Strategic leadership. Affordable investment. Real results.
“Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.”
— Steve Jobs
A bright, commercially minded Finance Director can be transformative for a growing business. But for many SMEs, a full-time FD isn’t realistic — and often, not necessary.
That’s where our Virtual Finance Director (VFD) service comes in.
We give you access to an industry-leading financial expert who works alongside you — virtually, flexibly, and affordably — to accelerate your growth, solve challenges, and guide your business to its next level.
You get all the insight, accountability and expertise of a top-tier Finance Director — for a fraction of the cost.
Bringing the Numbers to Life
We don’t just help you look at the numbers — we help you understand them, act on them, and use them to drive real change.
Your VFD becomes your sounding board, your commercial co-pilot, and your strategic partner — helping you navigate each quarter with confidence.
How It Works
1. Blueprint Onboarding
We begin with a series of in-depth New Client Blueprint Sessions to get to know your business, your goals, and your challenges. This includes:
- A full business health check
- Benchmarking analysis and competition tracking
- Creation of your own Business Scoreboard
- A tailored Annual Growth Roadmap to guide your next 12 months
2. Quarterly Strategy Sessions
You’ll meet with your Virtual FD at least once per quarter for structured business development sessions. These include:
- Review of financial performance and progress to date
- Updates to forecasts, plans and KPIs
- Accountability check-ins and action planning
- Ongoing strategic advice and support
We use the full Business DNA System™, including tools like:
- Switch Insights Report
- Benchmarking Reviews
- Performance Trackers
- One Page Action Plans
These aren’t reports for reporting’s sake — they’re tools for unlocking growth.
What Your Virtual FD Helps With
Your VFD will work with you across the full commercial landscape of your business. Common areas of support include:

Whatever’s holding you back, your VFD helps you fix it — and move forward.
