Freelance finance directors, plugging the gap between your book-keeper and your accountant.

Frequently Asked Questions I already have a book-keeper and an accountant. What can FCA Solutions do that they can’t? This is the case for most of our clients and we are not looking to take the place of these people. Instead we offer a service that they may not be able to provide. The following table shows how our finance director services would dovetail in with the work for your book-keeper and accountant:
This table is an example of a typical situation. In some cases your book-keeper or accountant may carry out some of the tasks that we could carry out. This would not be a problem.
If my company used you as a freelance finance director would you have to become a director of the company? No, we use the term director loosely to describe the level of advice we give. We do not expect to become board directors of the companies we advise, although sometimes we are asked to take on this role.
How does a freelance or outsourced finance director differ from a virtual finance director? Strictly speaking a virtual finance director is one that works remotely, preparing management accounts and other reports electronically. Whilst we do work in this way when it is appropriate, we normally carry out most of our tasks at our clients’ premises where we can work face to face with management and team members. For this reason we prefer to use the terms "freelance" or "outsourced".
Do I need to develop a Business Strategy for my company? Ask yourself these questions: Do you know what you want your business to be like in three years time? Do you have clear goals and objectives to help you achieve that vision? Is your business making as much profit as you would like? Does your business provide you with a lifestyle that you are happy with? Are your employees aware of your vision and committed to helping you achieve it? Are you able to make business decisions quickly and confidently? Are your business objectives integrated into your budgets and employee targets? If you cannot answer "Yes" to the above questions you need to develop a Business Strategy.
