What services does Nexus Management Solutions provide?
Nexus provides senior strategic finance and operational advisory across four core areas: Fractional CFO/Finance Director support for financial planning and controls; Operational & Organisational Improvement for process and systems optimisation; Strategic Growth & Exit Readiness for businesses preparing for investment or sale; and access to The Nexus Partner Network of vetted specialists across digital, legal, HR, sales, marketing, and IT.
What is a fractional CFO and how can it help my business?
A fractional CFO provides senior financial leadership on a part-time or project basis, giving you access to board-level expertise without the cost of a full-time hire. This includes financial planning and forecasting, cashflow management, board reporting, financial controls, risk management, and strategic guidance for decision-making. It's ideal for businesses that need CFO-level support but don't yet justify a permanent appointment.
How does operational improvement help businesses scale?
Many businesses grow faster than their systems and structures can support, creating friction and inefficiency. Operational improvement identifies bottlenecks, streamlines processes, aligns technology systems, optimises HR and people structures, and ensures cultural alignment. The result is a business that can scale sustainably without the common growing pains that hold companies back.
What is exit readiness and when should I start preparing?
Exit readiness means preparing your business for sale, succession, or significant investment well before you need it. This includes growth planning, pre-due diligence preparation, valuation positioning, financial readiness, and leadership alignment. The earlier you start, the better — businesses that are "always ready" command higher valuations and have more options when opportunities arise. Most business owners start too late.
What is the Nexus Partner Network?
The Nexus Partner Network is a curated group of vetted specialists across digital, legal, HR, sales, marketing, IT, and other professional services. Rather than trial-and-error hiring, Tony introduces the right expertise at the right time, ensuring specialists understand your business context and work seamlessly with your existing team. This gives you access to a broader range of capabilities without the overhead of permanent hires.
How do I know which service is right for my business?
Most clients begin with a Company Health Check — a one-day diagnostic assessment that provides clarity on your current state, identifies risks, and establishes a prioritised roadmap. Based on these findings, we recommend the most appropriate service or combination of services. This low-commitment engagement ensures you get the right support for your specific situation.
Can Nexus provide multiple services simultaneously?
Yes. Many clients benefit from combining services — for example, fractional CFO support alongside operational improvement, or exit readiness work that incorporates financial planning and strategic growth. Nexus works flexibly to provide the right mix of services based on your business stage, challenges, and objectives. Everything is tailored to your specific needs.
What types of businesses benefit most from Nexus services?
Nexus typically works with established businesses with turnovers between £1m and £20m across any sector. Common scenarios include: businesses experiencing rapid growth that's outpacing their systems; companies preparing for investment, sale, or succession; leadership teams that need strategic financial guidance; businesses facing operational bottlenecks or inefficiencies; and companies that need senior expertise but don't require full-time hires.
How quickly can Nexus start working with my business?
Nexus can typically begin engagements quickly. A Company Health Check can often be scheduled within 2-3 weeks, depending on availability. For ongoing fractional CFO work or strategic projects, timelines are discussed during initial conversations to ensure proper onboarding and alignment with your team and business cycles.
