— Factr Acquisition & CFO Advisory

Senior financial leadership for the moments that define your business.


Growth. Acquisition. Restructuring. Exit. The moments that define your business deserve senior financial leadership — experienced, commercially sharp and ready when you need it.

01
— The proposition

Financial rigour.
Commercial instinct. Strategic execution.


Every business reaches moments where the decisions are too significant, too complex or too consequential to navigate without the right experience in the room. Growth strategies, acquisitions, restructuring, exit — these are not moments for learning on the job.

Factr brings senior financial leadership and hands-on commercial deal experience to exactly those moments — helping you plan effectively, execute with discipline and integrate with confidence, when in-house capability doesn't stretch far enough.

— How clients reach us

Two routes to working with us.


Some clients grow into advisory through the accounting practice. Others come to us directly for a defined piece of work. Both are equally welcome.

— Route 01

Factr Accounting clients progressing to advisory

Many clients begin their Factr journey through the accounting practice. As their businesses grow, their needs evolve. Acquisition planning, exit preparation, strategic finance — these become natural next conversations. The transition is seamless, because the relationship already exists.

— Route 02

Direct referral & introduction

Factr Advisory also serves businesses that come to us directly — typically via professional referrals, deal intermediaries or trusted introductions. These clients may have no prior accounting relationship with Factr, but need specific, senior-level support for a defined period or project.

— What we do

Four core disciplines.
One Business and Finance partner.


Most clients come to us with a moment in mind. Each of our four core services answers a different question — and where applicable, all are backed by business and finance leadership experience our wider team brings to the table.

— 01 · "I want to acquire"

Buy-side acquisition

Led jointly by Scott & Geoff

We support owner-managed businesses pursuing acquisition as a growth strategy. Our framework is structured and disciplined — from defining the thesis to navigating the first 100 days.

— Prepare

Strategy & readiness

Acquisition strategy, target criteria, financial readiness, funding capacity.

— Acquire

Identification & execution

Target identification, due diligence, valuation, deal structuring, negotiation.

— Integrate

First 100 days

100-day plan, financial integration, reporting alignment, performance tracking.

Our acquisition clients are typically generating £3m–£40m in revenue, pursuing acquisitions in the £1m–£20m range.

— 02 · "I'm thinking about exit"

Exit & sale readiness

Led jointly by Scott & Geoff

Exit is a process, not an event. We start building your financial story long before you go to market — so when the moment comes, your business is ready to command the best possible outcome.

— 03 · "I want to grow"

Growth strategy & performance

Led by Scott

Strategic financial planning, scenario modelling, cash flow management and KPI architecture for businesses focused on sustainable, scalable growth. The discipline that turns ambition into a plan.

— 04 · "I need to restructure"

Restructuring & transformation

Led by Scott

For businesses under financial pressure, we bring calm, experienced leadership to navigate restructuring, turnaround and performance recovery. This is where senior CFO experience genuinely matters — and where we are comfortable operating.

— 05 · "I need stronger financial leadership"

Fractional CFO

Standalone or alongside any of the above

Senior finance leadership on a part-time, retained basis. Typically suited to businesses that:

  • Are growing rapidly and need financial architecture to match.
  • Have outgrown their accounting function but cannot yet justify a full-time CFO.
  • Are preparing for debt, fundraising, acquisition or exit.
  • Need a credible finance voice in leadership and board discussions.
