Business owners recognise that future success and growth depends upon securing strong financial guidance and planning.

Companies may be at any stage in the business cycle, but are perhaps for some reason facing increasing commercial risks, inadequate management information or the need for cash.

Management need to make decisions and may well feel able to carry out the business mission without further support, but are hindered by competing demands on their time and expertise. They may not have a trusted sounding board for their ideas and have understandable discomfort about exposing the business, its confidential information and their business to someone who is new, unknown and untested.

However, all want access to comprehensive financial experience, so are seeking a trustworthy individual, with a flexible approach prepared to help their business get to grips with the financial challenges and deliver results. They don’t have the resources to employ someone full time and are therefore looking for “smart time” cost-effective support from someone with whom they can build a long-term relationship.
