In today’s fast-paced business world, strategic financial leadership is essential—yet not every company can afford a full-time Finance Director (FD). That’s where a Virtual Finance Director (VFD) comes in. At Thomson Cooper, our VFD advisory service brings you board-level insight, delivered remotely and flexibly, helping your business thrive and build a better future without the full-time cost.
What Is a Virtual Finance Director?
A Virtual Finance Director is an experienced senior finance professional who delivers the same strategic and financial leadership as a traditional FD but works remotely, typically on a part-time or advisory basis. They tailor their involvement to your needs, overseeing budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, reporting, risk management, and more – all executed with digital efficiency.
Instead of being tied to one company full-time, a Virtual Finance Director works with several businesses. This means you benefit from wider market experience, innovative solutions, and a fresh outlook that may be missing from an internal team. For growing businesses, especially SMEs, this access to knowledge and skill can make all the difference between simply surviving and truly thriving.
Why It Matters: Thomson Cooper’s Approach
Our approach is built around digitisation and real-time reporting, helping clients understand their financial position at a glance. Instead of waiting weeks for end-of-month reports, you get insights when you need them, allowing for faster and smarter decision-making and financial planning.
Our service is led by Partner Carrie Campbell, who brings strategic insight and practical guidance to ambitious businesses. With years of experience advising SMEs, she understands the pressures leaders face and how proactive financial leadership can reduce risks and open doors to growth opportunities.
