FRACTIONAL CFO
Strategic financial leadership for business owners who want to grow deliberately- not reactively
A trusted senior financial expert who knows your numbers inside out — without the cost of a full-time hire.
Strategic financial leadership for business owners who want to grow deliberately — not reactively. For UK limited companies · £750k–£5M+ turnover · From £3,000/month · Minimum 6 months
This is a strategic advisory service — an additional monthly engagement, separate from and in addition to any bookkeeping or Virtual Finance Office service.
The problem this solves
At this level, the numbers are usually in reasonable shape. That's not the issue.
The issue is that having numbers is not the same as knowing what to do with them.
Business owners at this stage often find:
• Significant decisions — investment, pricing, new markets, team growth — are being made without a senior financial voice involved
• The business has grown to a point where instinct alone isn't enough, but there's no in-house expertise to challenge or pressure-test it
• Financial conversations with banks, advisers or key stakeholders feel like something they face without proper support
• Growth is happening — but it doesn't feel as deliberate or as controlled as it should A full-time CFO addresses all of this — but at £150,000+ a year, it's rarely the right move.
What changes when this is working properly
When a senior financial expert is genuinely involved in your business:
• The biggest decisions are made with proper financial thinking behind them — not just instinct
• Commercial strategy is actively reviewed and improved on a regular basis
• You have someone who understands your business deeply and challenges thinking when it needs challenging
• Financial conversations with your bank, advisers and key people feel different — because they are
• Growth stops feeling like a leap and starts feeling like a considered, financially informed move forward
• You stop busy but broke growth — and start building profit that actually stays in the business
WHO THIS IS RIGHT FOR
This stage suits you if:
• You run a UK limited company with £750k–£5M+ turnover
• You're facing significant decisions and want experienced financial thinking involved
• You want more than reporting — you want someone who understands your business and helps you think clearly about what to do with it
• You're ready for a genuine working relationship, not a quarterly advisory call This is not a bookkeeping service and does not include the production of management accounts.
It works best alongside the Virtual Finance Office — or an existing in-house finance function.
What we do differently
A Fractional CFO relationship works because it's built on deep familiarity with your business. Not a consultant who reads a briefing before each meeting. Someone who knows your numbers, your history, your goals and your challenges — and brings that understanding into every conversation. You gain a financial sounding board — not another admin function. Senior experience. Genuine involvement. Without the full-time cost.
