Wallingford owner-managers who want senior input can draw on Secantor's part-time and interim Finance Directors, CFOs, Non-Executive Directors, Operations Directors and Management Accountants. An advisor becomes a working part of your leadership team, helping you plan with clarity, develop your people, tackle the tough decisions and grow value.

Secantor provides part-time Finance Directors, CFOs, Non-Executive Directors and Operations Directors to owner-managed businesses in Wallingford that are ready to build on what they have achieved.

Wallingford is a historic market town on the Thames with a growing mix of science and technology, engineering, professional services, food and hospitality businesses, helped by nearby business and science parks. Many are run by their founders, who know their markets well but are stretched across every part of the business.

Extra senior capacity helps most at moments of change: a bigger contract, a new product, a step up in funding or the first thoughts of an exit. Part-time advisors fit that need without a permanent salary, and an interim advisor can take charge of a single project from start to finish. Our article on what buyers value in a business shows where the effort pays back.

Who Would Be The Right Secantor Advisor For Your Wallingford Business?

Secantor can introduce Wallingford businesses to experienced Fractional Finance Directors, CFOs, Non-Executive Directors and Operations Directors, and for many owners a single advisor brings the breadth of commercial and board-level experience the business needs.

Each advisor has a main discipline but also a wide commercial background, and for specialist questions they can lean on colleagues and contacts from across Secantor. We propose the advisor whose skills and style suit you, with others to meet if you want to weigh up your options.

The main areas of support include:

Planning for growth or sale: a Fractional CFO to shape the strategy, line up funding and prepare the business for its next owner.
Financial control and insight: a Fractional Finance Director to turn forecasts, cash and margins into clear decisions.
Challenge at the top table: a Non-Executive Director to test your thinking and keep the board on track.
Temporary senior leadership: an Interim Finance Director or Interim CFO for a vacancy, a project or a period of change.
Running the business better: a Fractional Operations Director to improve processes, delivery and the management team.
Regular management accounts: a Part-Time Management Accountant for reliable monthly reporting.

Wallingford owners usually ask Secantor whether it works with their kind of business, how much it costs and how involved they will need to be.

We are a technology or engineering business. Does Secantor work with companies like ours?

How much does an advisor cost in Wallingford?

Can you help us grow without losing control of the numbers?

How involved will I need to be?

As involved as you want. Most owners meet their advisor regularly to set priorities and review progress, and the advisor handles the detailed work between meetings.

Is a Non-Executive Director only for larger companies?

No. Many owner-managed businesses benefit from an experienced outsider on the board who asks the questions no one else will. Read about the Non-Executive Director role on our dedicated page.

Does Secantor do our accounts or bookkeeping?

No. Your accountant carries on as before and Secantor works above them as a senior advisor. We do not provide bookkeeping or outsourced accounts.
