FINANCIAL DIRECTION

Outsourced financial management

 

John is an experienced part time Financial Director working with ambitious, growing companies. He aims to build long-term relationships with clients. A typical role will see John work in your business for a day a week, adding value to your accounting processes.

Perhaps, as an entrepreneur, you have the right ideas and have set your business on the road to success. But do you know all your figures and how they can work for your business?

Recruiting a part time FD can be the answer as it means you get high level, strategic advice but don’t have to pay a full-time salary, on costs or non-productive time. Employing a part time FD offers many benefits. As an “outside eye”, John can look at your business from a fresh, independent perspective, offering unique insight.

John has years of experience at working at Director level and can interpret your vison into an on-going financial strategy. It is about using experience and knowledge, combined with the latest accounting systems, to add value to our clients’ businesses.

John’s expertise includes:

  • Management accountancy
  • Financial strategy
  • Raising finance for growth
  • Improving processes and systems
  • Business planning

John's History

John Capper and co. were recruited by a consortium to scope out the finances behind plans for a significant regeneration scheme in his home city. Working with Lucideon and Stoke-on-Trent City Council, John led the financial team advising on how to bring forward plans for an Advanced Ceramics centre of excellence in the heart of the Potteries.

“AMRICC - the Applied Materials Research, Innovation and Commercialisation Centre - is an exciting new plan which is designed to put the city of Stoke-on-Trent at the cutting edge of research into the future use of materials, including advanced ceramics,” said John. “As someone born locally, I was delighted to be able to help build a financial plan for AMRICC. There has been many hours of planning and meetings involving the city council, Lucideon, our universities and the Local Enterprise Partnership to get AMRICC prepared for launch.”

 

Do you know your numbers, is a question which can cause panic with entrepreneurs? You probably started your business based on your skills and passions and those skills and passions have led to growth.

But success brings complexities in the form of staff, goods in and out, unit pricing and how to keep on top of those important figures.

John Capper combines a successful background in accountancy with valuable experience as a business coach, gaining proven success in helping businesses to grow.
