Why Finsight
More than an accountant. Closer than a CFO.
Traditional accountants tell you what happened, usually once a year and often too late to change it. Fractional CFOs bring strategy, but often with retainers, rigid scopes and little hands-on help. We combine the accuracy of a good accountant with the forward planning of a CFO, from people who have run businesses themselves.
The typical accountant
- Looks back at last year
- Hears from you at year-end
- Tax bills arrive as a surprise
The typical fractional CFO
- Strategy from a distance
- Retainers and long contracts
- Advice, but not much help putting it in place
Finsight
- Compliance handled all year, not just at year-end
- Forecasts and plans you’ll actually use
- Fixed fees for compliance, hourly CFO time, no long contracts
- On Slack, WhatsApp, Zoom or email
Services & fees
Two ways we help. Clear prices for both.
Choose accounting only, CFO support only, or both. Compliance work is a fixed fee agreed before we start. CFO time is billed by the hour, so you only pay for what you use.
Accounting, tax & compliance
Stay compliant without the stress.
We handle the filings, deadlines and HMRC correspondence, so nothing lands as a surprise.
Your exact fee is confirmed on your free call, before any work begins.

Meet the founder
Founded by a CFO who’s been in the room.
Damian is a CIMA-qualified accountant and maths graduate with a background in helping ambitious businesses scale. He has worked closely with startup founders, helping several through successful exits and others through debt and equity fundraising. Finsight brings that commercial thinking to freelancers, landlords and small companies, who deserve CFO-level insight without CFO-level overhead.
Proactive, not reactive
We flag tax and cash flow issues early, while there’s still time to act.
Hands-on
We help put better systems, forecasts and reporting in place, not just recommend them.
Easy to reach
Slack, WhatsApp, Zoom or email. Most clients have a monthly or fortnightly catch-up.
Flexible
Start with what you need now and add more as you grow. No rigid retainers.
Client stories
In our clients’ words.
“Finsight are excellent value for money and I’d highly recommend.”
Damian and his team have been excellent in ensuring I meet my self assessment tax return responsibilities.
Very helpful, friendly and educational when communicating with them and clear in what needs to be done and the process.
Considering some of the prices I saw being quoted for the submission when I was initially looking, Finsight are excellent value for money and I’d highly recommend.
“Damian certainly knows his stuff! Very professional, extremely friendly and a pleasure to work with. My financial request was dealt with both smoothly and efficiently. I’ll definitely come back to Damian! Thanks for your help, knowledge and support!”
“Amazing guy — Damian was super helpful and great to work with. Thanks again!”
“Once Finsight built us a forecast and cash flow plan, everything clicked.”
