Strategy

A senior finance leader in your corner, without the full-time hire.

Strategic finance, on your terms

There's a stage in every growing business where where the existing finance resource, however capable, isn't quite enough, but a full-time CFO isn't quite the right move yet. That's exactly where we come in.

We embed into your business as a fractional CFO, attending board and senior leadership meetings, shaping business and financial strategy, building long-term and short-term  forecasts, defining and refining KPIs all whilst keeping a keen eye on risk. We're not advisors who parachute in once a quarter, we're an integral part of your team.

Between CFOs? We've got you

For businesses that find themselves without a CFO, whether through departure, growth or a planned transition, we provide experienced cover that keeps the finance function moving and the strategy on track. Some businesses use this as a bridge while they consider their options. Others find that the fractional model is exactly what they need long term. Either way, there is no pressure, we work to whatever timeline makes sense for you.

Supporting your existing team

If you have an in-house finance team, we don't come in to replace them. Developing and mentoring finance teams is something the team bring deep personal experience to. We work alongside your existing people, raising their game and filling the senior layer above them, so you keep the institutional knowledge you've already built while giving the team the leadership and development they need to grow with the business.
