Providing Project, Interim and Part-time Finance Director Services
Services
Every progressive business needs financial expertise on their journey, yet no two journeys will be identical and so what you require from your financial travelling companion may be different.
Part Time FD Services
Not all businesses require a full time Finance Director but they do require a regular guide to listen and advise on ideas, issues and obstacles you may encounter on your path. This could be as little as a day a month.
Project FD Services
Often there is a specific situation where you require a temporary guide to help you navigate through a complicated junction giving financial input to help determine the future direction of travel. A particular project could be pulling together the right financial information needed to assist in preparing a business for sale or finance raise, or providing a review into the credibility of your current financial information.
Interim FD Services
Sometimes businesses need a high-quality Finance Director for an interim period such as maternity cover or to help them weather a particular storm. I can assure you are in the hands of an experienced professional when such needs arise.
Modern businesses require high quality, flexible advice. Out with the uninspiring grey suited rigid accountant, in with someone who can provide clarity with energy and genuine passion for business.
A good FD understands that getting the areas below right are key to a successful business and these are some of the detailed services I can offer.
