Financial Controller
Executive-Level Financial Leadership — Delivered Remotely, Priced Realistically
Growing businesses hit a critical inflection point: basic bookkeeping no longer cuts it, but hiring a full-time Financial Controller means significant salary investment plus benefits, pension, and recruitment costs. There's a smarter solution.
As a Chartered Accountant with over 30 years of senior finance experience, I provide outsourced Financial Controller services that give you C-suite financial expertise without the permanent headcount — whether you're scaling rapidly, navigating funding rounds, or preparing for exit.
Is Outsourced Financial Controller Support Right for Your Business?
This service is ideal if your business is:
- Experiencing rapid growth or significant change
- Preparing for investment, acquisition, or exit
- Outgrowing basic bookkeeping but not ready for full-time CFO
- Operating across UK/EU with complex compliance needs
- Requiring professional financial reporting for stakeholders
- Seeking senior financial expertise without permanent employment costs
UK ↔ Portugal
Cross-Border Reporting, Handled Directly
Many of my clients aren't purely UK-based or purely EU-based — they're British-owned businesses operating from Portugal, or UK companies with a Portuguese arm. I work across both systems day to day, so reporting, compliance, and cash flow oversight stay coherent instead of falling into the gap between two accountants who don't talk to each other.
Where this typically helps
UK-owned SMEs with a Portuguese entity or remote team · British business owners who've relocated and need continuity on UK-facing reporting · EU businesses expanding into the UK market · Anyone weighing up whether a remote team abroad creates unexpected tax exposure.
