Our Part-Time FD service is headed up by Ashley Deakin (ACA).

Spring Cleaning – A part-time FD perhaps?

Spring is in the air, so it’s time for a spring clean…

Not only do we provide bookkeeping & accounting services ensuring your statutory obligations are met, we also assist in moving your business forward  & looking to the future with our Part-Time FD service. We have been helping many of our clients with our part-time Financial Director service as part of their spring cleaning process coming out of the recession.  Everyone can benefit from the input of a part-time FD… from our “one man bands” right up to the larger businesses. Some of our FD projects have included: assisting clients with valuing their businesses for potential investors, establishing  more profitable and industry aligned charging structures, introducing financial management processes to enable more informed decision making, reviewing current business structures, cash flow and variance analysis and general streamlining of the financial function.

Clients have indicated that they wished they had experienced the input of a part-time FD years ago, now that they can see the benefits.  If you would like to find out more about how you could benefit from the input of a part-time FD, please feel free to give us a call and we will be happy to tell you more about this service.
