No pitch. Just an honest conversation about whether this is the right fit.

Between doing it yourself and hiring a full-time senior.

Most growing businesses hit the same wall. The finance and admin side of the business has outgrown what the owner or the office manager can properly handle, but the business is not yet large enough to justify a full-time CFO, general manager or head of operations at $150,000-plus per year.

The result is often a business that runs on late-night catch-up work, delayed decisions, and the growing sense that something important is being missed. Ministry of Finance is the answer to that gap.

Senior finance capability inside your business, at a fraction of the cost of hiring for it full-time.

Retained monthly support, shaped around your business.

Every engagement is scoped to the business it supports, but the core work typically includes:

  • Ongoing finance and administration support: reporting, cash flow management, banking, supplier and customer relationships
  • Business consulting and decision support on the operational issues you are facing in real time
  • Building and maintaining the financial models and reporting that drive better decisions
  • Working directly with your accountant, bank and other professional advisors so nothing falls between the cracks
  • A regular monthly rhythm of touchpoints, with availability between meetings for live issues
  • A single point of contact model so the relationship stays clean and accountable

Growing businesses that need experienced hands.

Ministry of Finance works best for:

  • Owner-operated businesses in the $500,000 to $3 million revenue range
  • Businesses where the owner is spending too much time on finance and admin instead of leading the business
  • Businesses that need senior finance and business discipline but are not ready for a full-time senior hire
  • Owners who want a trusted expert alongside them for real, not just when things break

Everything you need to know.

How this sits alongside our training. Ministry of Finance is not registered training. It is an ongoing advisory retainer where I do the finance, administration and business consulting work directly for your business. If you would prefer to learn how to build the strategic and operational planning capability yourself, our registered training programme is the place to start.

Start with a conversation.

The first call is free. Thirty minutes to understand your business, what is stretching you thin right now, and whether this is the right kind of support. If it is, we will tell you. If something else suits you better, we will tell you that too.
