You need a finance team. You just can't justify building one in-house.
Add it up honestly. A finance director at £130k. A bookkeeper at £60k. A payroll person at £50k. Then employer's NI at 15%, pensions and holiday cover on top of all three.
You don't need all those people on your payroll. You need all those people on your side.

Not a supplier you chase. A team that knows your business.
We become your finance team. Not a firm that sends accounts once a year. A team that manages your numbers monthly, and connects the business finances to your personal financial position.
When clients describe us, they don't say "our accountant". They say "our finance team".
What your team handles
You don't buy these separately. They work together because your finances work together.
Monthly management accounts
Cash flow forecasting
Bookkeeping & transaction processing
VAT returns
Corporation tax
Year-end accounts & filings
Payroll
Pension auto-enrolment
Personal & business tax planning
Extraction strategy
Systems advisory
A named CFO-level contact
Family wealth integration
Your business and your personal position, held as one plan — the piece almost nobody else joins up.
Within six weeks I had numbers I could trust and time back to run the business. I used to spend two days a month wrestling with Xero. Now I spend thirty minutes reading the report Dan sends me.
What the same team costs in-house
Three salaries, before you add employer's NI at 15%, pension contributions, holiday cover and the recruitment cost of replacing any of them.
Finance director
Bookkeeper
Payroll
All-in, in-house
The problems this solves
Supported living provider, 180 staff, £6m turnover
Fifteen hours a week on payroll. Bookkeeping three months behind. Nobody had reviewed their tax position in two years.
We took over the entire function. In year one, the tax review identified £47k in overpaid corporation tax.
They now spend zero hours a week on finance admin.
This isn't for everyone.
If you just need a tax return once a year, you don't need a finance team — and we'll tell you that on the first call rather than sell you something you won't use.
We work with businesses investing £25k–£50k per year, because that's what a proper finance function costs.
A useful rule of thumb
A well-run business spends 2–4% of turnover on its finance function. At £2m turnover, that's £40k–£80k a year — whether you spend it on salaries, a patchwork of suppliers, or one team.
Ours sits at the bottom of that range, for the whole team, at a fraction of the £240k+ it costs to build in-house.
Not sure how much of this you already have?
Eight questions. Two minutes. No email required. You'll see exactly which parts of the function are missing.
Who's Watching The Money?
Real conversations about what happens when nobody connects the pieces.
