Part Time Finance Director or Management Accountant

Do you feel your business needs that extra support which is currently preventing you from fully focusing on the core business?

 

Then maybe a part time Finance Director or Finance Manager is for you. Most small businesses do not have the cost structure to employ full time or even part time qualified finance staff. However directors know full well they can benefit from having access and resource to qualified finance staff with experience in a number of business sectors.
