Fractional CFO
Senior financial leadership,
without the full-time cost.
Your Augur CFO works alongside you a few days a month, bringing the clarity, discipline and challenge of a board-level finance director. Unlike most fractional CFOs, we don't stop at advice. Our team and systems make it happen.
Where is your business right now?
Scaling up
You're growing fast, and the finance function hasn't kept up. You need forecasts you can trust, a clear view of margins, and numbers that stand up in front of investors and lenders.
Under pressure
Cash is tight, costs are rising, or a lender, supplier or HMRC is asking difficult questions. You need someone calm and experienced to take control of the numbers and the conversations.
What your CFO takes off your plate
Cash flow forecasting
A rolling 13-week and 12-month view, so you see problems before they arrive.
Management reporting
A monthly pack with KPIs that matter to your business, not a generic P&L.
Pricing and margin
True product and customer profitability, including accurate stock and manufacturing costs.
Funding and lenders
Business plans, investor models, bank facilities and covenant management.
Board and shareholder reporting
Clear, credible reporting that builds confidence.
Tax and structure
Planning around corporation tax, VAT, R&D claims and group structures.
Tough conversations
Negotiating with lenders, suppliers and HMRC, including Time to Pay arrangements.
The difference
Advice that doesn't gather dust
Most fractional CFOs hand you recommendations and leave you to find someone to carry them out. At Augur, the same team that advises you also runs your bookkeeping, compliance and Odoo systems. That means:
Numbers you can trust: your CFO works from live data in a system we built and maintain, not a spreadsheet that's weeks out of date.
Faster month-end: our back-office agents handle matching, reconciliation and exception flagging, so reports land days earlier.
Changes that stick: when your CFO recommends a new approval process, a costing method or a cash control, our team configures it in Odoo and runs it.
Led by commercial experience, not just accounting
Augur was founded by Mike Judd, who held senior commercial roles at Cable & Wireless, DHL, Kimberly-Clark, Imperial Brands and Anaplan before building Augur. We understand how finance drives commercial decisions, because we've made them.
