By utilising our expertise as an outsourced part-time finance director, your business can benefit from strategic financial guidance without the burden of hiring a full-time executive.

Here, we highlight how DWilkinson&Company can serve as an outsourced finance director and the diverse range of tasks and responsibilities we can undertake to drive the financial performance of your business.

Financial strategy and planning

As your outsourced finance director, one of our primary roles is to develop and execute a comprehensive financial strategy aligned with your business's objectives. This involves creating long-term financial plans, budgeting, and forecasting. We will help you to set clear financial goals, identify key performance indicators, and develop strategies to achieve them. This strategic oversight ensures that financial decisions are made with a forward-thinking perspective.

Cash flow management

Healthy cash flow is crucial to the success of any business. As your outsourced finance director, we can play a critical role in optimising cash flow by monitoring income and expenses, identifying potential cash flow gaps, and implementing measures to address them. We can also advise on effective working capital management to ensure the business has sufficient liquidity to cover its operational needs.

Financial reporting and analysis

Accurate and timely financial reporting is vital for informed decision-making. We can prepare regular financial statements, analyse financial data, and provide meaningful insights to help you understand your business's economic performance. We can also generate customised management reports tailored to the specific needs of your business, which can significantly improve decision-making.

Risk management and compliance

Compliance with UK tax and accounting regulations and mitigating financial risks are paramount when running a business. As your outsourced finance director, we ensure your company adheres to the relevant accounting standards, tax laws, and regulatory requirements. We can also develop risk management strategies, internal controls, and fraud prevention measures to protect the business's financial assets and reputation.

Cost optimisation and profitability enhancement

DWilkinson&Company has a keen eye for identifying areas where costs can be controlled and profitability can be enhanced. We can conduct cost-benefit analyses, evaluate pricing strategies, and recommend cost-saving initiatives. We can work with you to improve your bottom line by optimising financial processes and resource allocation.

Investment and financing strategies

When it comes to capital allocation, DWilkinson&Company can guide you and your senior management team in making informed decisions about investments and financing options. We can assess the feasibility of new projects, evaluate potential funding sources, and work with you to try and negotiate favourable terms with lenders or investors. Our expertise can help businesses secure the capital needed for growth and expansion.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) support

As an outsourced finance director, we can provide invaluable support in the event of mergers, acquisitions, or divestitures. We can perform due diligence, assess the financial viability of transactions, and develop integration plans to ensure a seamless transition.
