Services
The Cavalry Group provides hands-on, experience-led consultancy across four core sectors, alongside a dedicated trade service for businesses looking to work across the China and Asia Pacific region.
Construction & Building
Strategic and operational consultancy for construction, development, and property businesses — from project structuring and growth planning to resolving operational bottlenecks.
Security
Risk-led advisory for security operators and organisations, informed by the discipline and composure under pressure Colin developed during his service in the Royal Army Medical Corps, combined with years of sector experience.
Finance
Practical financial and commercial guidance for businesses navigating funding decisions, financial structure, and growth strategy — plus full accounting, bookkeeping, and tax support for the day-to-day numbers.
Family Offices
Discreet, trusted advisory support for family offices on matters of wealth management, governance, and succession planning.
Accounting, Bookkeeping & Tax Support
Alongside our strategic finance advisory, we provide the accounting and bookkeeping support businesses need day to day — accurate books, VAT returns, payroll, management accounts, and tax planning, delivered by a qualified team working across Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent. Whether you need your books brought up to date, reliable monthly reporting, or a steady hand on year-end and tax, we can take it on.

China & Asia Pacific Trade Service
Led by Charles Lai, Founder & Principal of Jadebridge Partners Ltd, this service builds factory-direct supply chains for UK importers across China and the wider Asia Pacific region. Charles works on the buyer's side of the table — contracts and payments flow directly between client and verified factory, with no hidden margins. Drawing on his project management training and hands-on sourcing experience, the service covers supplier vetting, cross-cultural business practice, and practical support for businesses trading in the region for the first time.
