Your numbers aren't telling you what you need to know
You've got someone doing the books. Maybe even a decent Management Accountant or Head of Finance. But you're still flying blind.
The numbers arrive three weeks late. Every conversation is about last month's problems, not next year's opportunities. You know your business has more in it, but the path from here to there?
That's fuzzy.
You've looked at hiring a CFO. Then you saw the price tag. £100k+ for someone good, and you'd need them full-time. The agents shrug and offer you a mid-level accountant for £70k instead.
Here's the thing: you don't need full-time. You need the right time.
A few hours or days a month with someone who's actually done this before. Someone who can see around corners, spot the leverage points, and help you make the moves that matter.

What I've actually done
Track record of delivering tangible results
Took a £6m food manufacturer from breakeven to 30% net profit in two years.
Led an £8m business through COVID when their biggest customer (70% of revenue) stopped ordering for nine months and kept it afloat and cash positive.
Managed multiple due diligence processes, both buy and sell-side, negotiating favourable terms.
Built reporting systems that drive decisions instead of gathering dust.
