The benefits
You get what feels like a full-time finance team for a fraction of the cost. Scale up to support growth, cover a project, or get through a busy period, while your bookkeeping and accounts run properly without your attention.
Built for the stage you're at
For start-ups
Get your house in order from day one
We get your back office systems set up, agree the best flow of information, and keep your books in order and numbers in shape, allowing for clear decision making.
- Get set up and information flowing
- Keep the ledgers clean from day one
- A simple, regular cadence you can rely on
For growing businesses
Hand the admin off, keep the oversight
Stop chasing invoices and processing AP. We run the function end to end, with a controller checking the work and reporting back to you on what matters.
- AR billing and chasing handled
- AP processed, reviewed, ready to pay
- Monthly management accounts and CFO-level oversight on tap
What your finance team looks like
Controller / CFO oversight. A qualified controller oversees the work of the team and acts as your main point of contact. The same person brings the strategic view: forecasts, cashflow models, ad-hoc analyses, and a steady answer when you need one.
Accounts Receivable
Billing, chasing and clean ledgers
We prepare, send and chase sales invoices. Invoices carry the right information, go to the right people on time, and are followed up properly to reduce the risk of late or non-payment. Everything is booked correctly in your ledgers.
In this function
- Prepare, send and chase sales invoices
- Follow up to reduce late or non-payment risk
- Book receipts correctly in your ledgers
Accounts Payable
Suppliers paid on time, VAT recovered
We process your purchase invoices, allocate them correctly in your ledgers and record recoverable VAT against your VAT return. We carry out basic supplier checks, and schedule invoices for payment when they fall due.
In this function
- Process and allocate purchase invoices
- Record recoverable VAT on your VAT return
- Run supplier checks and schedule payments
Bookkeeping & Compliance
Reconciled books, monthly packs, year-end ready
We reconcile your bank accounts and book key entries such as accruals and prepayments every month. We produce monthly management packs, prepare the books for year-end, meet the deadlines, and prepare quarterly VAT returns.
In this function
- Monthly bank reconciliation and key entries
- Management packs and year-end preparation
- Quarterly VAT returns prepared on time
Treasury
A second pair of eyes on every payment
We act as a user on your bank account with final rights staying with you. We set up payment runs, check and review them, and send them to you to release. Cashflow, AP and tax payments are scheduled cleanly.
In this function
- Set up and review payment runs
- Final release rights stay with you
- Cashflow, AP and tax payments scheduled cleanly
Common questions
You get a part-time, fully managed finance team. Instead of hiring a controller, an AR clerk, an AP clerk and a CFO in-house, you pay for a slice of each. The cost is a fraction of a full team and you avoid Employer's NIC, holiday cover and pension contributions.
Most clients are live within two weeks of signing. We start with a kickoff, get access to your systems, agree the month-end rhythm, and pick up from where things are.
No. We work month to month with 30 days' notice on either side. Most clients stay because the service is good, not because the contract holds them.
A team. A controller oversees your work and is your main point of contact, supported by specialists across bookkeeping, accounts payable, accounts receivable and treasury. Nothing falls through the cracks when one person is off.
Usually no. We run your day-to-day finance function and prepare clean year-end information for your accountant to file. If you want us to introduce a partner accountant, we can do that too.
