Part Time Finance & Commercial Director Case Study
I worked closely with a growing on line retailer over 2 years to put in place an appropriate Finance & Comemrcial capability whilst supporting the owner in growing turnover, improving margin and cashflow and ensuring costs rose at the right rate.
In addition, we developed the business's first 5 year plan/budget and implemented a revised trading strategy focusing on margin improvement in order to more effectively manage cash. This was particularly important given teh context of challenges created by the Covid pandemic.
The revised approach led to working capital being better prioritised onto the most profitable activiities reducing the impacts on cash of a sharp growth in turnover and stock holding.
My final assignment was to recruit permanent finance and commercial team and leave the business with a set of processes and ways of working that can enable it to continue to grwo in a controlled manner
