Part-Time Finance Director, CFO And NED Services In Wokingham

Experienced board-level advisors to help your business plan ahead, develop its people and perform at its best

For owner-managed businesses in Wokingham, Secantor offers part-time and interim Finance Directors, CFOs, Non-Executive Directors, Operations Directors and Management Accountants. Our advisors work as part of your management team, helping you plan ahead, develop your people, make sound decisions and improve performance. The result is board-level experience on tap, without the cost of a full-time hire.

Businesses in the villages nearby and across Berkshire are equally welcome.

Secantor provides part-time Finance Directors, CFOs, Non-Executive Directors and Operations Directors to owner-managed businesses in Wokingham where growth has outpaced the structure behind it.

Wokingham has a strong base of technology, engineering, professional services and construction businesses, with many on business parks such as Winnersh Triangle. Competition for experienced senior people from larger employers nearby is strong, which makes part-time senior support an attractive alternative.

The call usually comes when decisions rest with one person, the management team needs more depth, or a funding, acquisition or succession choice is on the horizon. Part-time support brings director-level experience without the overhead, and interim cover can fill a gap while you recruit. Our article on why SMEs should develop their teams explains why this matters.

Who Can Secantor Put Alongside A Wokingham Business Owner?

Secantor can place the right senior advisor alongside owner-managed businesses in Wokingham, depending on what the business needs most, and in many cases a single advisor brings the breadth of experience needed.

Our advisors are broad as well as deep: a core specialism sits alongside wide commercial and board experience, and where a specialist skill is needed they can bring in other Secantor colleagues and contacts from our professional network. We recommend the advisor whose experience and personality fit best, with others available to meet if you want to compare.

The main areas of support are:

Strategy and growth: a Fractional CFO for funding, growth plans and preparing the business for sale.
Reporting and control: a Fractional Finance Director for the figures behind good decisions.
Governance and challenge: a Non-Executive Director to bring an independent view to the board.
Leadership cover: an Interim Finance Director or Interim CFO for a gap, a project or a transition.
Operations and performance: a Fractional Operations Director to improve how the business runs.
Management information: a Part-Time Management Accountant for timely reporting to the leadership team.

Secantor's advisors work with owner-managed businesses in Wokingham as part of the management team, and each engagement is shaped around what you need most.

We begin with a conversation about the business, then suggest the right advisor. If you would rather meet several first, we are happy to arrange that. From there the advisor works alongside you and your team on the plan you agree. Our article on what a Fractional CFO does in the first 90 days gives a feel for the early months.

Owners in Wokingham most often ask Secantor whether it suits a business of their size, what it costs and how it works alongside what they already have.

Is Secantor right for a business of our size?

Secantor works with owner-managed businesses, typically with turnover between £3m and £50m, where the owner or leadership team has outgrown the support it has. If you are near either end of that range, a conversation will show whether part-time senior support fits.

What does board-level support cost in Wokingham?

Our Finance Director, CFO and Non-Executive Director time is £1,200 per day, plus VAT and expenses. How that adds up over a month is covered in our guide to how much a Fractional CFO costs in the UK.

What if the business is growing faster than its systems?

This is common. Our advisors help put in place the planning, reporting and processes that let a growing business run without everything depending on the owner. Read more about how we help you improve operational efficiency.

Can an interim advisor start at short notice?

Yes. An interim Finance Director or CFO can usually start at short notice, taking control of reporting and cash while you decide on the longer term arrangement. See our Interim Finance Director service.

Is a Non-Executive Director worth having in a business our size?

Often, yes. An independent perspective at board level helps most when the owner is carrying big decisions alone, and a Non-Executive Director can also help develop the management team. Details of the role are on our Non-Executive Director page.

Will you replace our accountant?

No. Your accountant keeps the compliance and records, and Secantor focuses on board-level support. We do not provide bookkeeping or outsourced accounts.
