On Data
As a small business, the main thing I missed was having someone to talk to who knows the numbers. Having Alpesh, my fractional CFO, to bounce things off, get advice from and have someone hear me out has brought me a lot of clarity and confidence in what I’m doing with the business.
Critically, I needed a robust business plan. Alpesh had the knowledge and experience and took the time to understand my goals before we sat down and figured out what the next 5 years needed to look like. Also being able to pay for only what you need, to get someone in for one day a month, was ideal for me as a small business. It allowed me to access superior financial knowledge where I otherwise might not have been able to.

What kind of accounting services do you provide?
All of the fractional FDs and CFOs in our network are experts in financial management and can help you get your finances in order. However, what we provide is more than basic accounting services. We are a fractional FD and CFO company, meaning we have a big network of experienced, industry-leading financial executives that we connect with SME business owners to help them access financial expertise and business strategy support without needing to spend £150k+ per annum on a full-time CFO.
See the services section below for more information on how we can help your business.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started Ferrock because I was driven by the vision of providing businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with easy access to financial expertise traditionally available only to larger corporations. Our aim is to deliver tailored financial solutions, enabling businesses to make informed decisions, improve financial performance, and achieve sustainable growth.
Why should our clients choose you?
All of the FDs and CFOs we work with are highly experienced and pro-active. They all have many years experience helping business leaders improve their financial management, build a successful business strategy and achieve their organisational goals.
Our services are built on the relationships we create with our clients, meaning we aim to connect you with the right FD or CFO who understands your business goals and is also someone you can talk to easily.
Clients should choose to work with us if they are a start-up or SME that needs some strategic direction when it comes to their business. Whether that’s improving their financial management and implementing better processes or scaling for growth, or needing support navigating a specific business period i.e. raising investment or M&A.

Profitability & Cash Flow
If your business is operating well but your margins are too low, costs are too high and cash flow is not well managed, you will not be operating as profitably as you can. A fractional FD or CFO can help you review your costs and processes to help you increase net profit.
M&A, Business Exits & Transitions
If you are a part of a merger, acquisition, other business transition, or you are planning an exit in the future, there are certain things you will need to consider and do to get your business ready. A fractional FD or CFO will help you make a plan, get the business in order and confidently navigate any business transition or exit as seamlessly as possible.
