Agile Financial Architecture

Agile Financial Architecture

For hyper-growth companies, we designed an agile financial structure that could scale alongside rapid business expansion. The model combined CFO-level strategic oversight, compliance and internal control functions, agile delivery teams focused on financial analysis and reporting, and platform management experts. This four-layer structure supported the seamless launch of two to three new SPVs each year, with assets under management ranging from £500k to £2bn.

To improve capital decision-making, we developed a real-time DCF valuation model that allowed management and investors to compare holding versus sale scenarios for SPVs. This provided data-driven insights into capital allocation, helping stakeholders maximise returns.

The impact was significant: month-end close cycles were reduced from fifteen days to just three, annual reporting timelines were cut from six months to four, and investor reporting became faster and more transparent. These improvements not only enhanced compliance but also boosted investor confidence, creating measurable gains in both efficiency and value creation.

This achievement highlighted the power of combining agile team structures with advanced financial modelling, enabling businesses to scale rapidly while maintaining control, compliance, and credibility in the eyes of investors.

Key Results:

Month-end close reduced: 15 → 3 days

Annual reporting shortened: 6 → 4 months

SPVs launched annually: 2–3
