An IT services firm in London
“As well as the scheduled and structured work we would expect from a Virtual FD, Patrick is supportive, proactive, and understands the need to deliver some work at short notice especially where quick decisions need to be made.
Now in 2022, after nearly four years of working with Patrick, Smartdesc has performed extremely well, and Patrick’s work has contributed to that achievement. Our capacity to make data-driven decisions has greatly improved and cashflow is strong. Over the four years Patrick has worked with us our headcount has grown by 100%, revenue by 315% and cash by over 1000%.
We recommend Patrick as a Virtual CFO”

“Patrick manages the forecast model and helps me plan ahead for the business. He also ensures that our numbers are accurate by liaising with our bookkeeper and accountant. In addition, he provides data analysis as and when required to help with decision making.
The gold in the planning sessions is having that space to step back from the fire fighting and think strategically. Our conversations don’t just focus on the numbers but also on the operational factors that will affect the numbers. He helps me to set quarterly strategic priorities and keeps me on task.
Since we’ve worked together Tom & Co’s revenue has grown rapidly but more importantly Patrick has helped ensure that our profits have grown even faster. Given how much our headcount has expanded, it has been an incredible transformation.
I recommend Patrick as a Virtual CFO!”
