Compliance to advisory

Outsourced finance function for growing UK companies

Compliance keeps you legal. A finance function makes you money. Start at around £150 a month for filings, add management reporting when decisions need numbers, and step up to a full outsourced finance team with controller and finance director time from £1,500 a month.

Finance function questions, answered

What is an outsourced finance function?

It is the whole finance team bought as a service: day to day bookkeeping, a controller who owns the monthly close and controls, and a finance director who advises on pricing, cash, hiring and funding. It typically starts around £1,500 a month, against well over £150,000 a year to hire the same three roles.

When should we move beyond compliance?

When decisions are waiting on numbers. Usually that is somewhere past £500,000 of turnover, or earlier if stock, subscriptions or investors make cash timing critical.

Can we start with compliance and step up later?

Yes, and most clients do. You start on a fixed compliance fee, add management accounts when reporting matters, then move to the full function when the business needs a finance director in the room.

Do you replace our in house bookkeeper?

Only if you want us to. We can sit above your bookkeeper as controller and finance director, or take the whole thing.

What is included in the finance director time?

Monthly or fortnightly review meetings, budget and scenario modelling, pricing and margin work, board packs, investor updates and support through funding rounds or due diligence.

Is there a minimum term?

No long tie in. Fees are monthly and the scope is written down, so you can scale up or step back as the business changes.
