Our Services


Part-time CFO or FD

Businesses of any size can benefit enormously from having a senior finance lead reviewing and interpreting the financial results of the company and advising the management team on the strategic and operational implications of these results. At Consolido we appreciate that the amount of this level of work that is needed varies with the size of business so we provide part-time, highly experienced CFOs who will take on the tasks that a CFO would do for your business without the costs that a full-time hire into this role would entail.  For the price of a mid-range finance team member, your business can enjoy a Board level finance lead to help guide the growth of your business.

Directorships - Executive or NED

In addition to providing Board level CFOs to act in an executive capacity, being involved in the day-to-day running of the finance function, Consolido also provides Non-Executive Director (NED) services for your business should you prefer a more independent oversight role.  Whether you require a financial or wider corporate strategy perspective, our independent NEDs can review business issues with a fresh pair of eyes and provide an impartial view on Board matters.

Business Reviews - Free Business Health Check

All businesses can benefit from a fresh pair of eyes reviewing the day to day operations, helping to identify areas with potential for improvement and then working with business owners and their management teams to implement any necessary changes.

At Consolido we offer a FREE initial consultation and review of your business with no obligation or further commitment.  Business owners can action the findings within their existing team, or engage our independent experts to help with these action points and guide your business growth.

Business Reviews - Risk Assessment Review

As a step further to the business health check, Consolido has partnered with ibd Group to offer you a tailored, cloud-based, risk assessment tool.  Detailed and broad-reaching yet simple to use (each question requires just a "Yes/No/Don't know" answer), this tool can provide an ongoing, real time analysis of the key risk areas for your business.  The graphical reports produced clearly identify areas needing attention allowing you to either address these internally or work with your Consolido advisor to develop and implement solutions.  Unlike some consultant firms who just provide a long and obscure risk report, Conslido will work with you to review the findings and help your business to develop and implement solutions to any issues that have been identified until the desired outcome is achieved.  Contact us now for a FREE, no obligation demonstration of the software to see how it can help your business. 

Business Reviews - Finance and Finance Function Reviews

Consolido has significant expertise in the area of the finance function and can review both the operational effectiveness of your existing finance team as well as providing an overall financial health check for your business.  This can identify potential areas of concern or weakness as well as areas of opportunity and strength in the finances of the business, enabling the senior team to focus their energies on the most profitable products and service lines to increase margin for the business as a whole.  We can identify potential risks surrounding your working capital position and can advise on, and implement, the changes that are needed to improve it, providing more cash for investment in growing the business or simply to pay out to the shareholders.

Business Reviews - Specific Area Reviews

Consolido also has staff experienced in assessing and evaluating many different specific areas of your business from policies, procedures and controls to operational effectiveness.  We will speak with the key people involved in each area and produce a report and recommendations on areas of change that could benefit your business.  We will then be happy to continue working with you to implement these changes effectively and efficiently allowing the business to benefit as quickly as possible from the improvements.

Get Additional Cash for your Business

Research and Development (R & D) Tax Credits
Many businesses, sometimes without even realising it, engage in product or process development activities that will qualify them to receive Research and Development tax credits from the government.  In certain circumstances, claims can be backdated up to 2 financial years from the date of the first claim and can be a source of significant additional cash to a company, both in the first year of a claim and on an ongoing basis.  Has your firm looked into developing a new product - even if it was not ultimately successful and taken to market?  Have you customised your software?  Have you developed an App?  (This may have been done in house or by engaging outside help.)  Then you may be eligible to receive R&D tax credits.  Consolido has partnered with specialists in the area who have helped more than 1100 business reclaim over £112m in tax credits since September 2012. By carefully assessing your situation and guiding you in the claims process, our partners have a 100% success rate for claims they have made!  Contact Consolido today to see if your business may qualify. 

Start-up loans
If your company is less than 2 years old you may qualify for an unsecured personal loan to provide a cash injection for your business.  The cash can be used for any business-related purpose.  These government-funded loans, given to the founders of a business, can be up to £25,000 per person and can provide invaluable cash to start or grow your early-stage business.  Loans are repayble over 1-5 years at a fixed 6% interest rate, far below that which might be offered by a bank to a new business.  Consolido can assist with the application including things like cash flow forecasts and business plans. Contact Consolido today to see if you may be eligible and to start your application.

Change Management and Project Management

In business, and particularly in smaller businesses, change is the new normal.  There is rarely a time when a business is not undergoing some type of significant evolution, and those that do not evolve, generally do not survive!  Managing this evolution can be both stressful and time-consuming for those involved, distracting key staff from the day-to-day of running or managing a business.  At Consolido we can provide experienced consultants to come in and oversee this process, whether that be a restructure of the business or a department, the implementation of a new system or process or simply a reorganisation of teams.  Careful planning and management, sufficient and appropriate communication with all those affected and managing the personal impacts of changes on the people within the business are important factors in ensuring the evolution is a successful one for your company and delivers on the company's goals.  Let Consolido be your partner in this process.
