Looking to jump-start your business to the next level?
A Financial Director (FD) is an invaluable aide for any growing company. With their help, business owners gain a mentor, financial leadership, enhanced reporting and laser-guided strategy that:
a) breeds growth and
b) unearths greater value for your business.
What is a Finance Director, and how does it differ from accountancy services?
Armed with the skills of a top-rated accountant, an FD takes a more assertive role in the day-to-day running of your business. With their expertise to hand, the Finance Director immerses themselves into your business – often as a spokesperson – taking greater control over its financial direction and leadership.
Let’s examine some core differences between a top accountant and a finance director:
Accountant
- Bookkeeping
- Capital expenditure
- Tax returns
- Tax planning
- Payrolls
Finance Director

- Capital expenditure
- Tax returns

Why does my business need a part-time FD?
It’s a misconception that Finance Directors are reserved for big-hitting, multimillion pound companies. For that reason, many small business owners do not look for an FD, or fail to see the value in a go-to Financial Consultant for their company.
By hiring a part-time FD for your business, you stand to enjoy:
- Independent financial leadership
- A facilitator for financial regulatory processes
- Added value for your company with forecasts and business budgeting
- A dedicated mentor, to whom you can turn to for business planning and growth advice
- Someone to hold your financial planning to account
A Finance Director will motivate and challenge you in equal measure; their role is think outside the box and supercharge your business from a fresh perspective.
