Flexible Finance Services When You Need Them (and Not When You Don’t).

Cash flow. It’s the curse of most businesses. If you’re not chasing people to pay you then you’re probably busy paying others for services to your business. It’s often tough just to keep the business standing still, let alone grow it!

In order to grow, your business needs strong and experienced financial leadership. Your Finance Leader will build slick and efficient financial systems to provide management information that truly informs your leadership and informs your strategy for future growth. Traditional accountancy services and finance structures simply don’t meet the flexibility and agility that new and scale up businesses need in order to grow and thrive in fiercely competitive world markets. And yet, employing a full time Finance Director and finance team is expensive, time consuming and often unrealistic.

The Smart Team was created to help exactly those sort of businesses. Businesses, like yours, that have the ambition and drive to succeed but need the insight an experienced Financial Director can provide. By being flexible, we reflect the changing world for emerging and scale up businesses and are perfectly positioned to help them grow.
