Strategy, growth and efficiency support
You won’t be running your business by accident, and you’ll have goals in mind, even if they’re not entirely clear right now. By working together, we can develop a strategy that will make this happen, delivering progress and results to achieve what you’re dreaming of.
You may want to build your business, then sell up and retire. Alternatively, you might want to hand over a profitable legacy to your children or simply earn as much as possible and minimise your tax exposure.
Tailored entirely to your needs, we work to understand where you’re at before providing advice and guidance that’ll move you forward more effectively. We all have different goals in life, and SME businesses do as well. So, let’s work on this together, enabling you to focus on the right things to ensure your future success.
Fractional Finance Director
When you need senior finance input, perhaps at FD or CFO level, we have just the man. Paul Reid is an experienced Finance Director who is only too happy to help businesses for a contracted period of time.
Paul has supported many businesses transition from start-up to scale. He’s also helped complete restructuring projects and manage change when the way forward seems unclear. Business sale and acquisition is also within Paul’s first-hand experience. He’s the ideal man to have on your team when you need senior finance skills.
Should this sound interesting, the first step is to arrange a conversation with Paul. So long as you both feel the collaboration will bring value to your business, we can help.
Outsourced finance function
Need someone to do the financial heavy lifting so you can focus on running your business? That’s us.
It can be reassuring to know someone experienced is taking care of your finance throughout the year and making the right decisions for your business. That’s why we offer an outsourced finance function for businesses like yours.
Working closely with you, we first ensure you’re using the best-fit software for your business, before providing timely financial information to track your key performance indicators (KPI’s) and keep you informed month after month.
When you hand over your finance to us, you can breathe a sigh of relief and confidently drive your business forward.
Corporate finance and transaction support
Unlike many other firms, we have first-hand experience of buying, selling, and restructuring businesses. And we know how it feels. So, without doubt, we have the skills to help you through your process.
Whether excitement or sadness, transitioning a business can be an emotional time. You may be building your assets or letting go of your life’s work. We can confidently support you through the entire process, while appreciating the roller coaster of emotions that comes with it.
Without a large overhead base, we can be nimble and offer transparent, affordable fees. You’ll have the experience you need to achieve a great deal without the hefty fee this can attract.
Let’s start with a confidential conversation. From there, you’ll be clear how we can add value to your process and help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Coaching for leaders
Do you need to develop your leadership team? Have you got aspiring leaders you wish to grow? We have a flexible and effective answer for you.
Paul Reid is an experienced people leader. He’s coached leaders from several business sectors using various techniques and methods. Paul can work alongside other coaches or HR professionals, flexibly filling the gaps that will make you and your team better leaders.
Don’t let your business growth falter due to poor leadership. Arrange a chat with Paul and see whether he’s the right fit for your needs. One conversation could make all the difference.
Start-up support
Establishing a new business is both exciting and challenging. We know, because we’ve been there. This experience, coupled with our financial knowledge, is why we’re equipped to help you with your start-up.
From the outset, you need a clear plan that documents what you’re looking to do and why it matters. Then you can start to form a business that works for you and delivers on the goals you set.
Having founded and scaled several businesses ourselves, we can support you at this early stage, whether that concerns strategy, commercialisation, marketing, or the legal aspects of your offer.
We’re here to empower your business journey from day one.
