Is this you?

Sound familiar?

Most clients come to BAVERA at a similar point — not because the books are wrong, but because the numbers aren't telling them enough.

"I have an accountant, but no one tells me what the numbers actually mean."
"I don't know what my cash position will look like in 3–6 months."
"The business has grown and the spreadsheets have turned into chaos."
"We're not big enough to justify an £80–120k Finance Director."
"We're preparing for investment or growth, and the numbers need to hold up."
The engagement

Senior financial capability, delivered with clear accountability.

BAVERA Advisory is designed for businesses that need stronger financial control, clearer reporting and experienced support at leadership level — without the cost and complexity of building a full in-house function.

Engagement model

One engagement. One accountable owner.

We work as an integrated remote part of your team, combining hands-on ownership with commercial judgement. Where accounting support is required, delivery can be coordinated through a trusted accounting company, ensuring continuity, reliability and a joined-up finance support model.

Senior experience, without the cost of a full-time senior hire.

The fee structure is built around that trade-off: senior-level financial expertise, rigorous execution and high personal attention, at a cost that stays sensible for a growing business.

Your accountant records what happened.
BAVERA helps you decide what happens next.

What is covered

Practical financial leadership across the areas that matter most.

The engagement can cover reporting, control, planning, compliance coordination and investor-facing financial work — tailored to the business stage and management priorities.

01

Management reporting

Monthly P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reporting, supported by variance analysis and commentary the board can act on.

So you know where the business is performing, where it isn't, and what needs attention before the next board meeting.

02

Cash flow & forecasting

Rolling cash forecasts, scenario analysis and working-capital visibility ahead of key business decisions.

So hiring, investment and supplier decisions are made with visibility — not guesswork.

03

VAT & compliance oversight

Coordination of UK VAT compliance, HMRC correspondence and enquiry support, with clean, audit-ready records.

So compliance stays quietly under control, instead of surfacing as a problem later.

04

Payroll oversight

Payroll cycles, supplier payment runs and approval controls, coordinated with relevant providers and internal owners.

So people and suppliers get paid accurately and on time, without it landing on your desk.

05

Budgeting frameworks

Annual budgets, departmental cost models and practical policies implemented from scratch where none yet exist.

So spending has a plan behind it, and variances get spotted early, not at year-end.

06

Investor-grade models

Financial models for fundraising, pricing decisions and growth roadmaps — built to be robust, clear and defendable.

So the numbers hold up under investor scrutiny, not just internally.

How it runs

A structured engagement that quickly builds reliability.

The work is set up to create momentum early, establish control and then transition into a steady rhythm of ownership, reporting and strategic support.

01

Diagnostic

A short review of your current numbers, systems and reporting gaps.

02

Foundation

Templates, controls and calendars put in place so the month-end runs with consistency and discipline.

03

Ownership

Ongoing monthly close, reporting pack and forward-looking forecasts, led with clear accountability.

04

Partnering

Working alongside you on pricing, hiring plans, funding and growth decisions as a practical finance partner.

In practice

From fragmented reporting to a reliable monthly finance cycle

UK hospitality business · 60+ properties
Challenge

Growth had outpaced the reporting.

Occupancy, revenue-share and payroll spanned 60+ properties, but reporting was manual, inconsistent and always a step behind the business.

What changed

A single owner, a repeatable cycle.

One person took accountable ownership of the full finance function — building the reporting infrastructure, cash visibility and monthly rhythm from scratch.

Result

A finance function leadership can rely on.

Monthly close, board-ready reporting and cash forecasting became routine, dependable, and no longer dependent on chasing numbers after the fact.
