I sell enterprise software to massive companies! It's genuinely fun - I help companies manage their data by using even more data. Its ok and pays me about 120k a year.

Anyway! The thing is - I simply cannot do my own finances anymore. And neither can my Accountant/childhood friend who does it for me. I pay her £400 a day atm

Now needing someone to take all finance off me so I can focus on my actual work (dealing with other people). I am also scaling

Should I go fractional or a whole outsourced team?
How do you find someone worth the money or a team that actually cares about you?

I just need month end recs, dashboards (with numbers I can actually trust) and lots of one-off forecasting. If they also do AR & AP that would be great but I can do it myself tbh.

Just doesn't make sense I am doing this tbh- any others who managed to navigate this?

Is this a business worth trusting if its uses bots?
For context the "bot" said use Wave Accounting

So I just need people to take it all off me. I no longer want to hire a friend about it anymore, is there any teams I can like hire in the UK to manage it for me. Like an external finance department for anytime i need them?

Recruiters say its 25k just to hire a team large enough- but I don't trust that.

Is there a company out there that has a whole team do it for me, based on an hourly rate? That is pretty large and means I never need to think about my finances again (except from the dashboards)!

And I mean actual B2B firms (sorry marketing bots who DM us everytime we say something on here.

May the tide be forever in our favour you guys!!

My gyno was smaller than a pea then since jan 26 it is now noticeable.
How much should I let this go before I eventually take nolva?

Is there nothing I can do?

I thought I was too old for this lol.

Bloods, scans,3 docs no idea where its coming from

Got lucky and some company tossed me a bone honestly been struggling for ages with this.
Took well over 60 hours of work just to get one sale. Its a Ai-native B2B/ consultancy startup.

How are you guys getting enterprise sales? My company can only focus on companies with a minumum of 15M revenue, so cannot start small tbh.

I used YC AI-Native playbook, spammed claude and cold called (god I hate it).
Honestly no regrets at all, but know wondering how you guys do it.

TLDR: How to target large clients without cold calling, emailing, linked spamming and in-person networking.

Any sales guys?

Ex-Big4 senior associate (25m) - landed 4 Financial Controller interviews through networking. But I'm early career, average at my job, and honestly scared I'm not ready.

Current path: RevOps → Accountant → Big4 audit → FP&A → trying for FC.

Why do they need me to know so much? 😞

Questions for the UK FC/anyone in the know:

1. Biggest issues/challenges you deal with as a FC?
2. What's your actual day-to-day like?
3. Was it worth the headaches?

Currently on £80k. Interviewing at £85k, £90k, and one TBC.

Chartered. 50hr weeks. Bad uni. Got lucky networking + keeping head down.

Am I delusional for trying? Again- I am average, chartered, inexpxerienced and very fortunate in this job market.

Always beating numbers

Immaculate BS

50% GPM

Mission critical area.

at I missing something?

Negatives:

F-16 phased out

M&A business model

Is this a bad stock? It’s a strong buy on all metrics for me

50% margins & and a beautiful BS.

P+L is also fine.

No one is talking about it?

Is it because of the a M&A business strategy or the F-16 delays?

Anyone like it?

Going to ask HR how to open my own LLC.
I know it is company policy to say - BUT would they dismiss me because of it?
Its sort of an excel plug in/better copilot to read and improve excel sheets.

Should I keep it vague? How vague is too vague?

Sorry not sure who to ask.

Been here 2 months- senior audit

Edit -they got some bigwigs involved but was cleared in a day.
As long as its outside of business hours

Hi everyone!
Finally after a lifetime (30 hours over 2 weeks) I have got one customer (through linkedin).
Now I need to get my emails ready.

Been reading into it and my 3 marketing friends said I HAVE to get a warm up tool.
Is this really necessary?

Any help would be great
