When Should You Hire an Outsourced FD?
You often need finance leadership before you can justify a full-time salary.
That is where an outsourced FD comes in.
By Andy Smith, Founder & Finance Director
Plenty of businesses need proper finance leadership long before they can justify a full-time finance director on the payroll. That is exactly the gap an outsourced FD fills.
Signs you need one
- ✓ You are growing fast and the numbers are getting complex
- ✓ You are raising finance or talking to a bank or investor
- ✓ Margins are slipping and you are not sure why
- ✓ Big decisions are being made on gut feel
- ✓ Nobody really owns the numbers
What an outsourced FD does
Strategy, forecasting, funding, profitability and board-level support: someone in your corner on the decisions that move the needle.
You get senior, commercially experienced finance leadership for a fraction of a full-time cost, and only as much as you need. It is one of the most valuable things we do.
