OUTSOURCED FINANCE DIRECTOR SERVICES Do you spend more time than you should managing the finance functions of your business? Would you like better financial information every month … providing you with the data you need to make key business decisions?
So, more and more businesses are recognising the benefits of outsourcing this role. We offer a flexible bespoke service to our clients, providing high-level financial expertise that they do not already have in-house, and working with them for anything from one day a month upwards. You may want us to assist you for the following reasons: Needing better financial information You may find that you are unable to make decisions because you don’t know where you are. You don’t have enough information about how your business is performing. You simply don’t know how profitable your business is, or if you can afford to expand or employ more staff. We can help you by: Producing regular, timely, and accurate management accounts. These will show you how your business is performing; giving you the information you need to make the important decisions, and to control the business. Providing monthly or quarterly financial reports for the Board of Directors. These will include an executive summary of the management accounts, key performance indicators, and relevant graphs. You may want us to attend Board Meetings or management team meetings to discuss and explain financial issues. Ensuring that you have an appropriate accounting system for the size and type of business. This will help you to ensure that you have all the information you require, and that your time and your staff’s time is being used efficiently. Supporting your book-keeping staff, so that they have someone to refer to when they have questions and problems. You will find that your accounts department runs more smoothly and that your staff’s ability is developed. Designing and implementing procedures to help your business run more smoothly and profitably. In short, we aim to help you "do it better and do it quicker". Dealing with cash flow issues and raising finance You may come to us because you need help to raise finance in order to grow your business. If you feel that you don’t have the necessary expertise to do this by yourself and want access to some expert help and advice, we’ll help you to present the best case to potential lenders and investors. Despite tales of doom and gloom at the moment, there are banks who are prepared to lend when they see the right sort of proposition, and Business Angels, Private Investment Syndicates and Venture Capitalists appear to have rediscovered their appetite for investment. We will prepare budgets and forecasts for the future. These will help you to identify when cash flow problems might arise, and we will then help you to find a strategy for dealing with them. These forecasts will also enable you to identify how much finance you need to raise, and will be a key part of the proposals presented to lenders and investors. Wanting a "sounding board" Running a business can be lonely. Working with us will give you access to another "business brain" to bounce your ideas off, and whose knowledge and experience you can tap into. As well as looking at short to medium term issues with you we can assist with long term planning, including exit strategies. I already have a book-keeper and an accountant.
