Strategic Board-Level Advice
We move beyond historical data to provide forward-looking strategic advice. As your Virtual FD, we attend board meetings to challenge assumptions, present financial insights, and support decision-making. Whether you are planning a new product launch, entering a new market, or considering a pivot in strategy, we model the financial implications to ensure your decisions are grounded in financial reality.
Advanced Management Reporting
To drive performance, you need to measure what matters. We implement and oversee robust management reporting systems, producing monthly packs that go far beyond standard profit and loss accounts. We develop Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) specific to your industry, providing you with a dashboard of metrics that give you instant visibility over the health and trajectory of your business.
Cash, Funding, and Stakeholder Management
Managing relationships with external stakeholders is a key FD responsibility. We act as your representative with banks, investors, and auditors, adding a layer of professional credibility to your business. We manage complex cash flow requirements, negotiate funding facilities, and ensure that covenants are met, giving lenders confidence in your financial governance.
Mentoring and Team Development
If you have an existing finance team, we can provide mentorship and oversight to help them grow. We review internal controls, streamline processes, and train your staff to produce higher-quality data. By elevating the capabilities of your internal team, we ensure that the finance function becomes a strategic asset rather than just an administrative cost centre.
