lack a translator. Someone who can sit between them and a developer, a router installer, or an IT support contract, and tell them plainly what's actually going on.
That's the job. Allan spends most of his time in the IT space — everything from choosing software to installing routers and sorting out ongoing support — but the constant is the same: working out what a business genuinely needs, then making sure the people delivering it actually deliver it.
The name is a promise about pace, not a promise that everything is simple. Some jobs are quick — an affordable, properly managed website is often the fastest one available. Some need proper project management over months. Either way, you get a straight answer about which one you're in before any money changes hands.
Allan isn't selling a certification wall. What he brings is pattern recognition — having sat through enough vendor pitches, botched handovers and half-finished builds to know which questions actually matter before a contract is signed.
A framed certificate tells you someone passed a test once. Watching someone stop a client from signing a $30k contract for software they didn't need tells you a lot more.
That's the kind of moment this is built around: catching the expensive mistake before it's made, not after.
If you know someone who just said "I have no idea what our IT person is actually doing" — that's the referral. It's the single most common reason people end up on this site.
