The problem

Your business has grown. The decisions are bigger, the stakes are higher, and the spreadsheet that used to do the job no longer cuts it.

You do not yet need a full-time finance director on a six-figure salary. But you do need someone who can sit across the table, look at the whole picture, and help you decide.

What you get

A Fractional CFO gives you experienced financial leadership on tap. Darren works alongside you on the decisions that move the business, and the ones that protect what you have built.

Clear financial direction

A view of where the business is now, where it is heading, and the handful of numbers that actually matter for the next move.

Forecasting and scenario planning

Cashflow forecasts and what-if models, so you can see the effect of a hire, an investment or a downturn before you commit, not after.

Profit and margin insight

Where you make money, where you lose it, and what to change. Most owners are surprised by the answer.

Tax and extraction strategy

How to take money out of the business tax-efficiently, and how today's decisions shape your future tax position and personal wealth.

Exit and value planning

Whether you plan to sell in two years or ten, the work to maximise value starts now. We build the numbers and the story a buyer will pay for.

Personal wealth

Business success, turned into personal wealth.

As a Chartered Tax Adviser as well as a Chartered Accountant, tax and wealth planning run through the CFO work, not alongside it. The aim is not just more profit, it is more profit in your pocket, tax-efficiently, and a plan for what happens to it next: extraction, investment, pensions, succession and exit.

Who it is for

Owner-managed businesses, typically turning over £1m to £15m, that have outgrown basic accounting and want a senior financial mind in their corner.

The outcome

You make bigger decisions with less doubt. You stop guessing about cash and tax. And you start steering the business towards a clear financial goal, not just reacting to whatever this month throws at you.

Sectors

Built for owner-managed businesses

Darren has worked with construction firms, care providers, salons and professional services, so the conversation rarely starts from scratch. But the real expertise is reading any business, finding what good looks like, and helping you do more of it.
