Finance Director services – Retained Part-Time

Having a retained part-time Finance Director gives a client excellent flexibility and therefore value-for-money. Depending on the size of the business, the finance director role can often be handled in as little as two days involvement a month. If there is more work to be done, often this can be accomplished with the help of a less-expensive book-keeper or assistant accountant.

We have close links, and work closely, with a recommended team of book-keepers, accountants, HR and other professionals, so whatever the structure of the client, we can almost always provide a good solution. If we can’t, we’ll say so.

A retained Finance Director can handle all the projects likely to be thrown at them (see the Financial Director services – Projects). In addition, a retained Finance Director will provide the following:-

• Having an on-going financial control in the business
• Being a sounding board and critical friend for the MD
• Maintaining relationships and creating improved confidence and professionalism with key stakeholders, such as lenders, banks, insurers, suppliers and investors.
• Having financial knowledge and experience retained in the business
• Compliance and Governance: ensuring that the business stays the right side of the line financially, ethically and legally.
• Giving a financial input on strategy
• Ensuring systems are used for their proper purposed, and continuously improved.
