We provide access to experienced Finance Directors with blue chip experience on a flexible pay-as-you-go basis.  Regular agreed monthly sessions to review business performance and discuss strategic and commercial issues arising in the business, as well as availability to act as a sounding board when required or for ad hoc assignments.

Business Plans

We aim to help you to challenge all aspects of your business, market and operational strategies and establish viable plans for taking businesses forward.  Innovative processes for focusing the business’s capability on the right opportunities and sectors to drive profitable growth.   Nigel Ayres has been certified as a Catalyst Advisor by FPSS and uses a simple innovative tool to produce a Business Plan appropriate for most businesses.  The Business Plan ensures all key issues are addressed and the document produced can be used to present to banks or investors.  It also ensures that all key stakeholders understand the key priorities.  Follow up services to review plans and progress against the plan can also be provided on a quarterly or annual basis. 

Advice is also available on cost effective approaches to acquiring and retaining clients.

Financial Management
 

We are experienced in developing effective financial strategies and transforming finance teams to provide proactive support to management. We are also an associate of FPSS who provide a range of Financial Management Services to improve financial control and management information available in the business and reduce the cost of bookkeeping, payroll and accountancy within the business.  FPSS can also provide advice on specialist areas, such as Corporation Tax, VAT and Company Secretarial issues.

Performance Improvement

We can identify change processes appropriate to your business to achieve improved service delivery and radical cost reduction.   The project can be supported by innovative management and measurement approaches to ensure that everyone understands the real priorities of the business and to ensure improvement is sustainable and that strategy constantly evolves to meet the requirements of changing market conditions.

 

Corporate Finance

We can help to set funding strategies to help the business achieve its goals and use extensive networks to raise equity or debt finance and, when required, we can bring together a team to plan and lead a flotation on Plus Markets or on AIM or organize acquisitions to build new capability.
