A board-level Finance Director, without the board-level salary.
The judgement of a board-level FD — ready from day one. Reads your numbers every morning, models the next decision before you make it, and tells you the truth in time to act on it.

Your bookkeeper reconciles. Your accountant files. Neither sits in the room when the real question comes.
Should we hire, should we take the contract, can we survive the slow quarter, is the price right, when do we push and when do we hold. That's the Finance Director's job — the person who reads the numbers every morning and models the decision before you make it.
At the scale you're now operating at, those decisions get bigger, faster, and more expensive to get wrong. And the calibre of person who answers them well costs £100,000–£150,000 a year — a hire that usually arrives after the big decisions have already been taken.
So we built one. A Finance Director who never sleeps, never misses a deadline, and never tells you what you want to hear instead of what you need to know.
Everything a great Finance Director does. On day one.
Three chapters. Know your numbers. Decide faster. Stay protected.
Know your numbers
The Command Centre
Live cash position, runway, burn rate, and the ratios that matter — always current. The first thing to check in the morning, and the last thing at night.
Bring your own numbers
Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent — or a CSV. Your Finance Director reads the columns, tells you exactly what was understood, and only writes the numbers you confirm.
Your Document Hub
Forward the letter you don't want to open. Read in seconds, told back in plain English, rated for urgency — and a reply drafted, ready for your review.
Twenty-five gigabytes, filed automatically, searchable forever.
The judgement that turns a good quarter into a great one, and a bad quarter into a survivable one. The kind of judgement that arrives at the scale where most businesses only have hindsight.
Cash Collection
The aged debtor ledger, read. Chasers drafted in the right register for how late it is — reminder, follow-up, firm, final notice — and sent only when you approve. Promises to pay are logged, and a date that passes escalates itself.
Nothing sends without you. Every step on record.
Decide faster
The Business Health Review
A 100-point score across six weighted dimensions — financial resilience, revenue quality, cost control, compliance, growth readiness, and risk. A written SWOT you can act on.
The Morning Briefing
What changed overnight, what's at risk this week, and the three decisions worth your time today. Read in two minutes on the way in.
Forecasting & stress testing
Base, growth and downside side by side — then stress-tested. What if the biggest customer leaves, what if rates rise, what if the deal slips a quarter.
You can't decide what to do about a number you haven't seen.
People Cost
Fully-loaded cost per hire, holiday liability, model-a-hire before you commit. The single most expensive line item, finally visible.
Board Meeting Packs
A full board-grade pack in minutes — exec summary, financial performance, cash & liquidity, tax, risks and opportunities. Ready to send.
Business Plan Export
Bank-ready and investor-ready. The numbers, the forecast, the risks and the plan — exported as a document you can walk into a meeting with.
Stay protected
Filings, prepared and ready
VAT, Corporation Tax and Confirmation Statements — drafted against your live numbers, checked, and waiting for your sign-off.
Contract Intelligence
Every supplier and commercial contract, read and remembered. Counterparty, value, renewal type, notice window, escalators — extracted and diarised. Nudged before an auto-renewal, not after.
Every letter, every contract, every insurance schedule. Auto-filed into the right folder, tagged for retention, and recallable in a sentence.
Built for the business that's moving fast.
Founders and directors running businesses with 2–50 people — past the chaos of year one, not yet big enough to justify a full-time finance hire.
Companies trading across borders who need to know what they don't know before HMRC or a foreign tax authority finds out for them. Directors who are good at the thing their business does, and want someone equally good at the thing it doesn't.
If you're checking your bank balance more than your forecast, if "we'll sort the VAT later" has ever been said out loud in your business, or if you've ever made a hiring decision on gut feel because nobody ran the numbers — this is for you.
