Strategic Oversight & Support
Your dedicated FD. Without the full-time cost.

Managing a finance team isn’t easy especially when it’s not your area of expertise. We step in to provide experienced oversight, acting as the point of contact for your internal finance staff or external bookkeepers.
We help troubleshoot issues, improve processes, and make sure the right people are focused on the right tasks so your finance function runs smoothly, efficiently, and without surprises.

Cash Flow, Projections & What-If Planning
Look ahead with clarity. Plan with confidence.
We help you see beyond today’s bank balance. With live cash flow forecasts, scenario modelling, and “what-if” analysis, we show you how today’s decisions will impact tomorrow’s outcomes whether it’s a new hire, investment, or change in strategy.
Our forecasting gives you more than numbers. It gives you foresight, control, and the confidence to grow without the guesswork.
Strategic Planning & Accountability
Turn your big goals into measurable progress.
We don’t just help you set goals — we help you reach them.
Together, we’ll define your short, medium, and long-term objectives, then create a practical, financially grounded plan to get you there.
With monthly accountability check-ins, tailored KPIs, and proactive guidance, we keep you focused on what matters and support you in taking consistent, meaningful action.
