Fractional CFOSenior finance leadership, without the full-time hire
The strategic depth of a seasoned CFO — engaged part-time, scaled to what your company needs now. For founders and management teams who have outgrown bookkeeping but aren't ready for a full-time finance chief.
When good numbers stop being enough
Growth exposes the limits of an accounting-only finance function. Reporting arrives late, margins are a mystery, cash is a monthly surprise, and every investor or bank conversation means a scramble.
A fractional CFO gives you the judgement to fix that — someone who has built reporting systems, controlled costs, modelled cash and negotiated financing inside real companies, not just advised from the outside.

What a fractional CFO covers
A complete finance leadership remit — picked up in full, or focused on the areas where you need the most lift.
Accounting foundations
Setting up or strengthening the accounting function, defining and fine-tuning accounting policies, and handling atypical or complex transactions — including overseas accounting and group reporting.
Financial reporting
Statutory or IFRS financial statements, standalone or consolidated, plus a managerial reporting system — P&L, balance sheet and cash flow — designed and progressively automated.
Controlling & business intelligence
Margin and mix analysis at every level, production and standard costing, discount and pricing analysis, balanced scorecards, and a credit-control function that protects your cash.
Planning & forecasting
Complete budgeting exercises, rolling cash-flow forecasts, strategic business plans, investment-scenario appraisal and business-case modelling — across P&L, balance sheet and cash flow.
Financing & cash
Finding the right financing mix, obtaining and restructuring loans, overdraft and factoring facilities, and negotiating financing terms — so the company's lifeblood is never in question.
Finance processes & systems
Mapping financial flows, designing working procedures with clear owners and deadlines, and ERP advice — which system, which modules, and how to implement and customise them.
How we work together
Flexible by design. We calibrate the scope and rhythm of the engagement with you, and adjust as the business evolves.
Ongoing fractional CFO
A recurring monthly commitment — board reporting, forecasting, financing and finance oversight — for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Interim & project
Cover a finance gap, lead an ERP implementation, build a budgeting process, or stand up reporting ahead of a raise or transaction.
Process diagnostic
A focused review of your financial flows and controls, documented in flowcharts and procedures, with clear recommendations to strengthen them.
Analyse
We map your financial activities and processes through working sessions with the people who run them.
Document & design
Flowcharts and working procedures that set clear responsibilities and deadlines, with a main-activity list per role.
Improve & run
Recommendations to structure and strengthen the finance function — then ongoing leadership to make them stick.
Typical diagnostic and procedures phase: around 0.5–1.5 months, then a cadence that suits you.
