Discover how we supported their growth
We have been partnering with Finance Director London for more than five years now, and during this time the support we have received from them has just been immensely useful. […]
We're growing and we've trusted Finance Director London as our financial partner. They're part of our team and they guide us through all things finance. Looking back when the cash was tight, we needed urgent help to stay afloat and acting as a dedicated CFO, Catalina was there to guide us through.
Conversely, now that things are easier, Catalina advises on how to make our money work harder for us. But she also helps us on projects. Projects such as changing an old accounting system into something a bit more modern, a bit more scalable. And on occasion we've had situations where we've been pitching for grants and then managing them, and other times we've benefited from R&D tax credits. Catalina has been there at the heart of all those activities, as well as being a trusted advisor when we need to talk to her.
So in conclusion, I'd like to say that our relationship with Finance Director London is incredibly valuable to us and engaging with them is critical to our success.
Discover how we supported their growth
As a young business, it was essential for us to ensure financial health going forward, and Catalina's expertise was instrumental in helping us achieve this.
Acting as our financial director, she put everything in place, gave us straightforward advice on how to deal with all and any financial issues and even had the patience to answer some very naive questions.
In short, she relieved us of the burden of dealing with all things "finance" and gave us the confidence to build the business. And she delivered it all with a human touch: approachable and friendly.

With over two decades of experience as a Finance Director, Financial Controller, and Accountant and a passion for numbers, I love using my skills and knowledge to help founders in the media and tech sectors turn innovative ideas into successful businesses.
When I’m not immersed in financial strategies, you can find me enjoying a good skiing session or volunteering in my local community. I always start my day with a single espresso.
