OUR SERVICES
Fractional CFO & FD Services
Hands-on finance leadership for growth, change and important business decisions.
Can the business afford its next hire? Will growth put pressure on cash? Are the numbers ready for a lender or investor to scrutinise?
We work alongside owners, boards and finance teams to answer those questions and put the decisions into practice.
What we can take on
Lead and support the finance team
Set priorities, strengthen financial controls and give your existing team senior support when decisions need to be made.
Improve board and management reporting
Build a board pack that explains what changed, why it matters and what needs a decision. Review results and agree the next steps with your leadership team.
Manage cash through growth and change
Build a rolling cash flow forecast. Test the effect of a delayed payment, a new contract or a planned hire, then agree what to do and when.
Prepare for funding, investment or a sale
Build and test forecasts, prepare supporting information and help management answer questions from lenders, investors or buyers.
