What we are not
We are a licensed accountancy practice (AAT), a Companies House authorised agent (ACSP AP007847) and HMRC-supervised for anti-money-laundering. We are not a law firm, not a registered auditor, not an immigration adviser and not a bank. For bespoke contracts, audit, visas and lending we work alongside regulated specialists and say so on each page. Regulatory information.
Beyond compliance
Need a finance director, not just the filings?
Everything on this site is the UK end of a bigger practice. City Solution — fractional FD runs a full fractional finance director service for founders who need more than clean books — board-ready reporting, budgets and cash forecasting, pricing and margin work, funding and lender packs, and someone senior in the room when the numbers get decided.
It is the same team that forms your company and files its accounts, so nothing has to be explained twice. If the UK operation grows past compliance and reporting, that is the next step.
What a fractional FD adds
- Board and investor reporting, not just statutory accounts
- Budgets, forecasts and cash runway you can act on
- Pricing, margin and unit-economics work
- Funding rounds, lender packs and due diligence support
- A senior finance voice at management meetings
- Scales up and down by the month — no permanent hire
