Three clients. Different starting points, but the same shift: greater clarity, confidence and control over the financial decisions that matter. Here is what they say changed.
"It's not an exaggeration to say that engaging Sara to support us as our fractional FD has been transformational for our emerging business — in terms of information and control.
Added to that, the provision of multi-year forecasts has dramatically increased our confidence when taking key decisions around forward planning.
It's a game changer."
"Sorting out my Xero account gave me real confidence in the system, as if you can't trust your numbers then it's very difficult to run a business. The financial forecasting helped me make the decision to employ, which has made my day-to-day way easier to manage and allowed my business to grow further. Sara's depth of knowledge, hard work and friendly approach make it a no brainer. She's a joy to work with."
"As we grew as a business, the gut feeling figures that were fine day to day no longer served me as well as they did when I was by myself in my garage. Now my financial understanding has grown, but most importantly, I can direct my efforts where they are needed. Having our main investor be thoroughly pleased with the quality of our new reporting gave me a real sense of peace and confidence. Sara is pragmatic and supportive, and her background in the arts gives her an understanding of our unique challenges that others in finance lack. Fractional is the logical step for that grey indeterminate stage of growth. Having a fractional CFO is like having an ace up your sleeve."
