Managed CFO, FD & Financial Controller Services
We give start-ups and scale-ups direct access to senior financial leadership — strategic and operational — scaled to exactly how much time your business needs, without the cost or wait of a full-time hire.
You work with one senior finance professional throughout, not a rotating account team or a large matching panel — the same person who understands your business from the first conversation onward.
Why businesses choose FC Plus
CFO and FD-level thinking and experience, without the salary, benefits and equity package of a permanent hire.
The person who onboards you stays with you — no hand-offs, no re-explaining your business to someone new.
Fractional, interim, part-time or outsourced financial controller support — the level of involvement flexes as your business changes, not fixed to one model.
Why FC Plus
Some providers match you with a CFO from a large panel and step back once the introduction is made. Others are recruiters — they place a candidate and move on to the next search. FC Plus is neither. We manage your finance function ourselves, directly, as one coordinated service: the same person who understands your business stays accountable for it, whether the work is strategic or operational, this month or next year.
Direct access. You work with your CFO, FD or FC directly — not through account managers, regional coordinators, or a matching platform.
Genuine continuity. The person who onboards you is the person who stays with you. No hand-offs, no re-explaining your business from scratch.
Fixed, transparent fees. Agreed upfront with no scope creep — you'll never be surprised by an invoice.
One relationship, full stack. Strategic leadership and the operational numbers underneath it are managed together, not split across separate suppliers you have to coordinate yourself.
No long-term lock-in. We earn the relationship every month, not through a contract that's hard to leave.
Founders increasingly want forward-looking financial thinking, not just a monthly report on what already happened — and they want it earlier, before a funding round forces the issue. FC Plus is built around that shift: an entrepreneurial, modern alternative to both the traditional accountant and the corporate CFO network, priced and structured for businesses that need to stay lean while still looking investor-ready.
How It Works
We start with a straightforward conversation about your business, its stage, and the financial challenges keeping you up at night. No pitch, no pressure.
We recommend the right level of support — fractional, interim, part-time or outsourced financial controller — scope exactly what you need, agree a fixed fee, and make sure there's a genuine fit before anything is signed.
Your CFO, FD or FC gets under the skin of your numbers fast — typically within the first few weeks — so you start seeing value early.
Regular working sessions, board-level reporting, and hands-on support as priorities shift — scaling up or down as your business needs change.
Our Services
Managed as one service. Not sure which fits? That's exactly what the first conversation is for — we'll recommend the right mix for your stage, not the one that suits us.
Who We Help
You've outgrown spreadsheets and gut feel, and need someone senior to take ownership of the numbers.
Investors expect rigour — we help you build the reporting and forecasts that stand up to scrutiny.
You need strategic financial leadership but can't yet justify — or don't want — a full-time CFO.
Getting the financial story right, well before a deal is on the table.
About Us
What started as an accountancy practice has evolved alongside the businesses we serve: today we specialise in managed CFO, FD and financial controller support for start-ups and scale-ups that need senior financial leadership but aren't yet ready — or don't need — to hire it full-time. We work directly with founders and leadership teams, not through a large panel or a matching algorithm.
Our philosophy
You can only make good decisions with accurate, timely information — so that's what we give you.
No jargon, no sugar-coating, no doom-mongering. Just a clear read on where your business stands.
We work as part of your team, not as a detached third party sending reports into the void.
