What an outsourced finance director does for you

An outsourced finance director gives your business senior financial leadership on a flexible basis, without the cost of a full-time hire. Acting as an extension of your business, we support your internal financial operations and your strategic decisions, including:

Signs your business would benefit

  • You're growing quickly, but cash always seems tight
  • You're making decisions based on your bank balance rather than a forecast
  • You're planning to borrow, raise investment or sell the business
  • Your margins are shrinking and you're not sure why
  • You're spending more time on finance than on running the business

Our guide to what an outsourced finance director does explains the role, and how it differs from your accountant, in more detail.

Finance director or accountant?

Your accountant keeps you compliant: year-end accounts, tax returns and filing deadlines. A finance director looks forward: what should happen next, what it will cost and how to fund it. Many growing businesses need both, and it helps when they work closely together. Because we provide both, your forecasts, bookkeeping, payroll and tax can all tell the same story.

Our Growth & Advisory plans include everything in our Limited Company plan, so alongside finance director support you get monthly bookkeeping and management reports, statutory accounts and Corporation Tax. That means your forecasts are built on up-to-date figures rather than last year's accounts.

CIMA-qualified support

Our team is CIMA-qualified. CIMA's Chartered Management Accountant qualification centres on management accounting and business decision-making, which is exactly what outsourced finance director work demands.
