Finance Director

More than accounting – financial management that drives your business forward. Queen Accountancy is your one stop shop for all the financial insight you need to grow your profits and stay in control

Did you know that over half a million small businesses closed in 2022? 

Many failed because of poor financial management which meant they couldn’t withstand the impact of COVID and other factors affecting the economy.

One of the problems is your average accountant is too focused on the past. They delve into what happened in the previous tax year to help you remain compliant with HMRC.

But this backward-looking focus can leave you floundering when it comes to what’s happening right now, what might happen next, and how you can change your decision making to secure your business’ future.

That’s where a part-time finance director comes in. Most SMEs don’t need a full-time FD, nor can they afford one, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get the financial management support you need.

Imagine knowing exactly when you might need to get some additional funding to help you over a blip in your cashflow. Or understanding exactly which of your products or services are driving your profit margins. Or where to look for investment opportunities that have the best chance of success.

It’s all very doable when you work with me.

I’m Helen, the Accountancy Queen, but I don’t call myself an accountant because I’m so much more than that. 

My services, aside from the usual tax compliance, payroll, annual accounts, and bookkeeping, include:

•	Budgeting and forecasting
•	Management reporting/Financial Reporting
•       Financial Analysis
•	Funding/grants submissions
•	Business growth advice
•	Invoice/trade finance options
•	Software training/support (Freeagent, Xero, Sage, Sage 200)

As my ideal client, you’ll:

•	Be a proactive, forward thinking business owner 
•	Willing to listen to advice and act on it
•	Have a workforce of up to 50 staff 
•	Run an importing/exporting operation

By working with me, you’ll get:
✅ Deep insight into what’s working in your business and what’s not
✅ A methodical approach to growing your business
✅ A business partner who is focused on your company’s success

If you know your business needs to take a more proactive, dynamic approach to its finances, give me a call and let’s find out whether we’re a good fit for each other.

I sourced and tailor business finance solutions for the SME market. I supported businesses in the South West and the wider UK. This was in the form of invoice finance, business loans, and merchant cash advance. I have experience both as a lender and as a commercial finance broker. Cash flow is pivotal to success across all businesses and having the financial backing is imperative. 

If you would like to explore the range of cash-flow finance solutions:

Finance Broker

I worked as part of a larger corporate team in the Bristol branch coherently to achieve sales revenue targets and maintain corporate client accounts. With clients, I was the primary point of contact to manage and exceed expectations levels on a daily basis.
- I regularly arranged monthly face to face meetings to make sure they were experiencing the levels of service they expected and where possible sell further products.
- I negotiated with distributors and software manufacturers to maximize the highest profit margin when re-selling their equipment.
-I was targeted against gross profit margin revenue per month within the Bristol branch and had to procure IT software and hardware
