Our Founding Principle
The Hive Mind.
Fractional CFO work is usually a solo discipline. We’ve built ours differently.
Every week, our Chartered Accountants meet to exchange ideas, stress-test client strategies and share sector intelligence. So when you engage the practice, you don’t just get individual expertise — you get the collective judgement of the whole team.
It’s how we give smaller businesses the financial leadership bigger companies take for granted.
I. One CFO, eleven minds.
Your engagement is reviewed by the whole practice, not a single consultant in isolation. Better thinking. Fewer blind spots.
II. Sector specialists, not generalists.
We’ve spent decades inside technology, creative, media and not-for-profit organisations. Our specialists have lived your sector — and so have the wider practice.
III. Senior experience, scoped to your stage.
From global advertising boardrooms to Gates Foundation-backed ventures. Deep M&A, fundraising and international expansion experience — brought to every engagement, regardless of size.
Who We’re Built For
The Scale-Up Threshold.
Crossing £1M is a triumph. Reaching £10M is a transformation.
Most businesses in this bracket stall — not because of sales, but because their finance function was built for a startup, not a scale-up. The systems creak. Cashflow becomes a guessing game. Investor conversations expose gaps. Growth gets harder, not easier.
This is the gap our practice is built to close.
£10M+
The revenue threshold our engagements are designed to help founders cross.
I. From reactive to proactive.
Beyond watching the bank balance. Real-time cashflow forecasting and scenario modelling that anticipates rather than reports.
II. Investor-ready governance.
The financial rigour that VCs, PE firms and acquirers expect — built before you need it, not scrambled together when the term sheet arrives.
III. Profitable growth, not just busy growth.
Finding the hidden leaks in margin, utilisation and work-in-progress. Making sure every pound of new revenue actually reaches the bottom line.
Specialist Capabilities
The Work That Sits Outside Day-to-Day Finance.
Some engagements need more than monthly management accounts. Acquisitions to integrate. New territories to enter. Finance functions to rebuild from the ground up.
This is the breakthrough work our practice is built for — scoped as engagements, delivered alongside your existing finance team.
I. Post-Acquisition Integration.
Merging finance functions and cultures after a deal closes. We handle the complexity of integration so leadership can focus on capturing the synergies that justified the acquisition in the first place.
II. International Infrastructure.
Operational footprints in the US, South East Asia and beyond. Entity structuring, transfer pricing, multi-currency operations — the financial architecture for global expansion, built by people who’ve done it before.
III. Systems Transformation.
Moving beyond basic bookkeeping to automated, AI-ready finance functions. The kind of high-stakes overhaul your day-to-day team shouldn’t be distracted by — and probably isn’t equipped for.
At Scale
$1.2B in global integrations. Stock exchange listings. Finance functions built on four continents.

Two engagements that took businesses from low single-digit millions to genuine scale.
Case Study 01
Training & Staffing Startup
£500K → £30M+ in three years.
Customer-service training for airports and travel retail. Rapid growth potential, no financial infrastructure to support it.
We built the financial processes and automation from zero. Installed management accounts and sales accountability. Navigated the COVID crisis — securing furlough and CBILS funding. Then led international expansion to the US, Caribbean, Mexico and Singapore.

Case Study 02
Games Manufacturer
£400K → £20M.
Games and puzzles manufacturer with global ambitions — but a finance team that couldn’t keep pace with the opportunity.
We restructured the finance team and recruited a qualified Finance Controller. Designed a debt financing strategy combining trade finance, invoice financing and credit insurance. Serviced a first £1M client with the new capital structure. Then planned and executed US market entry.
