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, with clear accountability across strategic and operational work — this month and 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.
Ongoing, board-level strategic input on a recurring part-time basis, flexed up during intensive periods such as fundraising. Your fractional CFO builds financial models, owns forecasting and cash flow strategy, prepares investor-ready reporting, and gives you a strategic sounding board without a full-time salary.
Best for: businesses that need senior thinking regularly, but not every day.
Full-time, hands-on cover for a defined period. Interim support fills a genuine leadership gap: a sudden departure, a transition, an urgent fundraise, or rapid change that needs someone fully embedded, leading the finance team and stabilising reporting from day one.
Best for: businesses that need someone fully in the seat, right now.
A senior finance professional working with you on fixed, regular days each week or month — more embedded than fractional input, without the cost of a full-time hire. You get consistent leadership covering both strategic decisions and the operational detail underneath them.
Best for: businesses that have outgrown fractional support but aren't ready to commit to a permanent hire.
The engine room underneath the strategy. Your outsourced FC manages management accounts, bookkeeping oversight, financial reporting, compliance and internal controls, keeping the numbers accurate and timely. Available standalone or bundled as part of a fully managed finance function.
Best for: businesses that need the operational finance function professionalised, not just the strategic layer.
Other ways to work with us
Brought in for a defined piece of work — such as leading a fundraising round or implementing a new ERP system — then stepping back once it is delivered.
Strategic advice, financial model review and mentoring for your existing team, with no day-to-day or team-management responsibility.

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.
