Finance dept.
Fractional.
Not full-time.
A dedicated financial controller running your books in-month, board packs, cash and KPIs, plus hands-on ops support and fractional CFO advisory to help you steer the business.
SPECIALIST. NOT GENERALIST
We know where the bodies are buried.
A generalist accountant learns your agency from scratch, on your clock. We don’t. We’ve seen and solved your exact problems, time and time again.

Revenue recognition
Media spend billed through your agency isn’t your revenue. We separate earned fees from client passthrough, so your P&L speaks true.
//
“Real” GP margins
You can get a benchmark report dashboard from an app in 30 seconds. What it can’t tell you is whether your 47% margin is hiding 2 or 3 clients quietly losing you money. Or what to do about it.
///
IR35, in or out?
Freelancers, contractors and consultants working for you need their status handled properly, before HMRC or a freelance dispute makes it your problem.
////
Your time vacuum
If the business only understands its numbers because you manage them, that’s a bottleneck with your name on it. We take that dependency off you.
FRACTIONAL FINANCE
Your team, without the payroll.
THEY say a virtual finance team will cost the earth. WE say it’s time they knew the truth.

Before you book the call
FAQs.
Probably not. Most of our GROWTH clients are exactly the size where they can’t yet justify an in-house hire but are well past needing one. That’s the gap GROWTH is built for. If we had to put a number on it – we’d suggest GROWTH is a great fit for businesses doing £350k+
A part-time hire gives you one person’s experience. GROWTH gives you a controller and a fractional FD, backed by a team – so you’re never dependent on one person’s availability or blind spots. And you don’t have the notice period or financial commitment of a ‘hire’.
Regular check-ins covering board packs, forecasting and the ops/strategy calls that need a second head in the room. Video works perfectly well for most of it, but we’ll meet in person too where it genuinely adds value, but it’s never a requirement.
Usually, yes. We’ll work with what you’ve already got wherever possible, and handle any migration as part of getting started if a change genuinely helps. We’ve partnered with Xero, FreeAgent, Dext, Briefcase and Apron.
Board packs, forecasting and the strategic calls that actually land. Plus hands-on operational guidance via regular meet-ups and check-ins with your dedicated fractional CFO. Not just numbers on a page, but someone in the room helping you act on them and drive the business forward.
Direct access to your financial controller and fractional CFO by phone, WhatsApp, Slack, video and email. No ticket system, no call centre. If something’s urgent, you’ll hear back from a person who already knows your numbers, not an autoresponder.
