Flexible Finance Solutions
Fractional CFO Leadership to Help You Scale, Acquire, and Exit Stronger
What We Do
Flexible Finance Solutions provides small and medium-sized businesses with access to high-calibre CFO expertise without the full time cost — combining strategic financial leadership, hands-on operational support and thoughtful guidance on modern technology.
We work with founders, CEOs or CFOs who care about building meaningful organisations: places where people collaborate, diverse perspectives are respected and valued, and strong foundations support sustainable, purpose-driven growth.
Our approach brings clarity, structure and strategic direction to businesses ready for their next step — whether that’s scaling, acquiring, modernising or preparing for investment.
Who We Support
We specialise in partnering with founders whose businesses have typically reached £1m+ in annual revenue — a stage where growth brings increasing complexity, greater visibility requirements and the need for stronger financial foundations.
We support founders, CEOs and CFOs who value integrity, partnership and long-term impact — and who want finance to be a trusted partner, not just a reporting function.
In practice, this means providing senior finance leadership capacity during periods of growth, change and complexity — working alongside existing teams to turn strategy into clarity, structure and confident decision-making.

We support founders who value integrity, partnership and long-term impact — and who want finance to be a trusted partner, not just a reporting function.
Our Philosophy
Finance is more than numbers — it’s how people work together to build something better.
We believe finance should bring people together to achieve a common goal, not create silos. When an organisation embraces a strong partnership with finance, it gains greater insight, shared direction and the ability to make decisions that drive performance.
We work with care, integrity and a genuine desire to help leaders build purposeful organisations — places where partnership, diversity and thoughtful structure help people thrive.
Founder’s Note
From Rachel
I started Flexible Finance Solutions because I believe finance has the power to create alignment and momentum, not just reports. When teams have the right information and work together with shared intent, extraordinary things happen.
My goal is to support founders during their most important moments — scaling, preparing for investment, navigating acquisitions or strengthening their foundations — with care, insight and thoughtful leadership.
