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.
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, and 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
- 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
Typical areas of support include
- Financial modelling and forecasting
- Cash flow planning and analysis
- Management reporting and performance review
- Budgeting and business planning
- Commercial analysis (pricing, sales and marketing performance)
- Development and improvement of financial reporting
- Year-end support and audit preparation
- Financial systems, processes and controls
- Data migration and reconciliations
Who this support is for
Owner-directors and growing businesses — businesses that need experienced financial input to support planning, forecasting and decision-making, without employing a full-time finance resource.
Finance Directors and finance teams — teams that require additional capacity or specialist expertise for projects, reporting development, system improvements or cover during periods of transition.
Experience
My experience includes supporting organisations across a wide range of sectors, working with both finance departments and management teams to deliver clear financial insight, robust financial models and practical solutions. This has included developing financial models to support budgeting and forecasting, supporting finance teams with reporting and year-end processes, and providing commercial analysis and project support to management and marketing teams.
