At FD4theSME, we provide flexible, board-level finance leadership to ambitious small and medium-sized businesses. We understand the challenges founders and leadership teams face when scaling – from managing cashflow pressures and planning for investment, to improving financial visibility and building systems that enable growth.
We work with you to understand where your business is today and where you want it to be – giving you clear financial insight, practical guidance, and the strategic support you need to make confident, forward-looking decisions.
Our Story
FD4theSME was founded by an experienced Finance Director with 15 years in senior finance leadership roles and over 20 years as a qualified accountant.
After working alongside founders, CEOs, and boards across the technology, healthcare, and professional services sectors, I recognised that many growing businesses need expert financial leadership – but not necessarily a full-time FD.
That’s why FD4theSME was created: to offer the benefits of board-level finance expertise on a flexible, part-time basis, tailored to the needs of scaling SMEs.
Based in Cambridge and working with businesses across the UK, we are passionate about helping SMEs unlock their potential through smarter finance, stronger operations, and scalable systems.
How We Work
At FD4theSME, we become a trusted extension of your leadership team – giving you experienced finance support without the full-time cost.
We help you:
- Understand and control your cashflow
- Build robust forecasts and financial plans
- Improve operational processes and systems
- Prepare for funding rounds, growth, or exit
- Turn financial data into actionable business insights
Our approach is collaborative, commercial, and hands-on.
We work closely with founders, leadership teams, and stakeholders to ensure that finance isn’t just about compliance – it’s about driving strategic growth.
Who We Work With
We typically work with:
- Founder-led businesses and ambitious SMEs
- Companies with turnover between £1m–£15m
- Businesses in the technology, healthcare, professional services, and biotech sectors
- Organisations that need senior finance input but don’t yet require a full-time Finance Director
Whether you’re preparing for your next stage of growth, seeking investment, or simply need clearer visibility over your financial performance, FD4theSME can help.
