Professional finance policies and procedures to strengthen financial controls, improve governance, and create audit ready finance processes. Supporting UK and global businesses.
If your finance team is relying on informal approvals or knowledge held by one person, you need internal financial controls and clear finance policies that ensure consistency and protect your cash.
Consult EFC provides finance policies and procedures services for founder led businesses, UK scale ups, and international groups. We document finance SOPs, strengthen financial governance frameworks, and build the audit ready foundations required for investor due diligence.
| Workstream | What We Deliver | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Gap analysis across procurement, payroll, and expenses. | Prioritised roadmap. |
| Policy Drafting | Bespoke Finance Policy and Procedures manual. | Single source of truth. |
| Control Points | Segregation of duties and sign off workflows. | Reduced fraud risk. |
Internal controls prevent financial leakage, mitigate fraud risk, and ensure data accuracy. As you scale, trust must be replaced by robust systems to maintain governance and become audit ready.
Ideally, once you hit 10+ employees or reach Series A. Complexity in expenses and procurement requires a formal framework to ensure accountability across the team.
No. At Consult EFC, we focus on Lean Governance. We design tech enabled workflows that provide oversight without creating bottlenecks or unnecessary bureaucracy.
