ABOUT KW FINANCE DIRECTOR SERVICES LIMITED

As a Chartered Accountant with more than 27 years experience in senior commercial finance and accountancy practice roles, I can provide a unique service to small to medium sized enterprises that are looking to develop and expand their operations.

I began my professional training with a Sussex based firm of Chartered Accountants, where I learnt the fundamentals of bookkeeping and accounting from working with a client base of generally smaller businesses. I also developed an appreciation of the issues such organisations can face.

I then moved to a national accountancy practice, providing audit, accounting and other business services to a wide variety of clients with turnovers ranging from under £1m to £60m. This is when I learnt how to interpret the numbers in a set of accounts in terms of understanding business performance.

I left general practice and went on to work for various commercial organisations in senior finance roles. I have overseen the accounting processes for businesses with turnovers ranging from £13m to £270m and staff numbers ranging from 100 to 3,000 people across multiple sites.

Business planning and cash flow management

Integrating the accounting processes of acquired businesses with the rest of the organisation

Being a key player in an Administration / CVA (company voluntary arrangement), successfully restructuring a substantial business that still continues to this day

Attending Board meetings as Company Secretary, acting as the point of liaison for the directors and shareholders

In 2010 I decided to put all this experience to work in my own business. KW Finance Director Services was set up to provide part-time finance director services to small and medium-sized businesses in the Brighton & Sussex area.

If you would like to arrange a free, no-obligation meeting to help me understand your business and for us to discuss how I can add value to your organisation, please phone, e-mail or write using the following details:

I can provide the critical expertise and guidance of an in-house Finance Director without incurring the expense of creating a full-time position

The FD's primary responsibility is to manage and develop the finance function so that it can support the ambition and strategic vision of business managers/owners. As your part-time Finance Director, you can expect me to perform a number of different roles.

First and foremost, I will oversee the functional work of your bookkeeper/accounts team and help them manage the cashflow. This will create time for you to concentrate on growing your business safe in the knowledge that all the fundamental accounting processes are in hand and the business won't suddenly run out of money.

By working alongside you to obtain a detailed understanding of your business:

timely and relevant financial reports can be provided that identify where efficiency gains can be made and if cost savings can be achieved without harming the business

I will be a regular presence at your premises each month and available as a finance sounding board. My job is to help find solutions to problems and test new ideas. When required I will be at your side when presenting the business to banks, investors and other stakeholders.

When specialist advice is required, I will bring it your attention. There may be a requirement to seek advice on complex accounting or taxation matters, or on IT based finance or stock management systems, that will help control the substantial overhead costs that can quickly accumulate from these areas.

You can expect me to have the technical ability and communication skills to ensure all the key players in the business understand the financial picture, so that everyone is pulling in the same direction.

business partners

Client billing terms being structured more favourably for the company

Providing supplemental reports to give transparency over the profitability achieved by each of the company's income-streams / projects and monitor overhead costs

Business planning

Leading the budget setting process and subsequent re-forecasting exercises, so that the business is able to look forward and plan its resources accordingly

Producing regular cashflow projections so that cash shortfall hotspots can be identified in time for action to be taken to avoid an unnecessary crisis – banks will usually be understanding in providing additional short term finance provided they are informed in good time and retain confidence that the business is under control

Finance presence in the business

Actively participating in management/board meetings, delivering and interpreting the company's trading results and pulling out the key financial issues for the business

Assisting with general company strategy in providing a dedicated higher level finance sounding board to support good decision-making

To generally increase transparency over the company's financial performance and likely future trajectory, thereby creating opportunities to identify efficiency gains/cost savings

Liaising with business partners

Being the lead contact with the company's external accountants/auditors and tax advisors, overseeing the preparation of year end working papers to ensure the annual compliance fees charged by these firms can be kept to a minimum

Can't my year end accountant provide these services?

Accountancy firms have traditionally focussed on year end accounting, audit and tax compliance work, and more specialist tax planning and corporate finance services. They can also provide an invaluable helpdesk for technical issues, VAT advice, etc. on specific matters. They are usually highly skilled and able to provide value for money in the delivery of such essential services.
