Many smaller businesses and SME’s can’t afford a Full Time (or even in some cases a Part Time FD) but they need help with:
- Business Plans
- Budgeting and Forecasting
- Cash Flow Management
- Buy or Rent decisions
- Capital Investment Appraisal
- Accounting Procedures and Systems
- Business Strategy
- Business Funding and Investment
- KPI’s
In addition to the internal requirements for the business there are key reason why small businesses expect more from their accountant.
- In recent years we have seen a huge growth in Cloud Accounting Systems such as Sage One and Xero and automation of payments and bank feeds, it’s no longer enough for accountants just to provide book keeping or yearend accounts and tax.
- Business owners want personalised, tailored partnerships with their accountant who need to be true business experts.
- HMRC and Companies house has incorporated user friendly, easy to use forms online.
Virtual FD’s fill this gap because:
- You only pay for what you need
- There is no employment contract
- It provides access to higher level of expertise and your covered by the professional indemnity
- Tighter regulations for Accountants in Practise.
Call us today to meet your future FD.
