Why a Fractional Finance Director?
Hiring a full-time financial expert is expensive and often not feasible for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With a Fractional FD, you gain access to high-level expertise used by multinationals without the long-term commitment of a full time employee.
A Fractional FD works flexibly with your business to provide strategic financial guidance, streamline operations, and help your business thrive.

Challenges a Fractional FD Solves
1. Confusing Data and Metrics
Frequently a business is overwhelmed by financial and commercial data. However, what is the data indicating and what are the actions required?
I help businesses cut through the confusion.
By identifying the key measures, I will work with you to establish reports that provide clear insights to guide your business in the short and long term.
Let's start with one metric. Together we can work out how best to measure and then tackle the underlying issue.
2. Cash Flow Struggles
Running out of cash before the month end? Uncertain over the value and timing of the likely cash to be received?
Cashflow is often confusing and frequently creates tension.
Let me work with you to establish the underlying issues, whether it is chasing overdue payments or identifying cost-saving opportunities.
The output will be establishing a cash flow model that works. It is easily maintained and highlights key timings.
This is a fundamental building block required in successful businesses.
3. Stock Management Issues
Excess stock ties up capital and creates inefficiencies. I work with businesses to optimise stock levels, set minimums, and improve processes with suppliers. This frees up working capital and reduces the likelihood of costly stock write-offs.
