Your entire finance function — without building a team.

A Virtual Finance Office gives your business access to a complete finance function — from day-to-day bookkeeping to senior financial oversight — without needing to hire multiple people internally. It's built for businesses that need more than bookkeeping, but aren't ready to build a full in-house finance team.

A traditional accountant typically handles year-end accounts and tax returns. A Virtual Finance Office goes much further — covering the full finance function including bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, cashflow, controls and strategic input, all under one engagement.

A Virtual Finance Office covers the day-to-day finance function — processing, reporting and controls. A Fractional CFO is more strategic — forecasting, board-level thinking and growth planning. Many clients have both under one Heights engagement. On the discovery call we'll recommend what fits your situation.

Yes — we can plug into your existing setup, provide oversight for internal staff, or handle the full function ourselves. The engagement is built around what you actually need, not a fixed template.

Yes — the cost of a Virtual Finance Office is fully deductible for corporation tax purposes, meaning HMRC effectively refunds a portion at your corporation tax rate. There is also no employer's National Insurance payable, unlike an employed member of staff.

Most clients are up and running within 2 weeks of the discovery call. Once the scope and fee are agreed on the call, we send the Letter of Engagement, handle HMRC agent authorisation and book your onboarding session. You don't chase anything.
