Do you run an SME or charity and wish you had a senior financial expert in your corner?
Do you run an SME or charity and wish you had a senior financial expert in your corner?
That's the Problem I Solve
Many SME owners and charity leaders are excellent at what they do, but feel out of their depth when it comes to the finances. They have an accountant for the compliance side, but nobody thinking strategically alongside them.
Nobody to call when a big decision needs to be made.
Nobody translating the numbers into something they can actually act on.
That’s exactly the gap I fill.
“You may already have an accountant, and that’s great. Your accountant focuses on the past, compliance, and managing your tax. What they typically don’t do is sit with you as a strategic partner, helping you interpret your numbers, plan ahead and make confident decisions in real time. That’s where I come in. I work alongside your existing accountant, bringing the forward-looking financial thinking that helps you run and grow your business with clarity.”
Let's have a conversation
Who I Work With
SME business owners who need senior financial input but aren’t ready for a full-time Finance Director, and want someone they can genuinely trust.
Charity and non-profit leaders who need stronger financial visibility, confident trustee reporting and support navigating the pressures of purpose-led work.
Founders and directors going through growth, change or uncertainty who need a calm, experienced financial voice alongside them.
Finance professionals who want one-to-one mentoring and development support.
Sole Traders who need help preparing for MTD for income tax
How I Help:
Fractional Finance Director
Senior financial leadership on a flexible, part-time basis. I work as part of your team, bringing strategic thinking, clear reporting and experienced financial guidance, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Financial Mentoring & Advisory
One-to-one support to help you understand your numbers, build confidence and make better financial decisions, at your pace, focused on what matters to you.
Xero Setup & MTD for Income Tax
Are you ready?
From April 2026, self-employed individuals and landlords will be required to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. If you’re not sure whether this affects you, or you know it does and aren’t sure where to start, I can help. I set up and configure Xero accounting software tailored to your business, so you’re compliant, organised and confident well ahead of the deadline.
What I’ve Done
I’ve worked with organisations across hospitality, manufacturing, entertainment, retail, consultancy and the charity sector. Here’s a flavour of what that looks like in practice:
Provided fractional FD / CFO support to a national charity, covering budgeting, management accounts, financial analysis and board reporting
Helped a restaurant business through expansion planning, building the cash flow forecasts and financial models needed to make a confident decision
Supported a new business owner through the process of setting up as a limited company and Xero cloud software, establishing sound financial foundations from day one
Delivered financial governance and process improvements for organisations navigating change and growth
What clients say
"Belinda joined our team initially as a consultant, and later was employed as our FD, them CFO. As a small company it can be challenging to achieve the right balance of knowledge, skills and flexibility, but thankfully Belinda had all we needed. Over the last couple of years, she helped us get to grips with the basics, ensuring we were compliant and meeting deadlines, financial and management accounting.
working closely with myself and the team to be agile and met the needs of the business, and ultimately our climate. A lovely woman, who commits to going the extra mile, stepping out her comfort zone and being a loyal and trusted leader, she will be very missed by us all."
