Fractional CFO & Accountancy Partnerships

Before working with Harriet, I wanted to feel more in control of my finances and have better financial education. I was less afraid of the financials in my business but now I am in control of them. I have better systems in place, I check in regularly and have an up-to-date forecast, which allows me to feel calmer and more in control. I also love our quarterly check-ins.

What stood out about working with Harriet is that she's totally non-judgemental, kind and considerate, as well as honest and totally on it. There have been times where my mental health has been in a bad place and I've so appreciated the extra support. Harriet has also made complex things feel simpler with her support and guidance.

She understands my business and how I want to work and 100% supports me in that. Since working with Harriet I've seen an uplift in revenue and it's certainly helped to feel more confident with my finances.

Before working with Harriet, we wanted to remove the mystery around our finances and be clear where we were at and map out a forecast for the future and change our company structure.

Since working with Harriet, I became Co-Director! We split shares in the company and agreed on a memorandum of understanding for all eventualities. We now have a clear financial plan, and know how much money we need to bring in and by when. We have payroll and dividends worked out and have hit our targets.

What stands out about working with Harriet is that she doesn't use jargon or speak from a script - there's no gatekeeping. She explains things in an accessible way and has a can-do attitude, so it really feels like she is invested in our success. We now feel held and in control when it comes to our finances, and Harriet's accountant-meets-coach style has helped us shift our mindset to one of empowerment rather than avoidance.

We recommend Harriet to everyone!

I trust Harriet completely and know that she is on top of absolutely everything with my business. The fact that she proactively brings up ideas, potential problems, and updates that I would have never even known about is such a breath of fresh air. I also appreciate her organisation and her Loom videos that explain everything I need to know - so thorough.

I found Harriet as I was being off-boarded at my old accounting firm. I was feeling like I didn't have a proper overview of the accounting side of my business. Harriet jumped straight in and was able to solve problems that my old firm had been putting off and not paying attention to. She also uncovered some fines that I hadn't been alerted to and she fixed it all. On top of that, she came in and organised my P&L to be much easier to understand.

I wish I had started working with Harriet sooner. She feels like a part of my own team.

Before working with Harriet, we were hoping to gain a better understanding of our business finances and achieve financial clarity to allow us to make changes to the business. Since we started working together, we have much greater confidence in making financial decisions.

What stands out about working with Harriet is that she provides pragmatic and helpful advice in a clear and straightforward format. As a business owner who does not have a financial background, Harriet takes the time to provide useful and structured guidance to allow us to make effective decisions.

When I set up my CIC, I knew one of my biggest knowledge gaps was around finance. After speaking with several accountants, it became clear that I didn't just want someone to file paperwork - I wanted to learn alongside someone. Speaking with Harriet confirmed that what I really needed was a partner: someone who understood CICs and social enterprises.

The biggest shift has been in my confidence. Having regular catch-ups with Harriet - and knowing she's always on hand for any questions has made me feel so much more grounded and supported. My CIC has gone from feeling financially uncertain to becoming much more stable and resilient.

Harriet's patience - especially with my occasional panic around money - has made a huge difference. She's incredibly generous with her time and makes things clear and easy to understand. It's rare to find someone who combines technical skill with such a supportive, relational approach.

We engaged with Harriet to supplement our statutory accountant services with FD Services. We had been struggling to resource these sort of services internally or with our existing accountant, and it was a breath of fresh air to be able to simply add it on, on a flexible basis.

Harriet helped to devise a creative legitimate solution to our revenue recognition problem, as well as help us with optimisation of our finance software. We implemented Transferwise with her help and also applied for 2 successful grants.

I'd recommend engaging with BTLF if you are a small business looking for extra support above and beyond simple Tax requirements, especially if you don't have an FD appointed in-house. Harriet is productive, collaborative and has really useful ideas.

Since we've started working together, I always feel confident that my business is on the right track for constant growth and development. Having a level-headed ally to run my thoughts past has been invaluable.

What stood out about working with Harriet is that she is so supportive in every aspect. From highlighting any liabilities I might not have known about, to making sure I have all the tools in place for my business to keep thriving. She is always calm and cool – she is so good at explaining things and bringing new perspectives to my business.

Harriet ALWAYS has time for me and she's always super helpful with great suggestions and insights on how your business can be the best it's ever been.

She is the best ally you'll ever have!
