Testimonials

“The team are really grateful for the support Luke (in particular) has provided to our organisation through the period of change this year. Luke is always happy to help no matter how big or small the request and acts as a real support for the Management team here at Kinteract.”

Jamie Southerington, Managing Director, Kinteract

Outsourced financial function

Luke works with a variety of business types that benefit from an outsourced finance function, including international businesses, venture capital backed businesses and smaller enterprises, among others.

Alongside the basics, the businesses Luke works with require varying levels of financial assistance, ranging from light touch ad-hoc advisory support to full virtual finance director services.

He enjoys the challenges of working with these types of businesses and the related challenges of liaising with investors, intimately managing cashflow and growth challenges, such as evolving business systems and forecasting.

Luke finds that these services complement the delivery of the more traditional basic compliance services and allow him and his team to get closer to his clients, in turn allowing him to drive the success of their business.
