Fractional Finance Support

I work directly in the numbers, building financial models, improving reporting, strengthening cash visibility and helping companies understand their financial position. When finance becomes messy, unclear, or stretched as a business grows, I help bring structure, clarity and forward planning.My focus is on practical execution: fixing the foundations, improving decision-making, and building financial systems that support scale.

Work

I’m a CIMA-qualified finance professional who enjoys working closely with founders and leadership teams during periods of growth and operational change.Many businesses reach a stage where finance becomes more complex than the systems supporting it. Models become unreliable, reporting takes too long, and leaders lose visibility of performance or cash runway.My work focuses on solving those problems, improving financial models, strengthening reporting, and implementing systems that allow finance to operate efficiently. I have particular experience supporting ERP and financial system implementations, helping businesses move from fragmented processes to integrated, reliable financial infrastructure.
