What exactly is a virtual finance controller?
A virtual finance controller is a financial executive who provides a range of financial management services to businesses on an ad-hoc basis. Working remotely, a virtual finance controller provides their expertise in a range of services including assessment of your business, reviews of systems and processes, management of your finance team to name a few.
Why do we offer this service?
The idea for this service was born out of our experience in trying to gain access to high quality staff for a short period of time. We never needed a draftsman full time or for a set amount of hours each week but someone available on an ad-hoc basis. Based on this experience, we made the decision to offer our services as a virtual financial controller to fill that gap in the market.
