About fin-house

At fin-house, we're leading the charge on all things fractional finance. Providing ambitious start-ups and scale-ups with fractional finance teams that feel like their own. Embedded. Human. Impact driven.

The right people, in the right seats.

Every role, perfectly placed to keep your finance function running smoothly. Taking care of everything on the finance side from everyday transactions to board-level strategy, we bring the expertise you need and at the right time,

The Problem:

• Existing outsourcing models are removed and lack value-add: Traditional outsourcing to accountancy firms often results in disconnected finance teams that focus solely on producing numbers without understanding the context of the business. They run as a basic function. 
• Uncertainty around timing for CFO hiring: Founders and CEOs may struggle to determine when to bring in a high-level CFO to drive growth and navigate significant events. Often leads to the wrong person and wasted time and money!

Our Solution:

• Flexible and embedded: fin-house offers a unique approach by providing a fully flexible and embedded formation tailored to the needs of each business. This means the finance team works closely alongside our CFOs, delivering customised support ranging from day-to-day tasks to strategic planning.
• Cost-effective and aligned to growth plans: By offering a flexible finance team model, fin-house ensures that companies receive the support they need in the most cost-effective manner. This approach is aligned with the growth plans of each business, ensuring that resources are deployed efficiently to facilitate growth and strategic objectives.

Our UVP:

• Tailored support: fin-house's approach allows CFOs to focus on the delivery and scope of work they excel at, ensuring that businesses receive the expertise they need without unnecessary overhead.
• Strategic alignment: The embedded nature of fin-house's service ensures that finance teams are closely aligned with the growth plans and objectives of each business, facilitating strategic decision-making and enabling scalability.
