As a portfolio FD/CFO, I help businesses achieve their potential, using the skills and experience I have gained in a variety of roles and industries.If you are an entrepreneur, CEO or Managing Director running an ambitious company with fast growth potential and are looking to ensure you get the very highest price for it when/if you decide to sell, our ‘part-time Finance Director’ model may well be of interest to you…...I’m with The FD Centre, the world’s number 1 provider of senior, high calibre part-time FDs. Our business model allows growing businesses to take on a top quality finance director for a fraction of the cost of appointing one on a full-time basis. To successfully grow requires a quality finance function overseen by a senior Finance Director with ‘big business’ experience, but that person does not necessarily need to be there full time. Our goal is to help busy CEOs and MDs free up time to grow their businesses while we take on the oversight of the finance function. We introduced this model in the UK back in 2001 and each year more and more business owners are choosing a part-time Finance Director over the full-time alternative.When we engage with our clients we perform a detailed review using our unique '12 Box Architecture' which helps us to understand the current areas of vulnerability (as well as the areas of strength) in your business before designing a comprehensive plan to address the priority areas.As an overview, we can help with: 1. Managing cash flow ; 2. Improving profit; 3. Tightening up internal controls; 4. Creating a better reporting infrastructure to improve visibility of performance; 5. Planning for an exit; 6. Managing risk; 7. (Re)designing the business plan and creating an implementation timetable; 8. Finding investment/funding; 9. Become compliant; 10. Maximising tax efficiency; 11. Advising on outsourcing; 12. Managing relationships with your bankI would welcome the chance to have a quick conversation with you.
