But not all companies can fork out for a Financial Director…

The Mobile FD provides businesses with affordable and highly experienced Financial Directors on both a short-term and long-term basis. By bypassing agencies, small companies can benefit from expert financial services without the heavy fees.

With a fresh pair of eyes and advanced modelling techniques, we dissect your company’s numbers to wheedle out what’s unprofitable, focus on what’s lucrative, and help you make better business decisions. Whether you’re at the start-up, growth or recovery stage, we offer invaluable fact-based and commercial scrutiny that’ll open your eyes to your business’ potential.

We’ll bring your business’ various accounting and performance data together, presenting the information on a monthly basis in an easily digested performance report. We’ll also help you clarify what you want to do with your business, developing a business plan that’ll not only translate the numbers into plain English, but also serve to enhance the confidence of your investors and lenders.

Area of Expertise

NEW CLIENT PROCESS
Below you’ll find a general outline of the process we go through with all our new clients.

IDENTIFY CURRENT POSITION
In order to move forward successfully, we need to establish what stage your business is at: Start-Up, Growth or Recovery?

CLARIFY CURRENT POSITION
We illuminate the quality of your accounting systems by providing detailed and comprehensive reports on your company’s environment, spreadsheet reliance, formal planning, cash forecasting, cash availability, performance against defined targets, availability, quality and use of non-accounting information, and the level and quality of management’s understanding of accounting and reporting concepts.

IDENTIFY THE VISION
Once we’ve established where your company is at, we help you identify where you want it to go. We work closely with you to define what you want your business to become over a three and five year period. If the business is in a Recovery phase, this stage is still important as it provides a foundation for directed improvement strategies.

DEVELOP BUSINESS GROWTH/RECOVERY STRATEGIES
From the base of an agreed vision, we work with you to consider the ways you can achieve the growth or recovery needed. We then help you to see and understand the steps needed to achieve this, measuring and communicating the probable outcome and likelihood of success.

STRATEGIC PLANNING
It’s all about intelligent strategy. We produce a detailed financial model to investigate the effect on changes in the assumptions you have made so that you can fully understand the steps required. The plan will be flexible so that future changes in assumptions can be easily added.

SIMULATION AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
Using simulation software, we use the financial model we’ve created to interrogate your business, identifying the probabilities of success and illuminating the main areas of risk. We also produce sensitivity analysis to show which inputs have the greatest effect on the desired outcome, and which need the closest management.

IDENTIFY FUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Using the simulation results from the previous step, we coach your business’ management team in being realistic about any further or future funding requirements, and start to put steps in place to achieve this.

PRODUCE FORECAST AND BUDGET
Using the results from the previous steps, we work with the management team to agree a final expected result, formalising that result as a three or five year forecast and a twelve month budget. We pay special attention to the most sensitive inputs of your business and use these areas to influence the design of Key Performance Indicator reporting, which measures and monitors progress.

MANAGE FOR BUSINESS GROWTH
To help you interpret the results of your initiatives and so assist you in managing your business in the most effective way, we’ll continue to work with you as a long-term partner. We’ll address a variety of areas including:

• Managing cash flow – the lifeblood of your business
• Assessing and managing the finance team
• Implementing an appropriate finance system
• Reviewing procedures and controls throughout your business
• Create & implement meaningful reporting, helping you to concentrate on the key decisions
• Analysing continuing performance and identifying areas for improvement
• Planning and making an acquisition or disposal

IMPROVING BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Performance Interpretation
If your business has been running for a while but is starting to present complexities, we can help you understand exactly what’s going on and why. When it comes to business, ignorance is not bliss!

Performance Improvement
If you have an established business but feel you should be getting more out of it, we’ll help you identify the most sensitive areas where you can make the biggest difference most quickly. We’ll then agree a plan to move your business on from there.

Growth Consulting
This is the next stage. The business is well run and understood, so where do we go from here? We’ll help you define what you want your business to be and establish how to get it there. And best of all, we’ll work out how you can fund it. We’ll then stay with you as a long-term partner to make sure you achieve the desired results.

Recovery
If things aren't going so well and are a little slow, we’ll identify your profitable products, services and above all your customers. We’ll then help you structure your business to concentrate on these profitable areas and reduce or even stop less profitable activities. This builds a strong base from which to implement recovery and ultimately your growth strategy.
