Our projects
We work with a range of clients from ESG consultancies, to accounting institutes and sustainability/finance training providers. This breadth of work supports up-to-date technical theory and leading edge practical implementation.



01
Nature guidance for the global accountancy profession
In 2024 Rosie worked with the ICAEW and the Global Accounting Alliance as the lead author of a global framework for integrating nature into accounting practices.
​
By exploring why nature is essential to the profession and introducing overarching nature-related concepts, the guide offers a pathway for professionals to align their roles with these critical issues. With dedicated sections for Board Members, Senior Managers, Analysts, Report Preparers, and Assurers, readers can focus on practical actions relevant to their specific responsibilities, connecting nature to their day-to-day activities.​
02
Transition planning e-learning
Rosie worked as the transition planning subject matter expert for the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. She provided expert guidance in the design and development of a 5 hour e-learning course on climate transition planning for accountants. This leveraged the Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT) Transition Planning cycle, expanding and developing targeted guidance for the role of a professional accountant to meet the TPT disclosure requirements.


03
Application of IFRS S1 and S2


Blue Crane Consulting produced a series of reports and webinar support for Sillion to assist their technical interpretation and application of the inaugural IFRS sustainability standards, S1 (General Requirements) and S2 (Climate-related Disclosures).
​
This consisted of interpretation of the S1 and S2 standards, technical terminology and requirements, and associated documents. This was supplemented by additional IFRS/IASB guidance, presented for a non-finance technical audience.
​
This included producing a summary of S1 and S2 disclosure requirements; summarising the Transition Plan Taskforce disclosure framework requirements included in S2; pairing these with a template core data request needed to fulfil these obligations.
04
ICAEW Sustainability Certificate
​​
Corporate course
We authored the ICAEW’s flagship training for Chartered Accountants on sustainability, which is now the fastest selling course in ICAEW history.
This 15 hour, online on-demand content focusses on integrating sustainability into reporting, risk management and decision-making processes following an engaging, practical and pragmatic approach. This included leading workshops to identify training needs; writing all content including a 2-hour case study exam; filming over 30 video shorts to share insights from subject matter experts and accountants applying ESG.
Public sector course
Building on this foundation, Blue Crane Consulting adapted the course to develop a public sector version for the UK government’s finance function (GFF), working closely with members of the GFF to develop bespoke content that follows the government’s Green Book guidance.

07
Earthly advisory board
From 2021 to 2024 Rosie supported Earthly in its mission to help companies invest in nature through high quality nature-based solutions that remove carbon, restore biodiversity and improve livelihoods.
Rosie supported the development of Earthly’s framework to assess nature-based solutions projects, using a natural, social and human capital lens, and authored ‘Preparing for the net-zero economy – is business weathering the storm?’
08
OFI Natural Capital Accounts
In 2021 Rosie supported Little Blue Research to follow the new BSI standard on natural capital accounting (BS 8632) to produce a natural capital profit & loss account and balance sheet for one of Olam’s food ingredients.
​
This role had a specific focus on connecting the natural capital accounts to the financial statements. Providing technical advice to identify and value key impacts and dependencies, Rosie’s unique expertise allowed her to engage the finance team and support integration of these outputs into financial processes.
