Financial Direction
for your business

Making the right decisions for your business relies not just on accurate financial and management information. It also takes insight and experience. You shouldn’t be drowning in data. To make good decisions you need clear figures that reflect what’s happening now and what the future is likely to hold.

That’s where I come in: explaining what the numbers mean and helping you navigate your route to business success. I am a Chartered Accountant who specialises in working with business owners to interpret the financial information and highlight the right course of action to deliver improved performance.

Digging beneath the surface of your accounts to find the truth hiding behind the numbers so that you can see how your business strategy will impact on your finances and take action based on reliable information. Wherever you want to take your business – whether you want to diversify, grow, acquire another business or sell the one you’ve got – you need to have clarity and confidence in your figures.

Now, more than ever, having clear reliable information is key to business success.

WHAT I DO

Pound Lane Financial Management provides insightful input into your business – using real-time information to assist you in making key strategic business decisions.

Analysis

Numbers are the cornerstone of everything; what do your accounts say about your business performance? Are you staying on course, are there unforeseen challenges coming in the future?

Timely

When you have a decision to make you need up to date information; don’t rely on last year’s tax accounts. Regular management accounts mean you have the numbers you need when you need them.

Forecasting

You’ve got plans for your business, but will they deliver the profit and cashflow that you need. A forecast puts numbers to the ideas, quantifying what success will look like and flagging up any potholes along the way.

Business Support

In a small business you need to be an expert multitasker: sales, marketing, finance, HR and the rest. I become an integral part of my client’s team offering stability, continuity and straightforward clarity.

Impact

This isn’t about producing reports for their own sake, you need to have figures that show you what action to take and allow you to make informed decisions to steer your business to success.

Insight

When you’re faced with business challenges it’s helpful to tap into experience from someone who’s seen it before; a problem shared is a problem halved. The Pound Lane Insights section features reflections and advice about managing businesses.

GENERATING NEW INSIGHTS CREATING GROWTH

As a business person myself I want to see that my efforts are adding value to your business: a different perspective on a tough decision, an extra pair of hands to research new plans or the experience to recruit and build the team that you need to drive your business growth.

FINANCIAL DIRECTION

When you set out on a journey you need a route map to show you where you need to go to make sure that you reach your planned destination.

Business is no different – you know what you want to achieve but the journey involves tough decisions, uncertainty and all sorts of unexpected challenges.

Financial Direction is about creating that route map for your business journey – putting numbers to your plan to show that it will get you to where you want to be.

When you come across a challenge or you need to make decisions you need up to date, accurate information to help clarify what is the right path for your business.
Now more than ever, having clear, reliable information is the key to business success.

FINANCIAL CLARITY TO ALLOW YOU TO FOCUS ON RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS

It’s lonely being an entrepreneur – everyone expects you to know the answers but you don’t necessarily know any more than anyone else. You’ve got more invested though: your hopes and dreams, and your house too!

CLIENT FEEDBACK

I love working with my clients; they’re what brings the numbers to life. A few have been good enough to comment on how I’ve helped their businesses.
