Book a Conversation See How It Works

This isn't a bookkeeping service. It's your finance department, designed, staffed and led by an experienced CFO.

Most growing businesses don't need a full-time CFO, a full-time finance manager and a full-time bookkeeper. But they do need all three skill sets. CFO Hive gives you each one, in exactly the proportion your business requires.

The Hive Model

Every layer of your finance function. One accountable leader.

Each engagement is structured and supervised by your CFO, so every task is done by someone with the right skills and experience. You never over-pay for senior time on routine work, and never trust complex work to the wrong hands.

CFO Leadership

Strategy, forecasting, board reporting, capital and growth decisions. The financial leadership that shapes where your business goes next.
Finance Management

Month-end close, management reporting, payroll oversight, compliance and cash flow, all run with the rigour of an in-house finance manager.
Bookkeeping & Operations

Accurate, timely transactional processing across reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, done efficiently and reviewed at every level above.

The Difference

Why CFO-led changes everything

A bookkeeping service records what happened. An accountant tells you what it means at year end. A CFO-led finance function shapes what happens next.

Right skills, right task

You never pay CFO rates for data entry, or bookkeeper rates for strategy. Every hour of work is matched to the level of expertise it genuinely requires.

Chartered-level assurance

Your finance function is designed and supervised by a Chartered Accountant with a Certificate of Public Practice, so quality is built in, not bolted on.

Pay for what you need

Scale each layer up or down as your business changes. No salaries and no idle capacity, just a complete finance function at a fraction of the cost of hiring one.

How we begin

First,

We understand your business

A conversation about where you are, where you're heading, and what your finance function needs to get you there.

Then,

We design your function

Your CFO maps the mix of bookkeeping, finance management and strategic support your business actually needs. Nothing more, nothing less.

Finally,

We run it, and refine it

Your finance function goes to work, with monthly rhythm, clear reporting, and a CFO accountable for all of it.

"Growing businesses deserve the same calibre of finance function as the companies they're becoming, without having to hire one person at a time to get it."
