Get in touch →More than an accountant
Your accountant reports on the year that has already happened. An FD works on the year ahead: the forecast, the budget and what you take to the board. We do both, or work alongside the accountant you already have.
What you get
Your finance function, run by someone who has been the FD
Monthly management accounts and board pack
A clear pack every month: margin, variance to budget, the numbers that moved and why they moved.
Rolling cashflow forecast
Maintained continuously, so you see the pinch points far enough ahead to do something about them.
Budgeting and scenario modelling
An annual budget you can hold people to, and models that answer the specific question in front of you before you commit capital to it.
Board attendance
Present at the meeting to take the finance questions directly, from the board, investors, or lenders.
Fundraising and transaction support
Preparing the numbers for diligence, building the model behind the raise, and standing behind both when they are challenged.
Experience
The experience behind the work
Deal experience from the Big 4 and hands-on operating experience running finance functions in industry.
Big 4 Deals background
Our roots are in Big 4 Deals: mid-market M&A, modelling and diligence on live transactions.
Operating experience
We have run finance functions in industry, including as Finance Director of a $100m+ group: building the team, owning the forecast and reporting to the board.
ACCA qualified, fifteen years
Reporting that stands up when investors, lenders or buyers examine it.
Why us
Working with us
One accountant, start to finish
The same ACCA-qualified accountant every time. Not a call centre, not five different people.
WhatsApp and email, answered by that accountant
Quick questions get plain-English answers, usually the same day.
One fixed monthly fee
Agreed up front, software included, no surprise invoices.
Proactive, not reactive
Deadlines chased before they are due; tax savings flagged in-year while you can still act on them.
Pricing
How engagements are shaped
Two ways in. Both scoped before they start, so you know the cost before you commit.
Monthly retainer
Priced on scope
A fixed monthly commitment covering the management accounts, board pack and rolling forecast, with your dedicated contact reachable between meetings.
- From one day a month
- Fixed fee, agreed up front
- Board attendance included
Day rate
From £500 per day
For defined pieces of work: a raise, a diligence process, a budget cycle, or a model that needs building properly once. Scoped before it starts.
- Project scoped up front
- No ongoing commitment
- Converts to retainer if it suits

Questions
Questions we are usually asked first
How much time does a fractional FD actually need?
Most engagements at this size start at one day a month and settle between one and three, depending on reporting cycle, board cadence and whether a transaction is running. We would rather start narrow and expand than sell you time you do not need.
Do you work with our existing finance team?
Usually, yes. Most businesses at this stage have a bookkeeper or a finance manager who handles the day to day well and needs senior cover above them. We add the layer rather than replace the people.
Can you support a fundraise or a sale?
Yes. Preparing numbers for diligence, building the model, and handling the questions that follow is the work, drawn directly from mid-market M&A experience in Big 4 Deals.
How quickly can you start?
Two to four weeks from agreeing the scope. If there is a live deadline such as a board meeting or a funding round, tell us and we will say honestly whether we can meet it.

Reviews
What clients say
“We were looking for accountants near Gerrards Cross for our limited company and found Growth Ledger. They handle our year-end accounts, Corporation Tax and VAT for a fixed monthly fee, so we always know what we're paying. Priyan flags tax savings during the year rather than telling us afterwards, which no previous accountant ever did. Straightforward, responsive and worth every penny.”

“We are a small business, and moved to Growth Ledger after outgrowing our previous accountants. Priyan and his team at Growth Ledger reviewed our tax position properly and found planning opportunities that had been sitting there unused, which saved us a meaningful amount of tax. He and the team is proactive rather than reactive, explains things without the jargon, and is genuinely easy to deal with. Recommended if you want an accountant who thinks ahead instead of just filing.”

“Priyan at Growth Ledger has been a game changer. He reviewed our tax position, spotted planning opportunities our previous accountant had missed, and saved us a significant amount of tax. Proactive, clear and easy to work with. Highly recommend, especially for e-commerce businesses and entrepreneurs.”

“Growth Ledger does my monthly bookkeeping and is helping us wind down my company - Priyan worked out the most tax-efficient way to take money out before we did anything. The handover from our previous accountant was much smoother than expected.”
