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’m Nicola Fallon, the passionate owner of two businesses - Virtual Accounts & Taxes (VA&T) and The Payroll Team. 

With over 30 years of experience in corporate finance roles for corporates like NatWest Bank, BOC, ITV, and Jardine Lloyd Thompson (JLT), I decided to embark on an entrepreneurial journey to share my knowledge with a wider audience. 

In addition to my businesses, I am honoured to serve as an ambassador for the 6 Figure Bookkeepers Club. Through this prestigious group, I am able to connect with fellow bookkeepers and accountants and contribute to a community dedicated to professional growth, excellence, and sharing best practices. 

Outside of work, I have a love for music and football, which I share with my husband, our three grown-up children, and my parents. Being a born and bred Salford girl, my roots in the vibrant Manchester music scene run deep, and my musical taste reflects the spirit of the iconic “Madchester” era!
