The Fractional Finance Office is a complete finance function delivered fractionally; bookkeeping, controls, reporting, forecasting, tax and strategy; assembled at the level your business actually needs.

Instead of hiring a full-time finance director, or stitching together a bookkeeper, an accountant and a tax adviser who never talk to each other, you get one senior lead running the whole thing, scaled up as you grow.

We do not replace your existing relationships. We fill the gap in the middle.

Your bookkeeper

Keeps the day-to-day records.

Business Squared

Proactive, commercial finance in the middle.

Your year-end accountant

Files the statutory accounts.

How the three levels fit together

You do not have to choose in the dark.

Most clients start where the pressure is greatest and grow their support as the business grows.

Not sure which you need? That is exactly what the first call is for.

Operational Finance

Keeps the data clean.

Financial Controller

Turns that data into monthly insight you can act on.

Fractional CFO

Uses that insight to drive strategy, tax and wealth.

Each level feeds the same goal: better numbers, better decisions, better outcomes.

Let's talk about where your business is really at.

No jargon, no hard sell. Just straight answers about your profit, cash and tax, and the decisions that will move you forward.

Tax & personal wealth

Tax is not a bolt-on.

As a Chartered Tax Adviser and Chartered Accountant, tax runs through every level of the service. The aim is not just more profit, but turning that profit into personal wealth, tax efficiently and in line with your long-term goals.

Corporate tax planning

Decisions made with the tax consequences understood up front.

Owner remuneration

Salary, dividends, pension: structured for the owner, not the textbook.

Personal tax

Joined-up advice across the business and the household.

Exit and succession

Restructuring, refinancing and bringing the next generation in.

Systems

Built on the right systems.

Move to Xero

Full migration from Sage 50 or spreadsheets. Data converted, accounts set up cleanly, team trained.

Digitised app stack

A coordinated tool stack tailored to how your business actually works. Less admin, faster reporting.

Sage Intacct partner

Sectors

Built for owner-managed businesses
