I’m Ciaran, and I’m on a mission to help start-ups, entrepreneurs and fast-growing businesses like you to own your numbers.Why? Because setting up a business is easy ... but as you grow and scale it, things become more complex and more of a headache and stress. So you need FD-level expertise, but you aren’t ready for a full-time FD.Sound familiar?Small businesses and start-ups often find finance the toughest problem of all - you need to know how you’re doing and where you’re going. What do I do?So, I upskill start-up CEOs and business owners to think like a Blue Chip CEO, ignite your profit line, boost your cashflow, foresee the future and make you irresistible to investors. I qualified as an accountant in 1998, and spent 12 years at Hutchison Whampoa, Three and Carphone Warehouse – who all had very entrepreneurial beginnings.So I launched Virtual FD in 2010, on a mission to help new businesses who needed that level of advice, but weren’t ready for a full-time role. I’ve advised over 60 ambitious start-ups and fast growth businesses. Almost all businesses I work with come through personal recommendations. I help them grow, prepare to sell, stay on track – whatever’s needed.My approach has helped one of my clients grow her profits by 25 x in six years.My advice helped another client restructure his financials and doing so helped his business be valued at £50m.Thanks to this and the impact I have, I was named CFO of the Year at the British Accountancy Awards 2019.𝐒𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩?I’d love to hear about your business - I offer a FREE strategy call - so that can unblock your head and I can show you how to own your numbers. DM me to find out how you can book your free strategy call!
