Fractional CFO for UK founders
Most UK founders call this role a fractional finance director; we call it a fractional CFO, and the scope is the same senior finance leader for a few days a month. We work with UK companies remotely with full overlap on UK working hours, reporting in GBP. Typical engagements are DTC and e-commerce brands and B2B service companies that have outgrown their bookkeeper but do not need a full-time hire on a UK salary.

Why founders here work with us
Cheaper than a UK CFO hire
A UK CFO commands a six-figure package plus recruitment fees. A retainer buys the same seniority for the days you actually need.
Post-Brexit cost reality
Duties, customs and freight changed landed cost for anyone selling goods across the Channel. We rebuild margin with those costs loaded in.
Investor and lender ready
Whether it is a VC round, an invoice facility or a growth loan, the requirement is the same: numbers that hold up under questioning.
What changes about the numbers here
- VAT schemes and cross-border duty change landed cost and therefore true product margin.
- Companies House filing deadlines and lender covenants set a reporting calendar we plan around.
- Seasonal working-capital swings in UK retail make a 13-week cash forecast the difference between calm and panic.
