The right level of financial expertise, exactly when you need it.
Every business is different. Some need ongoing senior finance leadership. Others need to strengthen their finance function or tackle a specific challenge. Inspiro provides experienced, practical support shaped around your business, not a fixed formula.
The experience of a Finance Director. Without the full-time commitment.
Not every business needs a Finance Director five days a week. But many would benefit from having one in the room.
Inspiro provides ongoing, senior-level financial leadership tailored to the needs of your business — from attending board meetings and advising the leadership team, to one or two days a week working alongside management.
The role can be strategic, hands-on or a combination of both. What matters is having an experienced financial voice involved in the decisions that shape your business.
Anything from one day a quarter to two days a week.
Practical, commercially focused support across the areas that matter most.
Attending board meetings, contributing financial insight, challenging assumptions and supporting informed decisions.
Working with owners and directors on business strategy, growth plans, investment priorities and longer-term objectives.
Acting as a trusted financial sounding board for commercial decisions, opportunities and challenges.
Developing the capability and confidence of the existing finance team, providing senior oversight and guidance.
Helping management understand performance, identify risks and opportunities, and take ownership of financial outcomes.
Providing senior oversight of financial planning, cash flow, reporting and controls without replacing the existing finance team.
When finance needs fixing, not just maintaining.
As businesses grow and change, their finance functions don't always keep pace. Reporting becomes less useful, processes become inefficient and systems may no longer support the way the business operates.
Inspiro helps identify what's working, what isn't and what needs to change. The focus is on building a more effective finance function, with better information, clearer responsibilities and processes that work in practice.
Practical changes that make finance clearer, more efficient and better equipped to support your business.
Improving the quality, relevance and timeliness of financial information so it supports better decisions.
Reviewing existing software and identifying opportunities for more effective systems, automation and better use of technology.
Strengthening financial processes, internal controls and the way information flows through the business.
Creating a more reliable, efficient month-end process and improving the information available to management.
Improving the visibility of project costs, margins and performance, particularly for project-based businesses.
Making sure the right responsibilities, skills and accountability are in place across the finance function.
Transformation typically involves more intensive support at the beginning, followed by a gradual reduction in involvement as new processes, systems and responsibilities become established.
The aim is to leave your business with a stronger, more capable finance function, not a permanent dependence on outside support.
Review the existing finance function, identify challenges and agree priorities.
Introduce better processes, reporting, systems and ways of working.
Establish responsibilities and help the team work confidently with the new arrangements.
Transition to the internal team, with ongoing fractional support if it remains useful.
The right expertise for the challenge in front of you.
Not every financial challenge requires an ongoing appointment. Sometimes what's needed is experienced senior finance input for a particular decision, problem or project.
Inspiro provides focused advisory support with a clearly defined scope, deliverables and timeframe. Whether you're planning for growth, preparing for a transaction or reviewing how your finance function operates, the aim is to provide practical insight and a clear way forward.
Examples of the projects and decisions where experienced financial perspective can make a difference.
Integrated financial modelling, forecasting and scenario analysis, alongside Power BI reporting and exploration of API integrations to automate data flows and improve financial insight.
Translating business ambitions into integrated three or five-year plans, connecting revenue, margins, people, investment and funding requirements.
Helping businesses prepare their financial information and supporting documentation for a potential transaction, including data room readiness.
An independent assessment of what's working, what isn't and where reporting, systems, processes or automation could be improved.
Identifying the financial capability your business actually needs, defining responsibilities and shaping the right team before making recruitment decisions.
Supporting the development of short- and long-term incentive arrangements, including EMI share option schemes, alongside succession and management ownership planning, working in collaboration with specialist tax and legal advisers.
Each engagement is shaped around a particular need, with an agreed scope, deliverables and timeframe. You get experienced finance input focused on the work that needs doing, without a commitment to ongoing support you may not need.
You don't need to have all the answers before getting in touch.
Whether your finance function needs a fresh perspective, you're facing a particular challenge or you're considering senior finance support, let's start with a conversation about your business.
