Experienced fractional CFOs for established UK businesses. Manufacturers, agencies, trades and service businesses. Vetted operators who have run finance in companies like yours, embedded and delivering from day one.
Start with a Finance Health Check, or go straight to a monthly package. Full detail, including what each one covers, is on the pricing page.
See full pricingMost founders reach a point where financial decisions outgrow spreadsheets and bookkeeping. That is the point at which a CFO earns their place.
A CFO owns the financial strategy of a business. Not the bookkeeping or the monthly close, but the decisions those numbers inform.
They build the forecasts, budgets and management reporting that give you a clear view of where the business is heading, and what to do about it.
That becomes critical as you grow. Margins get thinner, cash gets tighter, and the cost of a poorly informed decision rises sharply.
Your CFO isn't a name on a slide. They're in the numbers, in the detail, and reachable when you need an answer by Friday. Embedded from week one, not eased in over a quarter.
Most owners are running on year-old accounts and a gut feel for cash. Proper management accounts, a 13-week cash flow, and someone to read them with you changes how you make decisions.

Matched to your size, sector, and situation: not a generalist, a specialist.
We match you with a CFO who has already run finance in a business like yours, not a generalist hire. Your CFO embeds directly into the business, sits in on the decisions that matter, and takes ownership of the financial side from week one.
Budgets and forecasts built from scratch, in a model you can actually use.
A good model is the engine behind every significant decision: hiring, pricing, capital spend, taking on debt. Your CFO builds it from scratch, then owns and updates it as the business changes, so you are never deciding blind.
Monthly reporting to a professional standard, delivered on time, every time.
Management accounts turn raw numbers into something you can act on. Your CFO prepares the P&L, cash position, KPI dashboard, and a plain-English summary every month, then walks you through it, so you are not left decoding a spreadsheet.
Bank facilities, asset and invoice finance, and grant applications, properly presented.
Lenders and funders back businesses whose numbers stand up to scrutiny. Your CFO prepares the figures, handles the questions, and negotiates terms, so you are going in with a case rather than a hope.
Rolling 13-week cash flow forecasts, so you always know what is coming.
Profitable businesses still fail when cash runs dry. Your CFO owns a rolling 13-week forecast, flags a squeeze well before it arrives, and makes sure payroll week is never a surprise.
The handful of numbers that actually run your business: built, tracked, explained.
Most businesses track either nothing or far too much. Your CFO works out the handful of measures that genuinely drive your results, tracks them consistently, and explains what moved and why each month.
Which jobs, products and customers make money, and which quietly cost you.
Most owners know their overall margin but not where it comes from. Your CFO breaks profitability down by product, service, contract and customer, then works with you on pricing and cost so the mix improves.
Clean books and a credible story, whether you are selling or handing over.
A sale or succession lives or dies on whether the numbers hold up. Your CFO gets the books clean, builds the financial story, and prepares the diligence materials, working alongside your accountant and solicitor through to completion.
Only senior operators with real experience running SME finance functions.
Every CFO in our network is vetted for real operating experience, not just qualifications on paper. Only people who have genuinely carried the finance function in a business of your size are ever put forward to you.
90 minutes. We get to know your business, where the finance function is today, and what is actually getting in your way. This shapes the match. Credited against month one if you proceed.
One or two vetted candidates presented promptly. Matched on sector, stage, and temperament. You meet them, with no commitment required.
Rolling monthly engagement, with management accounts, cash flow forecasting, and KPI reporting delivered from month one and quarterly oversight reviews throughout.
