Bookkeeping. Controller. CFO. One team, one relationship, integrated from transaction recording to strategy. Built for owner-managed small and mid-sized businesses that need senior-level financial oversight without building a department.
Each layer builds on the one below. Start anywhere. Scale up as you grow.
The foundation. Clean, accurate transaction recording — supervised by a CGMA, not a solo bookkeeper.
Financial management and reporting. Management accounts by the 5th, KPI dashboards, cash flow forecasting.
Strategic financial leadership. M&A, fundraising, investor relations, board reporting, scenario modeling.

Your bookkeeper's work is reviewed by a controller. Your controller's work is reviewed by a CFO. Stuart Wilson, ACMA CGMA, oversees every engagement personally.
Management accounts, KPI dashboards, and cash flow updates — delivered by the 5th business day of every month. Not the 15th, not "when we get to it."
Start with bookkeeping. Add controller when you need reporting. Add CFO when you need strategy. Drop any layer anytime. Month-to-month, always.
30-minute call. We'll map your current finance function, identify gaps, and recommend exactly which layers you need — and which you don't. No pitch, just clarity.
