🌟 TESTIMONIALS 🌟
✨ Because businesses big and small, need a solid finance function to succeed! ✨
Full transparency…
Mini CFO is likely NOT a good fit for you if …
❌ You are trying to source the cheapest service on the market
❌ You are not looking to make any changes or improvements in your business
❌ You prefer to only speak to an accountant once a year
❌ You favour the old ways, inefficient processes and that trusty desktop version of Sage 😉
❌ You only have a very short-term need for CFO input (Instead one of Harriet’s other offerings might suit you better such as a one-off finance consultation call, perhaps a CFO project or dip into our mentoring training offering).
But Mini CFO is likely to be a GREAT fit for you if …
✅ You are ready to Fractional CFO advice on at least a 3-6 month basis.
✅ You have some serious plans, goals and aspirations for your mission-led business
✅ You value commercial insight and a proactive approach.
✅ You embrace new ideas and innovative technology (even if it sometimes confuses you!)
✅ You are looking for a trusted finance partner to support your business journey

A Fractional CFO like a normal CFO – but instead of taking on a full time hire, you gain access on a more part time, or fractional basis
Supporting with activities like:
Business Planning, Budgeting, and Goal-setting
To help you align your business model and finances with your unique aspirations in a tangible action-orientated way and reach your destination more quickly and use your resources sustainably.
Routine Business Decision Making and Advice around Key Milestones
Helping you make informed decisions that support your business goals – such as when to make an investment, pivot into a new market, hire or restructure.
Profitable Pricing Strategies
Helping you develop pricing strategies that ensure you are fairly compensated for your time and effort, while also allowing you to invest in your business.
This includes savvy pricing positioning, modelling your results and profits based on pricing and advice on pricing in contract negotiations.
Raising funds for your Next Phase of Growth
Providing guidance and financial models for raising funds through grants, loans, and investments, including support with creating rigorous and compelling applications and business plans.
Cashflow Forecasting for Peace of Mind
Forecasting your cash removes the guesswork and fear from managing costs, essentials, and aspirations, without any nasty surprises. It’s about foresight and reacting to any shortfalls smoothly.
Reviewing and Improving your Commercial Performance
Performance review is important so that you can strategise, plan and respond in a savvy way to what is actually happening, rather than reacting to what you think is happening.
Fit for Purpose Finance Systems and Processes
Support you to set up scalable and insightful finance systems and processes that can handle an increase in customers without resulting in overloaded capabilities, reducing delays, overwork, and stress at minimal cost.
Act as a Sounding Board and Business Partner
Bounce around new ideas and problem-solving, providing relevant expertise and proactive advice on the business finance implications and strategies for success.
Supporting you with Difficult Conversations
Helping you with hard decisions and conversations such as crisis management, negotiations, dealing with customers who pay late, or crafting price increase letters that may feel intimidating to send out.
