Services
L4 Financial Management provides part time finance director services to SMEs based in Newcastle and throughout the North East.
Get In TouchAs someone with more than 20 years’ experience in the corporate world, and as a business owner myself, I understand first-hand the challenges that come with running your own enterprise. I also appreciate that, while they are eager to grow and thrive through better financial management, many small to medium sized firms simply don’t have the funds to hire a full-time FD. The good news is, they don’t have to; instructing somebody like me on a fractional basis is just as effective.
From managing cash flow to planning for sustainable growth, I can help you tackle all your company’s vital financial elements head on, without drawing a full-time wage. My tailored part time finance director services provide practical solutions to your financial management needs. Working on an outsourced basis gives me the flexibility to focus on what’s important to your organisation right now, while keeping one eye on what you might need in the future to drive your firm’s evolution. Read on for more information on what you can expect from my FD solutions.
Strategic Support

It’s one thing to work on your financial matters behind the scenes – and it’s another to be able to communicate the current state of play effectively to your leadership team. I’ll deliver valuable advice at board level to drive strategic decisions and business success.
Strategic Financial Planning
Calling upon all my experience as an accountant and, in more recent years, as an outsourced FD, I will develop a clear financial strategy for your business that’s aligned with your short- and longer-term objectives.
