what we do in summary
We provide part-time Finance Director services.
Many organisations do not need, or cannot currently afford the services of a full time Finance Director. This can be detrimental to an organisation achieving it's goals.
There may be occasions where an experienced eye is needed to provide more than a company is getting from it's own finance team or from it's auditors. This is about providing a service that adds value to a company, not just about ticking boxes.
A lot of people have a view that a Finance Director should be managing the Finance Team - making sure that numbers are produced at the end of the month; that suppliers are paid; that customers are chased to make sure they pay.
WRONG - this is the role of a Finance Manager or Financial Controller
