Virtual Finance Director
Your finances in safe hands
Uncovering the reality behind the “drama” of business ownership
You probably started your business for these reasons: freedom to work when and where you wanted. Control: over your life so you can do the things you love. Money: to enable you to do the above without worrying.
But now that you’re in business, the dream is far from reality! You’re the MD of your company, but what you do every day is not the strategic work you should be doing. Instead, you spend your time putting out fires, keeping track of your cash flow, and trying to get new clients.
The problem
Many companies hire a finance director as they grow to make sure their finances stay stable in the long term. There is a good reason why every big company has one: the job is important for setting strategy and making sure the company stays in business.
But for small businesses, hiring a full-time or even part-time FD is usually too expensive. The average salary in the UK is £71,633, not including bonuses and benefits. In London, it’s £108,534. It may seem impossible to get that level of expertise, but that’s exactly what smaller businesses need most, and that’s where we come in.
The solution
We provide a bespoke Virtual FD service to small businesses at often, less than the cost of a junior staff member.
Don’t let the word ‘virtual’ put you off. It may be techy sounding but our service is very much based around the human element and giving you access to our team of experienced Finance professionals who have managed the entire finance function for other businesses like yours.
What benefits can a Virtual FD bring to you?
Perhaps the main benefit is the comfort of being able to hand responsibility of managing your finance function to someone else to let you concentrate on what you’re good at and growing your business.
It’s essentially a combination of a sounding board, business coach and strategic financial expert partnering up with you to help you achieve your business objectives.
