A Finance Director brings enormous value to a growing business, but not every business needs one full time. Ambitious businesses are turning more-and-more to Outsourced FDs, who combine exceptional experience with greater flexibility.
"Gravitate played a key role in strengthening our internal finance function and recruiting top-tier senior finance support. Their Outsourced Finance Director service provided us with the expertise we needed to scale from £15million to £45 million in revenue.
"The Gravitate team have been more than just advisers—they’ve been true partners in our growth journey. Their deep understanding of business finance, combined with a forward-thinking and personal approach, makes them stand out in the industry."
A Finance Director is a multi-faceted role, covering your entire finance function, which includes:
Having to deal with these responsibilities yourself can be an enormous stressor, not to mention distraction from the day-to-day running of your business.
In an ideal world, every business would have its own dedicated finance team to look after all of this. But bringing all of this expertise in house permanently may not be feasible.
Whatever your business size or industry, an Outsourced Finance Director gives you the tools, technology, knowledge and strategic insight you would expect only the biggest corporations to have.
"With Gravitate's expertise, we grew our turnover from £4m to £29m, secured £2m in funding to fuel our growth, and achieved a remarkable 10x EBITDA exit.
"Their strategic guidance and hands-on approach were instrumental in achieving these results. We cannot recommend their services highly enough."
