Your CFO

Senior financial leadership for growing businesses.

At a certain point, the financial side of the business needs more than support.

Decisions carry more weight.

There’s more at stake.

And the questions become less about what’s happened – and more about what to do next.

Your CFO gives you the structure, visability and strategic thinking of an experienced Finance Director, without the cost or commitment of employing one full time.

More than a Fractional FD

Many Fractional FDs sell hours.

We work differently.

Your CFO is built around The Affinity Compass – a practical framework that helps businesses understand where they are, decide where they want to go and create the financial structure to get there.

It gives the business:

✔ Clear visibility

✔ Better decisions

✔ Regular accountability

✔ A financial strategy that evolves as the business grows

The Affinity Compass

Four phases. One method.

1. Bearing

Know exactly where the business stands.

We start by understanding the business as it is today.

This first phase brings together the numbers, the business itself and your ambitions – to identify what’s working, what needs attention and the priorities for the months ahead.

2. Course

Connect the numbers to your goals.

Together we create a practical financial roadmap.

The aim is simple: understand where you’re heading, what success looks like and how you’ll know you’re on track.

3. Heading

Run the business with live visibility.

The business moves onto a regular operating rhythm.

Monthly conversations become less about reporting the past and more about managing the future.

The right KPIs, the right dashboard and the right conversations.

4. Horizon

Step back and see the bigger picture.

Every few months we pause and ask:

Are we still building the business we wanted?
What has changed?
What should happen next?

Because the point isn’t simply growth, it’s building the right business.

What Your CFO helps with

Financial Planning

Looking ahead rather than simply reporting what has happened.

Better decisions

Supporting conversations around pricing, hiring, investment and growth.

Visibility

Making sure the numbers are clear, reliable and useful.

Accountability

Creating a rhythm that turns plans into action.

Strategic support

Providing an experienced financial voice as the business evolves.

Three Levels of Support

In Sight

For businesses that want greater control and a clearer understanding of what’s happening.

On Course

For businesses that are growing and need a regular strategic partner.

At the Helm

For businesses making significant decisions around investment, growth or succession.

We’ll recommend the right level after the initial Bearing session.
