BUSINESS INSIGHT AND ADVICE WHEN YOU NEED IT.

(and ZERO COST WHEN YOU DON’T).

Between your bookkeeper and your year-end accountant, you have compliance nailed.

But you still need to know what is holding you back, what you can do to push your business forwards, and how to plan for your next steps.

The truth is, most SMEs don’t need a full-time Finance Director, but they do need someone they can turn to for advice, direction and confirmation that their gut feeling is right on the money.

Wainwright Consulting works WITH you and your company giving you insight you can actually use, not just another report.

Time to check these items off the to do list:

✔ Set department budgets
✔ Create cash flow forecasts
✔ Calculate product / client profitability
✔ Assess potential investment cases
✔ Create meaningful Management Information (MI) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
✔ Set a strategy to grow the business YOU want that meets YOUR definition of success
…and more.

Now you can know when to make your next investment in equipment, what hiring employees will do for your turn-around times, if you could take that second bank loan, and how you can take your business to the next level.

Dani added massive value

Dani added massive value to my team, the best support we have had. Thoughtful, thinks ahead but gets into the weeds when required. She helped me navigate the numbers in a sea of complexity. I highly recommend her.

In hindsight, I would have had Dani on board on day 1

Wainwright Consulting came on board during our ambitious growth plan. Since then we managed to grow turnover, profit, and staff numbers, and successfully exited in an acquisition of the business. In hindsight, I would have had Dani on board much earlier, if not on Day 1 to open more doors and possibilities to what was available for our business to grow and prosper.

You don’t need a full-time Finance Director.

But you do need a Sounding Board.

Someone you can trust with your business, your operations, your finances and your future. 

You could do it all yourself…

But…are you a qualified Chartered Accountant?

Do you have over 20 years of experience in the finance world?

Do you have the time to give your business finances the attention they need?

Can you build a cohesive 3, 5, 10 year plan with finances backing that strategy?

If not, you shouldn’t be doing this alone.

Having Finance Director level services from Wainwright Consulting on hand is the perfect fit for your company.

FAQ

What makes your finance services different to anyone else's?

I provide a tailored portfolio finance service, which means I offer finance services particular to your business needs. I don’t believe ‘one size fits all’.

Instead, I work with you, and find out what it is you want from your business.

I don’t just ‘provide a finance service’. I teach and mentor you, so that you are equipped with the knowledge of how to plan a growth strategy, understand where your business is making money and why your numbers are what they are.

The service I provide is one of a kind as it is 100% tailored to your business.

Isn't hiring a Finance Director or business advisor ridiculously expensive

The beauty of my tailored portfolio finance service is that you won’t need me 100% of the time. Because your business is growing, if you hired a full time Finance Director right now, you’d incur a considerable cost, but wouldn’t have enough for them to do just yet. An engagement with a portfolio FD can be as flexible as you need it to be, starting from 1 day/month and is therefore really cost effective – you’ll only be paying me for the things you truly need.

What experience can you bring to my business, that I can’t find elsewhere?

I bring with me experience gained from working for large, corporate businesses for many years. So, you get the corporate background, without the corporate jargon and lengthy processes. I know what works, and what doesn’t.

My experience expands across a variety of businesses, helping them achieve a variety of business goals. I provide an approachable, friendly service to help you understand your financial needs.
