New West Midlands business on a mission to save at-risk businesses

A recent survey found that 60% of UK businesses are in danger of shutting their doors. Surveyors found that there is a lack of available information to support SME’s with relevant and timely decision-making and risk assessment.  

In answer, Suttongate Consulting Ltd, a Financial Director Consultant Service, has launched their business in the West Midlands, providing solutions to these common business issues.

Suttongate Consulting Ltd are equipped to offer detailed advice on financial management – ensuring robust financial controls are in place so that business risks are minimised and various legislation complied with. Business management – providing the information, guidance and mentoring necessary to ensure timely and effective decision making and leadership, thus making the business “easier and more rewarding to manage” and strategic management – determining the business’ long term goals and objectives, to make certain that “businesses are going in the direction they want and not the direction their competitors would prefer.”

Their service is perfect for SME’s who want the benefits of a skilled Financial Director, but without the need or expense of internal resource. This is coupled with allowing those businesses another experienced perspective is a valuable asset.

Suttongate Consulting director Dominic Sears, has recently been awarded his Fellowship of CIMA (The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants). He is thrilled with the service his company is able to offer businesses in the UK:

“Just because your business already has a book keeper to maintain your basic records and a firm of accountants to attend to your year-end accounts and tax matters, doesn’t mean every aspect of your business’ financial management is covered. There is a huge gap between these two functions that can make a big difference to a business’ success. Medium and large sized companies have a Finance Director or Senior Finance Officer to fulfil this role. Suttongate Consulting can provide the experience and knowledge to meet these needs in your business.”
