From £4k to £170k in the Bank to Stable Cash Flow and Doubled Turnover
Rebuilt the finance function of a growing tech business after two years of broken records — restoring cash flow, customer confidence and reporting.
The situation
I was brought into a growing technology business that was facing serious cash flow and accounting issues. The records had not been properly maintained for more than two years following the loss of a key team member. Customer payments had been incorrectly allocated, duplicated invoices had been raised, and around £160k was showing as historic debt. Customer confidence had fallen, disputes were increasing, and the directors were personally funding wages with only around £4k left in the bank.
My role
My role was to rebuild the finance function, restore confidence in the accounts, and improve cash flow.
Key improvements
- Reconciled and rebuilt historic customer ledgers
- Corrected years of payment allocation errors
- Resolved longstanding customer disputes
- Introduced structured credit control
- Reduced invoicing from a 7-day manual process to around 2 hours
- Implemented budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting
- Developed an AI-assisted dashboard to improve visibility
The result
The business gained accurate financial records, stronger cash reserves, and reliable reporting. The directors were able to focus on growth rather than firefighting, and turnover increased from approximately £450k to just under £1m.
If your business is growing but your finances feel out of control, I can help create the structure and visibility needed to scale with confidence.
