Understanding the
6 Levels of finance.
Most growing businesses do not need six full-time finance employees. They need the right amount of expertise at each level. We build your own named team, from Ledger Clerk through to CFO, with only the hours your business needs at each level, included in one monthly subscription.

How the Subscription Works.
Rather than committing £200k+ recruiting a full-time team or dealing with disconnected freelancers, you subscribe to an integrated finance function tailored to your monthly cadence.
YOUR TEAM, BUILT AROUND YOU
We assess your existing finance function, workload and future plans, then build your own named team with the right number of hours at each level, from Ledger Clerk through to CFO.
ONE MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION
One agreed monthly fee covers your entire finance team. There are no professional or training fees, employer’s National Insurance, pension contributions, employee benefits or additional software costs.
FLEX AS YOUR BUSINESS CHANGES
Increase or reduce capacity and change the mix of expertise as your business evolves. Access senior support when it is needed without paying CFO rates for routine finance work.
ONE TEAM. SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH.
Your team works together as part of your business, led by a named senior finance professional. Your bespoke Finance Command Centre brings financial and operational information together in one place.
In-House Single Hire vs. Full Finance Stack
Why paying for an isolated generalist creates operational risk.
- Paid £80k to £120k CFO rate for Level 6 invoice processing
- Single point of failure if sick or on leave
- High burnout rate from operational context switching
- Slow hiring timeline with recruiter lag and high agency fees
- Specialist rates applied strictly to matching tier work
- Continuous team coverage with zero downtime or single person risk
- Focused specialists working inside their core qualifications
- Structured, planned onboarding tailored to your business needs
