From the books to the board
Independent, FD-led finance for growing businesses. I run your finance function end to end, with one qualified Finance Director accountable for every number.
The books
Records, reconciliations, VAT
Management accounts
Monthly results, with commentary
Cash and forecasts
What is coming, and what to do about it
The board
Reporting lenders and directors can rely on
Each layer is built on the one beneath it, so I look after all of them.
When the business grows faster than its finance
Most growing businesses reach this point before a full-time Finance Director makes sense. That gap is where I work.
-
Numbers you can rely on
Accurate monthly figures, so decisions are based on where the business really stands.
-
Cash you can plan around
A clear view of what is coming in and going out, before it becomes a problem.

Reporting others trust
Board, lender and investor reporting that stands up to scrutiny.

About
I'm a Fellow of the ACCA and a CPA (Canada) with over 15 years in senior finance, including Finance Director roles in property development, aviation, international consulting and manufacturing.
I've led finance teams, managed multi-entity and cross-border reporting, and worked closely with lenders, boards and owners. I set up RND Advisory to give growing businesses that level of finance leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.
I'm hands-on by choice. I would rather fix the numbers than just comment on them.
Let's talk about your finance
An informal, no-obligation conversation about where things stand and whether I can help.
