Supporting ambitious companies to grow with FD Services, Outsourced Accounting and HR Services

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Due to the tight timelines involved I decided we should use a firm who actually uses the chosen ERP solution for their own clients thus making use of their own implementation learnings. Isosceles were the natural choice given their extensive experience of using our chosen system with their clients  ”

Richard Francis, CFO, The ATCORE Group

Isosceles supported us from our humble beginnings right through to becoming a global leader in our market. We worked with some great Isosceles people throughout this time and have always very much appreciated the skills, the support and the many hours of hard work they brought.  Chairman at InsightSoftware

Baz Khuti, Founder and CEO, QiO Technologies

Isosceles have provided a tremendous level of support throughout.  They ran an effective process and identified an international buyer outside of our immediate network of business.  Their blend of corporate finance and accounting skills proved invaluable.

We wanted an experienced partner to act as lead adviser for this acquisition with a win/win negotiation style. Isosceles managed the seller’s expectations so a mutually realistic valuation could be agreed. They kept the transaction simple and straightforward and are easy to work with.  CEO Ancoris

How can outsourced accounting help my business grow?

An outsourced accounting supplier provides everything a business needs to establish a proportionate best-practice finance function at a fraction of the cost of recruiting an internal team.

Providers like Isosceles Finance offer the people, processes, and know-how as well as the latest technology in a flexible service that can expand as the business grows.

They do more than process the transactions, they also set up the financial control environment, keep the cash flowing, and provide timely, accurate, and relevant reporting and insights to inform decision-making and drive growth.  Some, like Isosceles Finance, offer access to strategic support from part-time finance directors.

What are the benefits of FD Services?

FD Service providers, (like Isosceles’ iFD division) offer access to knowledgeable and commercially astute FDs on a part-time or interim basis.  Whether you need an operational FD or a start-up specialist, or a driver of change and growth, a fundraiser or exit specialist, they will have the right FD for your business.

They are available as and when you need them; a few days a week, a few days a month, or on a project-by-project basis.  For a fraction of the cost of a full-time resource, clients can access FD-level expertise and support when required.

They are accustomed to adapting to diverse cultures, working styles, and ownership models, which means they will add significant value from the get-go.

How do you prepare a business for exit?

Everything required to prepare a business for an exit is also required to run an efficient and profitable business. Time and money spent preparing for exit is not wasted but rather an investment in your future even if that future does not equal an imminent exit.

Seven factors influence the value of a business and must be addressed when preparing a business for exit:

  1. 1. Reach – ability to dominate and reach the furthermost corners of your market through a widely established network.
  2. 2. Market temperature – operating in a rapidly growing market, experiencing significant inbound third-party investment, and where offerings can command a premium.
  3. 3. Client relationships – the strength of the bond with your customer, reflected by tenure, price, and satisfaction.
  4. 4. Leadership and Talent IQ – Team’s vision, domain knowledge, creativity, and track record, coupled with their ability to attract, retain and develop top talent.
  5. 5. Your Offering – the ability to offer high quality, IP market-driven solutions, that are compatible with customer needs.
  6. 6. The Numbers – A financially well-run company with managed KPIs which accurately reflect your company’s journey.
  7. 7. Frictionless Delivery – the capability to quickly and efficiently deliver your offering.
What does an overseas company need to know about employing staff in the UK??

The legal framework that applies to employing staff in the UK is different from other countries.

Before employing staff in the UK you must have the following in place:

  1. 1. A legal entity – branch or a subsidiary.
  2. 2. Employer’s Liability Insurance – to protect employers from compensation costs for illness or injury, which is a result of work employees do for you.
  3. 3. Ensure that every employee has the right to work in the UK.
  4. 4. If you want to employ someone who needs a work permit, you must first have a relevant Employer Sponsorship Licence.
  5. 5. You must register as an employer with HM Revenue and Customs before their first payday.
