As your business grows, your financial challenges evolve. You need more than just compliance with your accountants looking at last year’s accounts. You need a proper strategy. Our Outsourced Finance Director (FD) service gives you the firepower of a seasoned FD without the full-time overhead.
Our outsourced Financial Directors (FD) help ambitious businesses grow, all whilst monitoring cash flow, managing risks and attaining tangible growth. We have the precise expertise you need.
Make smart decisions based on data and analysis, not just on gut feel and guesswork. We plan ahead and will appraise your financial position, growth plans, and potential risks. We will give you clear recommendations to drive confident, informed decisions that support sustainable growth.
Whether you're planning an exit, eyeing an acquisition, or approaching a major business milestone, we’ll ensure your financials are robust, your strategy is aligned, and your business is positioned to maximise value.
A dedicated CFO/FD goes a long way in helping to secure your business growth and expansion. From handling operational aspects of the finance department, to providing strategic planning and forecasting, our wrap-around services include the following elements:
Our management reports are written in relatable human language, clearly presenting concise information and suggestions to the board, along with actionable strategies. A previously monthly ordeal becomes an essential monthly check-in.
Once we jointly establish the KPIs, business performance and health are then monitored on an ongoing basis. You do not need to keep track of the raw data, we do it for you and use it to deliver insights & actionable next steps.
We will develop annual budgets along with cash flow forecasts to help you set targets for your growth. These tools give you a clear roadmap for the year ahead so you can plan with purpose, stay in control of your cash, and make confident decisions as new opportunities come your way.
Access the kind of strategic financial advice that helps you raise capital, deploy funds wisely, and scale with confidence. Whether you're planning to grow, invest, or simply stop to winging it with the numbers, you'll have the clarity to make decisions that move your business forward.
Exit planning isn’t something to leave until the last minute. The more lead time you have, the more opportunities you have to tidy up the numbers, optimise the structure, and present the business in its best light. A well-prepared business attracts better buyers, achieves a higher sale value, and results in a smoother, less stressful process. Whether you're looking to sell in one year or five, starting now puts you firmly in control of the outcome.
The role of the Financial Director/CFO is not just developing business strategy. It’s also about the people implementing it. We support and develop your in-house team, help build out capabilities and ensure everyone is aligned with your growth plans. From refining processes to overseeing due diligence, your finance team gets the leadership they need to step up and deliver.

FD stands for Financial Directors and CFO stands for Chief Financial Officers. Both often work toward the same goal—that is making sure the business is financially strong. The difference usually comes down to focus. An FD tends to be hands-on with day-to-day numbers: cash flow, reporting, budgeting. A CFO looks further ahead -raising capital, managing investors, and steering the company’s future financial strategy. At Julian Hobbs & Co., we blend both skillsets so you get practical financial control every time.
You’ll hear from us regularly, and not generally when a report is due. Most of our clients have weekly meetings with us. We’re always on hand if something urgent pops up—because good financial advice shouldn’t have to wait for a scheduled call.
Absolutely. Preparing for investment is our key strengths. We work with you closely, so as to sharpen KPIs, and build a strong financial story that investors, banks, or buyers can trust. Our outsourced CFO business advisory services are designed to make sure you’re ready for the questions, the due diligence, and the deal-making.
Accountants usually focus on recording the past—making sure tax returns are filed and reports are compliant. An outsourced Financial Director looks ahead. They plan for growth, manages cash flow, and build a financial plan that moves with your business -forward.
We work with SMEs, medium and giant corporates across sectors —tech, eCommerce, manufacturing, healthcare, professional services, and others. If you need help expanding into new markets, or stabilising operations, or even getting ready for an exit, we can help you with customised proposal and strategies.
At Julian Hobbs & Co, we help ambitious businesses across Hertfordshire and beyond get the financial clarity they need to grow.
