A Virtual Finance Director provides part‑time, board‑level financial leadership to established UK SMEs. Think of us as your part‑time finance chief that gives you the strategic oversight, forecasting, and decision support you need, without the cost of a full‑time FD. Who This Is For Established SMEs with £1m–£5m annual turnover Founder‑led companies moving beyond basic bookkeeping Construction firms needing cash flow clarity alongside CIS compliance Agencies and service businesses scaling operations Companies preparing for funding, investment, or bank facilities Businesses experiencing margin pressure or working capital strain What You Get Monthly Board‑ready management accounts: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow—with context, not just columns Rolling 12‑month cash flow forecast: updated with actuals, modelled for what‑if scenarios KPI dashboard: gross margin, net margin, EBITDA, debtor days, tracked and interpreted Full compliance oversight: VAT, Payroll, CIS, Auto Enrolment, and tax, integrated into your strategic view. What We Need From You Accounting software login (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage) Last 12 months’ bank statements (or read‑only access) VAT return history (last 4 quarters) Payroll reports (current year) Current year management accounts (if any) Companies House login (optional, for secretarial) Mistakes We Help You Avoid Hiring a compliance‑only accountant when you need strategic oversight No monthly reporting cadence, No cash flow forecasting Mixing personal and business finances Waiting until a crisis to get financial leadership What a Virtual Finance Director Does A VFD is your part‑time finance chief responsible for the financial strategy, oversight, and direction that help you make confident business decisions. We build the frameworks, interpret the data, and guide your decisions. Not just on what happened, but on what happens next. The Difference We Make Forward‑looking forecasts We don’t just track where cash has been. We model where it is going. Your 12‑month rolling cash flow forecast is updated monthly, so you always know your runway and can extend it before it shortens. Book a Consultation Profitability intelligence Gross margin, net margin, EBITDA, we track them all. But more importantly, we tell you which products, services, or clients are driving profit and which are quietly draining it. Then we advise on what to do next. Book a Consultation Working capital strategy Debtor days, creditor terms, stock turnover aren’t admin metrics. They’re levers. We help you pull them to free up cash you didn’t know you had. Book a Consultation Scenario modelling What happens if sales drop 20%? If you hire three more staff? If a major client pays late? We model the outcomes before you commit, so you lead with data, not just hope. Book a Consultation Risk and governance oversight HMRC, MTD, Companies House obligations met without surprises. The result is a financial structure that is designed to stay compliant by default. Book a Consultation Board‑level reporting Your monthly pack arrives within 10 working days with clear, concise answers built for decisions. Book a Consultation Instead of asking “What happened last month?” you start asking “What happens next quarter?” Which Role Fits Your Business Today? If you need someone to keep the books clean and invoices paid→ You need a bookkeeper If you need year‑end accounts filed and tax returns sorted→ You need an accountant If you need accurate monthly data and tighter controls→ You need a Financial Controller If you need forward visibility, scenario planning, and board‑level reporting, but not a full‑time hire→ You need a Virtual Finance Director If you need a full‑time executive owning strategy, investors, and the entire finance function→ You need a full‑time FD or CFO Most growing SMEs need a blend. We’re the piece that’s often missing: strategic oversight between compliance and full‑time leadership.
