Where Untangle Co fits

In the gap between professional advice and real life.

When life, work or family issues become complicated, it's hard to know what matters, what to do first, or whether professional advice is even needed. Often the practical issue is tangled up with stress, conflict, competing responsibilities or overwhelm — real layers that make it harder to see what actually needs to be done. Sometimes there's a lawyer or adviser in the picture; sometimes you're handling it entirely on your own. Either way, Untangle Co helps you find clarity and a next step.

Facing it on your own

Walk in prepared

Heading into a mediation, a hard meeting, or a decision you have to face on your own? We get you organised, clear on what matters, and ready to handle it with confidence.

Around professional advice

Make the advice count

Before you see a lawyer, accountant or adviser, we help you prepare for the right conversation — and once one's involved, we help you ask sharper questions and put the advice to work.

How it works

Support shaped around what you need.

Every engagement starts with a free 15-minute intro call — a no-cost way to check fit and scope. From there, support is tailored, and usually takes one of three shapes.

1

Clarity Session

A one-off, 90-minute conversation to unpack the situation, separate feeling from fact, and find the next clear step — with a short written summary afterwards.

2

Practical Support

Hands-on work — timelines, documents and correspondence organised — plus a call to talk it through. Walks you in ready for the conversation ahead, whoever it's with.

3

Alongside You

A block of time to draw on over the length of a difficult matter — steady, practical support across calls, preparation and planning your next steps, used as you need it.

Every engagement begins with a free 15-minute call, where we'll talk through what fits — and what it costs. Sessions start from $360.

For professional referrers

Refer the tangle — keep your time on your expertise.

Some matters carry more than their professional weight. When a client is overwhelmed, disorganised, or struggling to separate feeling from fact, the practical, non-expert labour eats into your time and theirs. Untangle Co takes that on — so your advice lands on a client who's ready to use it.

Your client arrives prepared

Documents in order, the timeline clear, the questions sharpened. The conversation starts where it should — with the matter, not the chaos around it.

Your hours stay on your work

We hold the organising, the chasing and the emotional weight, so your time stays on the advice and the work only you can do.

Bounded and independent

We don't give legal, financial or other regulated advice. We complement yours — clearly scoped, and never blurring the line.

Option one

Refer your client

Point your client our way. We engage with them directly and invoice them; you stay at arm's length, kept in the loop as far as is appropriate.

Option two

Engage us on your client's behalf

Engage Untangle Co to provide practical support for your client: we're retained by and invoiced to your practice, not your client. You recover our fixed-scope, clearly-quoted fee from your client as a disbursement.Hourly rate available on request.
