Financial Director Services
Modern dynamic companies need real time information and timely financial reporting, this is best achieved by ensuring your financial tech-stack and period-end processes are up to scratch.
Need someone to provide additional financial input to senior team meetings? Or maybe you're a CEO & Founder looking for an honest opinion on strategy?
Business Strategy
I've worked in businesses in all stages of the life cycle and with business models ranging from digital marketplaces to chemical wholesalers. Focusing on the right things and ignoring the noise is essential for success.
With the right tech-stack and processes in place you can start to reap the rewards, a better understanding of your customers or profitability per product, or perhaps areas that are under performing?
Creating robust projections for funding is critical. Numbers need to be achievable yet ambitious, meeting the targets, ensures the next funding round is a breeze.
Management accounts and Financial Reporting
The building blocks of everything, get the months actuals closed off quickly, create forecasts and budgets on time, make better decisions, simple.
"Mark has an exceptional understanding of fast-moving, entrepreneurial media businesses, which was invaluable to us at 1854 Media. His ability to quickly grasp the nuances of our industry allowed him to provide high-level financial modelling that directly supported our strategic decisions. His insights were a key driver in our growth and success."
"Mark brought his passion for technology and automations to the Group, finding efficiencies and cost savings. What impressed me the most was Mark's ability to balance costs savings and investment, ensuring core business functions were optimized appropriately. I just wish he had been around for the last 30 years, I think we could have built some great businesses together."
"As the owner of Rapid News, I would like to thank Mark for the work he has done in transforming the reporting of financial information in the business over the last 18 months.
Mark oversaw the installation of new accounting software, which has been a massive improvement, delivered clear monthly accounts and management information, highlighted the areas for focus and acted as a very valuable outside pair of eyes on our operations generally. We are now in a much better place, with transparent financial information and a good process for reviewing and acting on information.
On a personal note, I have been very impressed with how quickly Mark responds to requests, and the fact that he has been prepared to flex his time to suit the job in hand. I have noticed some of the “send” times of emails, some of which have been nowhere near recognised office hours
Any client would be lucky to have him on board."
