Financial Director Services
Board-level financial leadership for ambitious businesses — without the full-time salary.
UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE
You can hire an outsourced CFO to get a senior finance expert without having to pay them a full-time salary. It’s not about taking shortcuts; it’s about getting serious about your financial strategy in a way that’s more flexible and cost-effective. When a business needs high-level help but isn’t ready to hire a full-time finance director, they can use outsourced CFO services.
You can get board-level advice on cash flow, forecasting, and investor relations without having to pay for a full-time CFO. You’re still getting good leadership from someone who has done this before, knows the numbers inside and out, and can work with your team to get things done.
Valentis offers outsourced CFO services tailored to the needs of fast-growing companies. These are typically companies undergoing significant changes, such as rapid growth, funding rounds, or entering new markets. The next move can be significantly impacted by financial clarity. Our virtual CFOs work directly with your business to handle planning, economic modelling, investor talks, and more — no technical terms. People who know what they’re doing will give you clear and strategic financial advice.
We’re not just giving you a service. We help founders, finance teams, and directors stay calm and confident when things get tough.
“CFO-level thinking without CFO-level cost.”
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
With fractional CFO and virtual CFO services, you can get help from experienced financial leaders without having to hire someone full-time. But there is a slight difference in how the help is given.
A fractional CFO usually works with you on a set schedule, either in person or online, as a full-time member of your team. They help you prepare for board meetings, track your finances, and plan meetings around key dates on your calendar.
A virtual CFO, on the other hand, gives the same level of strategic advice but works from home. They utilise cloud-based tools to monitor your finances in real-time, providing you with proactive reporting, planning, and insight without requiring an in-person presence.
OPTION A
Best for: Established businesses needing on-site presence
OPTION B
Best for: Startups and cloud-native businesses
We offer both models at Valentis. A fractional CFO might be the right person for your business if you need someone to sit in on board meetings or help with face-to-face conversations with investors. Our virtual CFO setup provides you with all of that: sleek digital dashboards, real-time access, and the flexibility to work at your convenience.
This is why our service is beneficial for both parties: established companies can use our fractional CFO services in the UK, and startups can use our virtual CFO services to receive support without the need to hire additional staff.
OUR APPROACH
You’re not just hiring a finance service when you hire Valentis. You are getting a senior Chartered Accountant who knows your field, your goals, and what your board expects from you. This person will be your CFO and will work closely with your founders, shareholders, and internal finance team to make sure that every decision is clear and has a purpose.
This is what our outsourced CFO service usually includes:
USE CASES
A fractional CFO service is ideal for businesses undergoing changes that impact their cash flow, structure, or size. This means:
Preparing the business for a funding round or investor pitch
Expanding into new markets or accelerating growth
Going from basic bookkeeping to a financial plan that looks ahead
Putting financial systems back together after a time of quick growth
We have helped SaaS startups establish recurring revenue models and e-commerce brands optimise their inventory forecasting. We have helped franchisors grow in many ways without raising costs. No matter what field we’re in, we always have a clear, organised, and long-term plan for our money.
FOR EARLY-STAGE BUSINESSES
BUILT FOR GROWTH AND SPEED
Startups operate under considerable stress. While building the product, you have to manage compliance, secure investment, and control the burn rate. That’s where our virtual CFO services for new businesses come in. We help early-stage companies secure SEIS or EIS funding, plan their first significant growth, or prepare for expansion.
ON-DEMAND SUPPORT
EXECUTIVE GUIDANCE ON DEMAND
Some companies don’t need a full-time finance leader; they need someone with the right skills at the right time. That could mean preparing for a round of funding, entering a new market, or updating outdated financial systems.
With our part-time CFO services, you can get help with your finances from a senior person without having to commit to a long-term contract.
We provide clear directions when the stakes are high and time is short, whether you need help with your ERP or with cash flow issues. You stay in charge, and we take care of the numbers.
THE VALENTIS DIFFERENCE
We often hear the same thing — that larger CFO firms feel distant. There are simply too many faces involved. Too many handovers. Too little context.
Valentis was built to be different. We deliver Premium Virtual CFO services with a personal touch. You get one dedicated CFO who works with you month after month. No helpdesk. No templated outputs. Just strategic support tailored to your business and your goals.
That’s why so many clients switch to us. We don’t rotate through consultants — we build long-term partnerships.

It’s probably time to seek help from an experienced CFO if your finances are struggling to keep pace with your growth or if your investors are asking questions that your team can’t fully address.
With Valentis, you can get board-level insight without having to hire someone full-time. We’ll help you figure out what kind of CFO you need, whether it’s a virtual CFO, a fractional CFO, or something in between.
