Virtual Finance Director
Outsource your finances to reclaim your time
A Virtual Finance Director provides everything an ‘in-house’ Financial Director would usually do, at a fraction of the cost. Best financial practises, full financial analysis and comprehensive financial planning.
“I don’t have enough time to do all this!”
You have a business you’re proud of.
You’ve worked hard to get it to where it is. But you never seem to have any time to work on the strategy needed to keep growing your business.
Instead you’re fighting fires, managing staff, dealing with customers, trying to win new business; all the while trying to make sense of your finances!
You know you need someone on board to drive your business forward, but you aren’t sure which financial systems to put in place and how to grow a team you can rely on.

The solution:
a Virtual Finance Director
Don’t let the word ‘virtual’ put you off, I’ll be at the end of a phone or an email and we’ll see each other on a monthly basis.
You’ll hand responsibility of managing your finance function to me. I become a combination of a sounding board, business coach, and strategic financial expert partnering up with you to help you achieve your business objectives.
It’s far more cost effective than spending £100k+ on a full time Financial Director and it’s flexible. You can increase or decrease your package depending on the needs in your business.

Non-exec Financial Director role assumed for third party credibility
If you are accountable to other shareholders or investors, or have taken on risk finance, you may be required to have a non exec Financial Director on board. I’m happy to perform that role for no extra cost within this package, to give you the credibility required and reassure your financiers.
The investment?
Often less than the hire of a junior member of your team.
The price of this service is fully deductible for tax purposes, which means that HMRC will refund you a portion of this cost subject to the rate of corporation tax you pay. Also note that there is no employer’s national insurance as there would be for an employed FD (saving 13.8%).
Monthly payment of my fees make it easier for you to budget.
