Financy — Integrated Business Advisory
SOL-01 · Senior financial leadership for practical change

Turn financial information into better decisions, stronger control and a practical transformation plan.

Senior financial leadership and practical decision support for stronger performance, control and change.

Problems we solve

Start with the friction, risk or decision—not a technology or procedure list.

01

Decisions rely on incomplete information

Management has accounting data, but not a consistent view of cash, margins, risks and forward commitments.

02

The forecast is quickly outdated

Budgets are prepared as annual exercises instead of being used as active decision tools.

03

Cash pressure appears too late

Collections, supplier terms, stock, financing and commitments are not connected in one working-capital view.

04

Profitability is difficult to explain

Revenue may be growing while product, service, client or channel contribution remains unclear.

05

Reporting does not drive action

Management packs describe the past without showing decisions, owners, deadlines and expected effects.

06

Change has no accountable owner

Improvement ideas exist, but responsibilities, sequencing, dependencies and measures are not defined.

What is included

Six connected capability groups. One clear destination.

Management priority selector

Choose the decision or pressure point that needs attention first.

This preview shows how an immediate management need connects to the wider advisory solution. The final scope follows a review of the business, available information and decision responsibilities.

What does management need to address first?

Select one option to see the recommended starting point.

General guidance only. It does not provide a financial conclusion, promise an outcome or replace management approval.

Controlled service journey

A visible path from starting facts to an approved result.

01

Understand

Clarify objectives, decisions, pressure points, stakeholders and the current finance capability.

02

Diagnose

Review performance, cash, information quality, controls, responsibilities and material risks.

03

Prioritise

Agree the decisions and improvements that matter first, with owners and expected value.

04

Plan

Build the forecast, action plan, reporting cadence and governance needed for delivery.

05

Implement

Support accountable owners, resolve dependencies and keep actions connected to the financial effect.

06

Review

Measure progress, update assumptions and agree the next management cycle.

Who it is for

Designed for organisations that need a controlled starting point or a connected ongoing process.

  • Owner-managed businesses needing senior finance support
  • Growing companies without a full-time CFO requirement
  • Management teams preparing budgets, funding or expansion
  • Businesses facing cash, margin or control pressure
  • Boards needing clearer financial decision information
  • Organisations implementing a finance or operating-model change
Typical deliverables and evidence

The exact output is defined in the written engagement.

  • 01Financial diagnostic and priority map
  • 02Budget, forecast or scenario model
  • 03Cash and working-capital action plan
  • 04Management or board reporting pack
  • 05Profitability and cost analysis
  • 06Risk, decision and action registers
  • 07Transformation roadmap and responsibilities
  • 08Recurring review and progress record
Trust, control and limitations

Speed and convenience do not replace evidence, review or accountability.

01

Evidence and assumptions

Material conclusions distinguish available evidence, management assumptions, estimates and unresolved information.

02

Management ownership

Advice supports decisions; owners and authorised management remain responsible for approving and executing them.

03

Defined decision rights

The engagement identifies who prepares, reviews, approves and acts on each important output.

04

Visible follow-through

Actions, owners, dates, dependencies and expected effects are reviewed through an agreed cadence.

Questions before you start

Clear scope before commitment.

01What is a fractional CFO service?+

It provides senior finance leadership at an agreed level and cadence without assuming that the business needs a full-time CFO. The scope may include planning, cash, reporting, decisions, team direction and implementation follow-up.

02Does advisory replace bookkeeping or accounting?+

No. Advisory depends on reliable records and may be delivered alongside the Accounting, Reporting & Finance Operations solution. The two scopes and responsibilities remain clear.

03Can the engagement focus only on cash flow or budgeting?+

Yes. A focused project can address one immediate decision or weakness, while keeping connected risks and dependencies visible.

04How often will management meet Financy?+

The cadence is agreed for the need—such as a focused project, monthly CFO review or a more intensive transformation period. It is confirmed in the engagement rather than assumed.

05Will Financy make management decisions for us?+

Financy provides analysis, challenge, options and implementation support. Authorised owners and management remain responsible for business decisions and approvals.
