Pricing

Start where you are.
Move up when the business outgrows it.

Most growing businesses don't need a finance director on day one. They need to stop guessing. Every level below gives you numbers you can act on. The difference is how much of the thinking we do with you.

Know what your numbers mean

£650/ month

Right for you if you get financial reports and they don't change a single decision you make.

Includes

  • Quarterly written finance review and commentary
  • Live dashboard of your core numbers
  • Cash position and short-term cash outlook
  • Profitability and margin review

Direction

Your finance function, run properly

£1,450/ month

You're winning bigger work, hiring, and making decisions faster than your reporting can support them. This is where the numbers start arriving before the decision, not after it.

Right for you if your business is growing and finance is the thing lagging behind it.

Everything in Clarity, plus

  • Your day-to-day finance function
  • Management accounts produced and explained
  • Rolling cash flow forecasting

Finance leadership at the table

£2,750/ month

Right for you if you need someone accountable for direction, planning and commercial judgement.

Everything in Growth, plus

  • Senior finance leadership on your key decisions
  • Strategic and scenario planning, modelled properly
  • Your operating data connected into one live performance view

Before you decide

The questions people actually ask

Worth answering here rather than three emails into a conversation.

Isn't this more than my accountant charges?

Yes. Your accountant files what already happened. We work on what happens next: what the numbers mean, where margin is leaking, and what to do about it before the quarter closes. Different job, different price.

We already have an accountant. Do we have to move?

No. We sit alongside your existing accountant and work from the same records. Plenty of clients keep the relationship they have and add the thinking on top.

What if we pick the wrong level?

You can move up or down as the business changes. If you start on Clarity and it becomes clear you need the function run, we say so rather than letting you pay for reports you cannot act on.

How much of our time does this take?

Setup takes a few hours of your finance or admin team's time in the first fortnight. After that it is one conversation a quarter at Clarity, and a working rhythm at Growth and above.

Our numbers are a mess. Is that a problem?

It is the normal starting point. We tell you what needs fixing before it can be relied on, and whether that is a one-off tidy-up or something structural.

How quickly do we see anything useful?

Your first full reporting cycle is where the value shows up. Before that you get an honest read on what your current numbers can and cannot tell you.

What happens next

The first 90 days

Whichever level you start at, the beginning looks the same. No long onboarding project, no discovery phase you pay for twice.

01

Strategy call

We look at where the business is now, what the numbers are being used for, and which level fits. If none of them do, we say that.

02

Access and setup

We connect to the systems the business already runs on and get your numbers into one place we both trust.

03

First reporting cycle

Your first review lands: what moved, what it means, and the two or three things worth acting on before next month.

04

Ninety day review

We look back at what changed, agree the rhythm from here, and confirm you are at the right level.

Not sure which level you need?

Most people are not, until someone looks at the numbers with them. One call is usually enough to tell.
