Fractional Finance & Business Support

Flexible financial expertise, available when you need it.

Many businesses don’t require full-time senior finance support — but they do need experienced input at key points. This might be during periods of growth, when making important decisions, or simply when additional capacity or expertise is needed within the finance function.

Drawing on over 30 years’ commercial accounting experience, I provide flexible, on-demand support to business owners, management teams and finance departments.

This can be delivered on a project basis, as interim support, or through an ongoing support arrangement, giving you access to experienced financial input when required, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

How this works in practice

Support can be put in place on an ongoing basis, so that help is available when needed, rather than having to engage from scratch each time.

This means:

• you have someone who understands your business
• support can be accessed quickly when required
• there is no delay in getting up to speed

Work may involve supporting business owners directly, or working alongside existing finance teams and Finance Directors.

When this type of support is useful

This type of support is particularly valuable when:

• Month-end or reporting processes are under pressure
• Cash flow or financial visibility needs improving
• The business is growing or going through change
• There is a gap in the finance team (planned or unexpected)
• Additional expertise is needed for a specific project or decision

Who this support is for

Businesses that need experienced financial input to support planning, forecasting and decision-making, without employing a full-time finance resource.
