Lived Business Expertise
Thinking Outside the box – because we lived it
We are Rebecca Mallon and Helen Rogers two founders who built, scaled from zero to £1m turnover, and successfully exited a business of our own. OutCube exists to share everything we learned along the way: the real decisions, the hard moments, and the practical tools that actually move businesses forward.

No training qualifications. No theory.
Everything we share is drawn directly from our own experience of founding, growing, and selling the majority of our business — and from years of supporting other businesses to do the same.
Who We Are
Two founders who’ve been there.
We founded and led Matix Accounts Limited from a standing start — growing it from two people and a single client into a business with a team of fourteen and a client portfolio of eighty, including businesses turning over seven figures and employing up to a hundred people. We have since sold the majority of the business, maintaining a shareholding and also doing what we love most, helping others achieve what we did.
Our roots are in business and the accounting industry, but the businesses we have supported span a wide range of sectors. What unites them is ambition — and a desire to grow in the right way.
Co-Founder
Rebecca Mallon
Rebecca brings sharp commercial instinct and a gift for strategy. As co-founder of Matix Accounts Limited, she shaped both the business decisions and the team culture that allowed the practice to not only grow and thrive but also successfully complete a sale. Continuing as a Director and shareholder at Matix she is actively involved as their Finance Director. Through OutCube Rebecca works with leaders who want a straight-talking perspective from someone who has navigated the same pressures they are facing now and who need help steering their teams and processes in the right direction.
Practitioner, not a coach.
Founder
Helen Rogers
Helen’s greatest strength is establishing operational systems that actually work, and asking every day “what is your disaster recovery”! Her holistic approach to business and what systems and processes work best is tried and tested. In building Matix up to the point of the business sale it was her leadership of people; how they communicate, how they carry themselves, and how they grow into the professionals they are capable of becoming that was key to everyone’s success. She continues to work part-time at the business as a shareholder and Director. Just as she spent her time at Matix nurturing team members into confident, capable colleagues, and she brings that same energy and directness to every leader and team she works with at OutCube.
Practitioner, not a coach.

01
Leadership & Management Support
Our Leading & Building a Team programme gives managers the tools, structure and confidence to lead and not just cope day to day.
For those dealing with more complex or immediate challenges our Founder Sessions offer something different: honest, experience led conversations with people who have done it themselves. No theory, just what works.
02
Team Training & Development
We design and deliver practical sessions for your team based on what we saw work – and not work – when building our own team. Every session is hands-on, realistic, and immediately usable in the role your team does every day. Our core programmes include:
Real Conversations – helping teams pick up the phone, ask better questions, and build stronger client relationships.
Clear & Purposeful Communication – writing emails that get responses and move things forward.
03
Business Growth & Strategy
We grew a client base from one to eighty, and a team from two to fourteen. We know the decisions that matter most when you are scaling, the mistakes that are easy to make, and the opportunities that are easy to miss. Our Scaling Your Business programme focuses on the practical side of growth:
04
Professional Standards & Presentation
How your team presents themselves is not a soft skill, it is a commercial decision. Clients make decisions quickly and this forms their view on credibility, trust and professionalism. Through our Professional Standards & Presence session we work with individuals and teams on:
05
Communication Skills
Clear communication is one of the most undervalued skills in business. We help teams move away from overthinking, over-emailing and avoiding conversations. You want better client relationships, faster responses, fewer misunderstandings and a more confident team. Our programmes focus on:
Real conversations – building confidence on the phone and in live interactions.
Clear & Purposeful Communication – writing emails that are short, clear and actionable.
06
Founder Experience Sessions
Sometimes you don’t need a course, you just need to sit with someone who has done it before. Our Founder Sessions give leaders and managers the space to bring their real challenges and talk them through properly.
Cash pressure. Team issues. Difficult clients. Grown up decisions. Self-doubt. We’ve faced all of it building and scaling our own business and these sessions are built on that experience giving you a practical perspective and clear next steps.
Quick wins for new leaders & managers
These are not theories we have read in a book. We share the habits and principles that made the biggest difference — in our own business, and in the businesses of the clients we supported over the years.
One email, one question
Nobody has the time to sit and read a long email packed with questions. Keep each message focused on a single ask. You will get faster, more useful responses — and your clients will appreciate the clarity.
Pick up the phone
The telephone remains one of the most powerful tools in business — and most people are afraid of it. Building the confidence to make a clear, warm, purposeful call changes how clients perceive you from day one. We can show your team exactly how to do it.
Dress for where you are going
How you present yourself tells a story before you say a word. Dress for the clients you want, not just the ones you have. Dress for the role you are working toward. It matters more than most people realise – and it needn’t cost much to get right.
Ask Better Questions
The information you get back is only as good as the question you asked. We teach teams how to probe thoughtfully, listen actively, and follow up with precision – both with clients and with each other. It changes the quality of everything.
Invest in your team from the start
We grew from two employees to fourteen. The biggest lesson? The leaders who develop their people early, building their confidence, their communication, and their professional standards are the ones who build teams that actually perform.
Expect the Brick walls — and have support ready
Every growing business hits difficult periods. Cash pressure, difficult clients, team friction, self-doubt. The difference between businesses that push through and those that don’t is rarely ability – it’s having the right perspective alongside you before the brick wall appears.
Who we work with
Ambitious growing businesses from start ups to established firms, those looking to grow either organically or by acquisition or those who have just added to their structure by acquiring. Let us help by being that second pair of eyes and ears by way of our workshops or targeted consultancy to solve specific challenges, improve processes and performance, strengthen teams, and confidently move your business forward.
We are well-suited to support:
Let’s have an honest conversation
The first step is a conversation — no pitch, no pressure. We have built a business and can talk frankly with you about where you are, where you want to be, and whether we are the right fit to help.
