Your Virtual Finance Department; built for growing businesses

Is a Virtual Finance Department Right for You?

Our services start from £250 + VAT per month, depending on the level of support required.

If you want:

  • Better visibility over your numbers
  • Predictable financial systems
  • Proactive advice
  • Support that scales with you

We’d love to talk.

Let’s build a finance function that works for your business, not against it.

We specialise in helping the following businesses:

Businesses Ready to Scale

Scaling businesses often outgrow their bookkeeping before they realise it.

If you’re:

  • Hiring rapidly
  • Launching new services
  • Expanding locations
  • Seeking funding
  • Struggling with visibility over cash

It’s time for more than basic accounting.

Our Virtual Finance Department model gives you:

  • CFO-level insight
  • Structured monthly reporting
  • Forward-looking forecasts
  • Clear KPIs
  • Strategic financial oversight

Without the cost of a full in-house team.

Growing SMEs & Owner-Managed Businesses

For ambitious business owners who want better financial control, without hiring an in-house finance team.

We become your outsourced finance function, handling:

  • Bookkeeping and management accounts
  • Cash flow forecasting
  • Budgeting and financial planning
  • Payroll and compliance
  • Strategic reporting for decision-making

You focus on running the business.
We ensure the numbers support your growth.

Ideal for: Businesses turning over £250k–£5m who need structure, insight, and forward planning.

Start-Ups & Early-Stage Businesses

Starting strong financially sets the tone for everything that follows.

We help you:

  • Set up efficient cloud accounting systems
  • Understand your cash runway
  • Plan for funding and investment
  • Stay compliant from day one
  • Avoid costly early mistakes

Instead of reacting to problems, you’ll build with confidence.

Ideal for: Founders who want more than just year-end accounts, and value proactive financial guidance.

Service-Based Businesses

Service businesses live and die by margins, utilisation, and cash flow.

As your Virtual Finance Department, we help you:

  • Track project profitability
  • Improve pricing strategy
  • Monitor utilisation rates
  • Manage contractor and payroll costs
  • Forecast cash accurately

We turn your financial data into actionable insight, not just reports.

Ideal for: Consultants, agencies, professional services, and advisory firms.

Property & Investment Businesses

Property portfolios and investment structures require clarity, compliance, and tax awareness.

We support:

  • Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs)
  • Rental portfolio reporting
  • Tax planning and compliance
  • Dividend planning
  • Long-term financial strategy

With structured reporting and proactive advice, you’ll always know where you stand.
