The Interim FD

You know as a business owner that it can be lonely at the top, this is especially true as your business grows. Imagine what it would be like to have a companion who’s on your side who you can trust and confide in. Someone to help you with your business growth. A financial expert who knows about business finances, financial accounts, corporate tax and more. A financial person who can help your business raise finance, as and when required. But also a person who really understands business because they’ve been there where you are, running their own SME business too. Click here to read more on why it can be lonely at the top…

Imagine having someone with you on your business journey, every step of the way… Someone who knows a thing or two about business. A person who knows lot about finance, plus has a good knowledge of corporation tax too.

You’re in safe hands because I’m experienced in business. But also a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser.

My name is Russell Bowyer, I’ve had my successes, as well as my failures, which all add to the experience I bring to the table.

I owned and grew a manufacturing and retail business, which I sought-out, carried out the due diligence, raised the finance and bought. This small business I grew from sales of £1.6 million to a turnover of around £2.6 million.

Within the first few weeks of buying this business I was sacking someone for gross misconduct for fighting in the factory.

Prior to owning the manufacturing business, I also helped grow a failing elderly home care business. At the time I invested, the business had circa £300k turnover, which grew to £1.1 million sales. I invested as a third shareholder in this business and became the managing director/finance director of the company.

Day one of investing in this business, the first thing I had to deal with was a staff walk-out!

Prior to running these SME businesses I owned and operated my own Chartered Accounting practice for over ten years. In this time as an adviser to many SME businesses, I helped business owners with their accounts, corporation tax, helped them raise finance and helped them to grow their businesses. I was also their confidant and many times their shoulder to cry on.

I know how lonely it can be at the top. I also know that not all business owners have the time to spend looking at the finances of their business. There are also only a few entrepreneurs who are able to understand their numbers as much as they should. This is why outsourcing the function of finance director to a part-time FD or an interim FD comes in.
