A Fractional Finance Director you’ve probably never had
Most businesses turning over £1m or more need Finance Director thinking long before they can justify a full-time FD, so they go without. With us you get Euan as your Fractional Finance Director, for a fixed monthly fee, from quarterly meetings to a monthly growth meeting and same-day WhatsApp: 32 years alongside owner-managed businesses, more than ten years on boards, and a finance team underneath that keeps the numbers right.
The person you call before the decision. Not after it.
Knowing what happened is useful. Knowing why it happened is more valuable. Knowing what to do next is where experience matters.
Euan has spent 15 years helping businesses scale and exit, and has helped directors turn round businesses in difficulty. That judgement sits on top of a finance function we run ourselves, so the advice starts from numbers you can trust.

Questions owners ask
What is a Fractional Finance Director?
A Fractional (or outsourced) Finance Director does the same job as an in-house FD, part-time: reads the numbers, spots what is changing, and helps you decide on pricing, people, cash, tax and growth. You get the judgement without the full-time salary.
Do I need Total Accounting as well?
Yes. FD advice is only as good as the numbers underneath it. Our Growth package includes the full finance function, so the figures in every meeting are ones we have prepared and checked.
We already have a finance manager. Can you still help?
Yes. Your team keeps doing the day-to-day work. Every month we check and fix the numbers, and your Finance Director works alongside your finance manager, with everything in Total Clarity.
How much advice do I get?
It depends on your package: a quarterly meeting with your Finance Director on Clarity, or a monthly growth meeting and your Finance Director on WhatsApp on Growth. The fee is fixed, so you never hesitate to pick up the phone to the team. Calls are answered in three seconds and emails the same day.
Can you help us prepare for a sale or investment?
Yes. Euan has spent 15 years helping businesses scale and exit. Talk it through at a meeting with Euan and we will tell you honestly what needs to happen first.
