Financial Services

The FD Centre is the world's number 1 provider of part-time Finance Directors to SMEs with over 450 FDs/CFOs operating out of 70+ offices across 5 continents and managing a combined turnover of £5 billion.Ambitious £2m - £50m turnover companies are able to have one of the country's top Finance Directors working at their business but uniquely, on a part-time basis.This means that companies which do not require a full-time FD (or would prefer not to pay a full time salary) can leverage the skills of a senior part-time FD for a fraction of the cost.In addition to this, the FD Centre operates a unique 'Team'​ structure. With over 100 part-time FDs across the UK, we have an unparalleled combined skill set which each of our client can leverage...What do we mean by this?As an example, if one of our clients is wanting to sell their business, instead of just having one FD working on the sale, our 'Team'​ structure means that we can collaborate quickly across our entire group of FDs not only to help maximise the equity value of the business pre-sale but also in helping to find the ideal buyer, willing to pay the highest price.This is just one example. We do in fact help businesses across a wide range of functions including:- Strategy and exit planning- Risk management- Business planning- Funding - Internal controls- Reporting - Profit improvement- Cash flow management- Compliance - Tax planning and legal issues- Outsourcing- Banking relationship In addition to our UK team we also have offices in Australia, South Africa, Canada, Singapore, NetherlandsNo recruitment fee
