Virtual Financial Director Services
A very common part of the life cycle for an ambitious and fast-growing business is reaching the point where you need the high level of expertise a quality Financial Director can bring, but have not yet reached the point where your budget can stretch to the level of a full-time FD’s salary.
An excellent solution to this problem is to bring your accountant into your business to take on the role of part-time or virtual FD. This gives you access to the skills you need but without breaking the bank or committing to a high salary when perhaps there isn’t the justification to bring someone in full-time.

Sounding board service!
Whilst this may sound a little woolly, we regularly hear from company owners that running a business on your own can sometimes be a lonely place, and it can be difficult to make the right decisions without a second opinion and someone to discuss ideas with. Sometimes you need to be told that an idea is good or bad, and hear a different point of view to sense-check your thinking.
Our FD service can give you access to exactly that, and enable you to enjoy the feeling of support that you may not otherwise be able to experience.
Why choose Approved Accounting?
At Approved Accounting we offer a wide range of services to support growing companies, from day-to-day accounts department services to higher level support for business owners and directors.
It is these high-level services that carry the most value and can have the greatest positive impact on a business, because making the right strategic decisions at key points in the growth cycle of a business can be the difference between success and failure.
Approved Accounting’s FD services are personally offered by our directors, Jon Green and Matt Gair. Both have extensive experience in all of the key areas we’ve talked about above, and have guided many businesses successfully through forecasting, fund raising, implementation, structure changes and business sales/exits amongst other things. Their expertise, experience and no-nonsense approach make them both valuable assets to the companies they work with.
