Welcome

Even if you have a bookkeeper and an accountant providing you with financial data, you may still feel there is something missing. That’s where a virtual finance director comes in – to analyse your present financial position, then based on your business and personal aims forecast the future financial and cash positions then help implement strategies to maximise both. Meet David Ebdon – our virtual finance director working in Kent, East Sussex, Surrey and even Scotland! A remote service is available UK-wide. David has over 25 years experience troubleshooting financial positions within commercial operations.

The Business Case

Just pay for the time your virtual finance director’s expertise is required! Then use the saving to employ less senior employees for the more administrative aspects of the position.

For example a company requires a finance director but can only afford to pay between £50K – £60K. The technical aspects of the role are expected to take two days with the remainder being to manage the accounts payable/receivable functions and to carry out account reconciliations. The current market rate for a good finance director in South East England is between £75-£100K.

Solution – employ a virtual finance director for two days together with a full time finance manager. Since the virtual finance director does not have an employment contract this service can be easily scaled up/down as needed – a win/win situation!

Truly ‘Pay as you go!’
