Judith Halkerston OBE

Angela Brown

I founded FinFlare to give ambitious businesses their own virtual finance team led by a dedicated finance director.

Our mission is to give every business founder their own finance director.

Traditional accountants are good at getting the year-end accounts and tax filed. But they don’t get under the skin of a business. Start-ups ready to scale deserve more. They need more than an accountant once per year: they need a finance director to guide and support them through the challenges of scaling up.

I am an experienced in-house finance director, working with investor-backed businesses looking to scale-up. I have commercial experience of helping businesses develop their finance teams, enhance their finance and data reporting, and build their operations.

As a chartered accountant with over 20 years experience, I specialise in helping ambitious businesses grow.
