Seven ways to bring senior finance thinking into your business.

Every business is at a different stage, and every finance challenge is different. EC Solution brings senior CFO-level expertise across the full range of ways a business might need it. From ongoing strategic partnership to a single project, to a trusted voice at the board table.

01 · The roles

Choose the shape of engagement that fits your business.

Not every business needs a full-time CFO. Not every challenge calls for an ongoing retainer. EC Solution offers the right shape of engagement for where your business actually is.

01
Ongoing partnership

Fractional CFO

Embedded in your business 1 to 3 days a week, on an ongoing basis.

You get senior finance leadership without the full-time cost. The biggest difference clients describe is finally having someone who joins the dots between the numbers and the bigger picture.

02
Fixed term

Interim CFO / FD

Part-time, fixed term, usually 3 to 12 months.

Covering a gap, steadying the ship, or leading through a period of change. Senior finance leadership, part-time, with someone who can hit the ground running.

03
When you need it

Cover and Continuity

Sickness, parental leave, unexpected departures.

When your finance lead is suddenly out, EC Solution steps in part-time to keep things moving. No panic hiring, no dropped balls.

04
Project-based

Finance Consultant

Project-based with a specific outcome in mind.

A financial model, a cash flow review, an investor pack. Senior thinking, without the ongoing commitment.

05
The structural work

Finance Transformation

The structural stuff.

Systems, processes, reporting, team capability. The work that quietly makes everything else easier.

06
Advisory

Board Advisor

A trusted voice around the table when it matters most.

We provide independent, experienced input to support strategic decisions, challenge assumptions, and bring financial clarity to complex situations. Less about day-to-day delivery, more about perspective, judgement, and helping you see around corners.

07
Formal board role

Non-Executive Director

A formal board role with accountability as well as insight.

We bring governance, oversight, and strategic guidance, while maintaining independence from the executive team. The focus is on strengthening decision-making, supporting leadership, and ensuring the business is set up for sustainable growth.

02 · The common thread

Different shapes. Same value.

Whatever the shape of the engagement, the value is the same. Clarity on the numbers, confidence in decisions, and a senior finance mind in the room when it matters.

01 / Clarity

Clarity on the numbers

Reliable, timely management information that tells you what is actually happening in the business. Not just what happened last quarter.

02 / Confidence

Confidence in decisions

Whether it is a pricing call, a hire, an investment, or an exit conversation, the best decisions are made with senior finance input, not without it.

03 / Presence

A senior mind in the room

Not a junior stepping up, not a generalist spreading thin. Senior financial leadership matched to the shape of what your business needs.

04 / Impact

Value you can measure

Better margins, cleaner cash position, tighter governance, stronger investor confidence. The outcomes that move the valuation and the business forward.

03 · How we start

The first conversation is free.

Every engagement begins with a no-obligation 30-minute discovery call. A structured conversation to understand where your business is, what you are trying to achieve, and whether EC Solution is the right fit.

Step 01

Discovery call

A relaxed 30-minute conversation to understand your business, your challenges, and where financial leadership would have the most impact.

Step 02

Tailored proposal

A clear, specific proposal outlining scope, approach, and how we would work together. No generic packages.

Step 03

Onboarding

A structured period to understand your numbers, your team, your systems, and the priorities that matter most.

Step 04

Ongoing partnership

Regular cadence of reviews, reporting, and strategic input, with flexibility to scale as your business evolves.
