Quality independent financial executives prefer to operate in a more professional way and to share their experiences amongst a number of clients, but still maintain some independence to be able to advise the business, unfettered by the internal influences that can beset an employee.
They have operated as company directors for listed and other public companies for many years. This professional has expanded their reach over the past decade to service the Small Medium Enterprise ‘SME’ as well as the public company on a consulting basis.
It is a trend that will only increase over time as both the executive and the client business want it.
Most companies would like to hire an experienced CFO or Financial Controller to guide them, but salaries on an annualised basis and employment responsibilities have been an impediment.
As a consequence, businesses have suffered from a lack of timely financial information and good advice.
We understand the needs of this professional executive as we have been putting them on assignments with clients for in excess of 12 years.
We support our team of financial consultants with training and administrative support. Our consultants can either work through our company or contract direct to the client with their own company. We also provide outsourcing resources they can deploy at their clients to make a substantial difference to their clients. This allows our executives to concentrate on providing the best service to their clients – and grow their consulting business in the process.
Chartered Accountants, CPA’s and others now seek roles as consultants to industry. This provides them with a variety of experience, independence, autonomy, and the challenge of being a consulting professional.
There are an increasing number of businesses that want a part-time CFO or Financial Controller.
Our Financial Consultants generally have these attributes in common:
- Membership of professional bodies such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Society of CPA’s.
- Experience in private practice or as a business executive.
- A need to be independent
- An ability to introduce change management to their clients
- Confidence to make a decision and move a business forward
- Professionally rewarded by seeing the improvements they bring to a business
