Seven Consulting

Seven Consulting
Hi, I’m Sheryl and I provide flexible senior management services for growing businesses and not-for-profits (NFPs), mainly in service-based industries, that don’t yet need — or can’t justify — a full time General Manager.

The flexible support that I offer is sometimes referred to as ‘fractional’. Although the term ‘fractional’ is widely known across other countries, it still a relatively new term here in New Zealand, but the concept is simple, sensible and practical.

It means you get senior-level skills and support for what you need, when you need it, for as long as you need it — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. It helps you balance the budget and deliverables while getting the results you need.

I work alongside your team, not above it. I embed into the day-to-day, keep things moving, get the stuck projects unstuck, solve problems and quietly strengthen what’s under the surface while I’m there.

So what does that look like in practice?

  • You need experienced cover for a period of time due to a resignation, parental leave, restructure or transition — so decisions aren’t made in panic

  • You’re setting up a brand-new service and want the structure, systems and software done properly from the start

  • You need to tighten up recruitment processes and systems, HR policies and procedures, so you can hire with confidence

  • Your managers would benefit from practical 1:1 support — especially common in NFPs

  • Projects, documentation, efficiency improvements or risk reduction work keeps slipping down the list

  • You just need someone to come in and get stuff done, help you solve problems and strategize with you

My job is to see how it connects — and get it working together.

I deliver full-time impact in flexible hours, building values-led operations that eventually run themselves.

If your organisation is growing, changing, or simply stretched, it might be time for steady senior support — without adding another permanent role.

With over a decade of wide-ranging experience across NFPs and for-profits, general management, operations, HR, systems, brand and more, I’m not just another consultant. I roll up my sleeves and work alongside you to actually get things done.

My business, Seven Consulting is grounded in my S.E.V.E.N Framework, built around Strengths, Evaluation, Voice, Execution, and Nurture, aligning every part so it runs in sync.

With a background in physiotherapy, a discipline grounded in systems working in coordination, I see organisations as living systems, where every element should support and strengthen the others. I bring structure where it’s missing, stillness where there’s noise, and momentum where things have stalled. The goal isn’t just to fix immediate problems, it’s to restore order and balance and bring the clarity needed for your business to run in harmony, so you can finally rest.

I’m known for delivering full-time results in flexible hours. My hands-on approach is to create values-led, fully connected, highly efficient businesses and organisations that don’t just function well, they just about run themselves.
