Business Support in Morley & Leeds
JLS Accountants provides outsourced business support — sometimes called fractional finance director or virtual FD services — to growing businesses across Morley, Leeds and the UK. We deliver monthly management accounts, cashflow forecasts, KPI dashboards and strategic financial advice. Packages start from £75 per month, fixed fee.
What Business Support Looks Like in Practice
For most growing businesses, the gap between “we file accounts annually” and “we have a full-time Finance Director” is enormous. Business Support fills that gap. Each month you receive:
- Management accounts pack — P&L, balance sheet, cashflow vs forecast
- KPI dashboard — the 5-10 metrics that actually matter to your business
- Cashflow forecast — rolling 13-week view, refreshed monthly
- Variance analysis — what’s different from last month, last year, or forecast
- Strategic conversation — 60-minute call to interpret the numbers and decide what to do
You get the financial visibility of a £80k-a-year FD for a fraction of the cost.
Who Business Support Is For
- Founder-led businesses approaching £500k+ turnover that have outgrown their bookkeeper
- Limited companies preparing for investment, sale, or major lending
- Family businesses going through generational transition
- Businesses with stalled growth that can’t see why
- Profitable businesses that feel broke — almost always a cashflow problem
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a virtual FD do?
A virtual or fractional Finance Director provides senior-level financial leadership to businesses too small to need a full-time hire. They deliver management reporting, financial planning, cashflow management, board-pack preparation, and strategic advice — typically one to three days a month.
How is business support different from accountancy?
Accountancy is backward-looking — historic accounts and tax returns. Business support is forward-looking — what should we do next, and is it working?
How much does virtual FD support cost in Leeds?
At JLS, monthly business support starts at £75 per month and typically sits between £350 and £1,200 per month depending on business complexity. That compares to £60,000–£90,000 per year for a full-time FD salary.
Do you work with businesses outside of Leeds?
Yes. Business support is delivered remotely (with optional quarterly in-person reviews) for clients across the UK.
