Do You Want The
Proven Financial Skills and Advice
Available To Big Businesses
At A Fraction Of The Cost?

Are you unhappy with the way your relationship is working with your current accountants in Birmingham?

Do you feel that you need a more proactive or better service than your Birmingham accountants seem to be able to provide?

Are you making any of these common finance mistakes which could be costing you a fortune in lost profit?

If you have a business based in Birmingham:

• but you are not yet able to justify the cost of recruiting your own internal qualified accountant or Finance Director
• but you need more financial support and advice than you are getting from your firm of traditional accountants,
• we have just the solution for you.

There are a growing number of qualified accountants with years of senior management experience in big companies who now work on a self employed basis, each helping a small number of small businesses control and improve their business finances.

To help distinguish this special service, these accountants are often called Part Time Finance Directors or Virtual Finance Directors but that doesn't really explain what they are or what they do.

Each will bring many years of experience of working in companies and a focused attention on profit and cash that you probably haven't experienced before.

And the best bit?

Pareto's 80/20 rule says that invariably 20% of someone's efforts produces 80% of their results.

So you may only need somebody for a few days a month to get most of the benefits of having your own full time Finance Director, and because it's on an "as and when needed" basis the costs are lower and you can afford to use a very high calibre person who traditionally has not been available to the smaller businesses.

Using one of our experienced Finance Directors means that you could leave your accounting and tax compliance work to your current accountants. It's probably the service that the firm has been designed to deliver best. Alternatively your new FD may know of an excellent firm with competitive fees.

Our service also works well if you are finding trading tough and you are having to reduce your headcount. In these turnaround situations, the need for strong and effective financial control is essential but again, you may not need a full time FD so why carry the extra cost?

To help you find these special people we have created a register of Finance Directors and this includes highly experienced qualified accountants in the Birmingham area.
