Who we are

Because compliance isn't enough.

We're a small team of experienced finance people. Most of our clients have grown past what a bookkeeper can tell them, but a full-time finance director is more than they need and more than they want to pay for. You work with one of us directly, using the systems you've already got.

20+

Years of senior finance experience

Behind every engagement, not just the pitch.

1

Named lead, every month

The same person each time. Not a different account manager each quarter.

1 hr

Of your time in the first thirty days

That's the whole ask. No migration, no new software.

Who we are

Most growing businesses don't need a bigger finance team.

They need sharper thinking applied to the finance function they already have. We work with product brands, software companies, managed IT providers and design and engineering practices: businesses that agree a price before they know the true cost, where profit is decided in the months after the sale rather than at it.

What doesn't change

Four commitments we make on every engagement.

Senior by default

You work directly with an experienced finance professional. No junior delivery team, no handoffs between quarters.

Built around your business

We work with the people and the systems you already have. Read-only access, no migration, no timesheet overhaul.

Commercially minded

We care about what the numbers mean for your next decision, not just whether they reconcile at the end of the month.

Proportionate

Enough structure to scale, never more process than the business can carry. Reporting only where it earns its place.
