Why outsource a Finance Director?

Oversight

Hiring a full-time Finance Director is difficult for many young companies as they are a very expensive resource. Companies in this position can benefit from having a part-time Finance Director with vital start-up experience who will do more than oversee the core accounting and compliance requirements.

A Finance Director will act as part of your team but with an independent mindset, asking the right questions and identifying the finance-related issues in your business. They will maintain high quality reporting to assist you in making key business decisions as well as and building on your internal processes to prepare you for your next stage of growth.

Flexibility & Support

We value our client relationships and use a personal approach to maintain them. Regular virtual meetings are a must and are arranged at times that suit you. If required, site visits can also take place.

We are passionate about start-ups and being part of your team process from innovation to the growth stage and beyond, is a privilege. The purpose of our Finance Director service is to support not only the business’ trajectory but its people. Where specialised advice is required, we draw on experience from our business partners within the core services team and tax team respectively.

Whilst exercises such as scenario building and KPI monitoring will give you the peace of mind that the company is on the right track, knowing that your finance department is being directed and managed in line with the company’s objective and culture, will free your time to focus on the strategy and future of the business.
