About Sideways CRM

The Attio specialist for investment and advisory firms. 35 successful Attio setups since 2023.

Your network is already your edge. I build the system that puts it to work - the right conversations surfaced faster, the connections others miss made visible, and nothing lost.

For firms where deals come from relationships - investors, advisers, brokers, dealmakers - I help you capture everything (relationships, conversations, history, documents), surface the connections others miss, and turn it into a system that compounds the more you use it. Built around how your firm actually works, not a generic sales funnel.

You work directly with me, a Founding Attio Expert Partner who understands this world and owns the outcome - and brings in trusted specialists when the work calls for it, so you get senior judgement without ever managing a developer.

Every engagement starts with a free 20-minute scoping session, moving to a Project to Partnership model - a clear first build, then an ongoing partnership to keep it sharp. Tell me where you are and what you're trying to achieve, and I'll come back with clear recommendations and next steps.

35+ successful implementations across M&A advisors, brokers, consulting firms, investment funds, VCs and boutique advisory.

Ben Brierley, Co-gency Corporate Finance
Working with Will was a great experience from start to finish. He helped us build an AI CRM system in Attio that integrates with our other systems exactly as we wanted. No question was ever too much trouble, and he was always willing to explain things and find solutions. He’s trustworthy, highly knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping his clients succeed. I know I can count on him for any future updates or improvements.

Are there enough positive adjectives to describe how Will has helped us? He's a responsive, knowledgeable, cost-effective expert with Attio and how it can be built, integrated, and made bespoke to our needs. 100% recommended.

Luke Smoothy, Get It Made Ltd
We worked with Will from Sideways CRM to help us get up and running with our Attio CRM. We sort of knew what I wanted, but quickly found a needed some expert help. So we contacted Sideways. Will helped us integrate Xero so quotes and invoices were visible to the correct companies in Attio. Will ironed out a lot. We communicated via slack, he had a client portal for visibility, and we had regular calls. Would strongly recommend!
Great experience - Highly reccommend

David Lincoln, Meridian
Over the past ~year, Will has helped our organization professionalize our sales process, enabling us to run advanced reporting, conduct detailed pipeline mgmt reviews, and key in on priority opportunities. We're a scaling (rapidly) startup, & never would have had the ability to take these efforts on ourselves at even a basic level, to say nothing of the advanced capabilities he's helped us unlock. Great experience start to finish and I look forward to continuing to work together in the future!
Clean, practical Attio setup that gave us structure

Vikram Rao, Sable Bio
Will set up Attio for Sable Bio and delivered exactly what I needed at this stage: a clean, reliable pipeline tracker with sensible structure behind it. He quickly understood how we sell and implemented clear Deal / Account logic, light MEDDPICC discipline, currency handling and weighted forecasting. Pragmatic, easy to work with, and strong on foundations without over-engineering.
