Who we are
Box to Box provides clear, actionable coaching, mentoring, and consultancy to simplify strategy for businesses and improve personal finance. We bring practical, down to earth support for business owners who value having a trusted partner in their corner.
Founder and CEO Dave Golightly has worked in financial services to support northern UK SMEs for 20 years.
From working one to one with businesses to help them achieve their financial aspirations, to leading and developing high-performing teams, Dave has developed rich knowledge and experience.
Dave’s passion for seeing businesses transformed through effective coaching and mentoring, coupled with the trend in fewer opportunities for in-person support, led him to create Box to Box to meet that need.

We work with integrity and transparency in everything we do. Our clients trust us to provide honest, unbiased guidance that’s in their best interests. Clarity is at the core of our work – from our pricing to the support we deliver – so our clients are confident to make informed decisions every step of the way.

We collaborate closely with our clients to get a deep understanding of their vision and goals, and we deliver tailored support that exceeds expectations.
Our promise
We’re committed to building impactful, authentic partnerships. For us and our clients.
To ensure a strong start, we offer a discovery session with you as the business owner to build a solid game plan.
And if, within the first month, either you or Dave feels working together isn’t delivering its full potential, we’ll refund your monthly fee – no questions asked.
Sustainability
We strive to build a business that promotes sustainability through our operations. We prioritise eco-friendly ways of working and aim to inspire clients to adopt strategies that don’t just improve business performance, but contribute positively to the environment too.
The Box to Box pledge
We want to use our success to give back to local communities.
Inspired by our founder Dave’s own upbringing, we’re proud to partner with Gingerbread, a charity who champions single parents and their children.
To make a meaningful impact, Box to Box Financial Partner Limited will donate 5% of its net profits annually to Gingerbread.
This partnership reflects Dave’s deep commitment to create a better future for single-parent families, empowering them to thrive.
