The Service

Part-Time Finance Director for Growing Businesses

Experienced FD support without full-time commitment

Are you making decisions without clear numbers?

Do you have constant cashflow pressure?

Do you know your real profit?

Has your business outgrown your finance setup?

A part-time Finance Director (FD) gives your business the structure, insight, and financial control it needs—without the cost of a full-time hire.

At Oakstead Advisory, we provide flexible FD support for owner-managed businesses that want to strengthen financial management and improve overall performance.

What?

What a Part-Time FD Does

A Finance Director focuses on the financial health, direction, and performance of your business—not just reporting the numbers, but helping you use them to make better decisions.

We help you understand your financial position clearly, improve cashflow management, strengthen reporting and controls, and support key planning and growth decisions. Just as importantly, we act as a trusted commercial sounding board when decisions matter most.

When?

When Businesses Need an FD

Most businesses come to us when they recognise patterns like:

  • Growth in turnover, but limited financial control
  • Heavy reliance on an accountant for backward-looking reports
  • A need for forward-looking financial planning
  • Cashflow becoming tight or unpredictable
  • Key decisions being made without full financial visibility

The Process

Our Approach is Flexible and Scalable

We work closely with you and your team, providing practical, hands-on financial leadership.

This typically includes monthly reporting and insight, cashflow forecasting, budgeting and financial modelling, and support with funding or investment decisions. Alongside this, we provide ongoing commercial advice to help you move the business forward with confidence.
