Description

I provide senior, hands-on financial control and reporting support to growing businesses on a fractional basis. My work focuses on establishing reliable month-end processes, clear management reporting, and strong cashflow visibility to support informed decision-making.

I help businesses move from reactive finance to predictable control through practical budgeting, working capital management, and robust financial reconciliations. I also act as a consistent point of contact between the business and its external accountants and advisors, ensuring accurate reporting, compliance, and smooth period-end processes.

Engagements are typically part-time and retained, with clearly defined scope and time commitments to ensure sustainable delivery and long-term value.
