Strategic CFO

Board-level financial leadership to support growth, change and complex decisions.

Many businesses reach a point where they need experienced financial leadership, but not necessarily on a full-time basis. Our Strategic CFO service provides senior, hands-on support to help you make better decisions, improve cash performance and build a finance function that can scale with the business.

 

We work alongside founders, boards, private equity investors and senior management teams, providing practical, commercial advice shaped by real experience of building, financing and exiting businesses.

 

How we help?

Our Strategic CFO support is tailored to the needs of each business, but typically includes:

  • Board-level financial leadership and strategic input

  • Cash flow management and forecasting

  • Financial planning and analysis (FP&A)

  • Support with funding, refinancing and lender relations

  • Budgeting, reporting and KPI development

  • Finance function design and improvement

  • Support for acquisitions, disposals and investment rounds

  • Stakeholder and investor communication

When a Strategic CFO adds value

Our clients typically engage us when:

  • The business is growing quickly and needs stronger financial control

  • The founders want better visibility over cash and performance

  • External funding is being raised or refinanced

  • The business is preparing for sale or acquisition

  • The finance function needs to be professionalised

  • There is no full-time CFO, or the existing team needs senior support

A practical, commercial approach

We are not career advisers who have only ever sat on the sidelines. We have built, financed, restructured and exited businesses ourselves. That experience shapes the advice we give and the decisions we help you make.

Our role is to act as a trusted strategic partner, bringing clarity, discipline and commercial judgement to the most important financial decisions in your business
