01
Management accounts
Regular profit and loss, balance sheet and cash reporting with concise commentary on significant movements.
Virtual CFO Services
Financial clarity for the decisions that shape your business.
Get the management information, forecasting and commercial finance support of an experienced finance function without employing a full-time CFO.
More than accounting
Historical numbers tell you where you have been. A Virtual CFO helps you decide what to do next.
As a business grows, management needs more than bookkeeping and annual accounts. You need timely numbers, a view of future cash, clear performance measures and financial analysis around important decisions.

Regular management accounts and KPIs help you identify trends before year end.

Cash-flow forecasting
Rolling forecasts to show expected cash requirements, upcoming pressure points and available capacity.
03
Budgets & forecasts
Practical financial plans that translate sales, staffing and overhead assumptions into a view of future performance.
04

A focused set of financial and operational measures so management can monitor the drivers of performance.
05

Financial analysis of choices such as hiring, pricing, new contracts, expansion, investment or changes in cost structure.
06
Board & owner reporting
Clear financial packs and explanations suitable for founders, directors, investors or management teams.
A flexible alternative
Finance leadership without a full-time appointment.
A growing business may need CFO-level information and support well before it needs a CFO on the payroll. Virtual CFO support can scale from periodic reporting and forecasting to a more involved ongoing finance partnership.
Who it is for
Particularly useful when the business is becoming harder to manage from the bank balance alone.
Growing owner-managed businesses
Where turnover, staff, customers or costs have become more complex.
UK companies without an in-house finance director
Businesses that need clear management reporting, forecasting and senior finance support without a full-time CFO.
Businesses preparing for change
Expansion, investment, major recruitment, new contracts or other decisions with significant financial consequences.
How it works
A practical monthly finance rhythm.
The service is designed around regular, useful information rather than producing reports that are never used.
Agree priorities
We identify the decisions, risks and performance measures management needs visibility over.
Build the reporting
We establish the management accounts, KPIs, forecast structure and reporting timetable.
Review regularly
Results are compared with plan, material movements are explained and the outlook is updated.
Support decisions
When a significant commercial decision arises, we help model the financial effect and clarify the trade-offs.
Virtual CFO support is a management finance service. Where a matter requires specialist legal, regulated investment or jurisdiction-specific tax advice, LCCS can provide the relevant accounting information and coordinate with the appropriate specialist adviser.
