Build to Scale Lunch & Learn: Outsourced Finance for Growing Innovation Businesses
As startups and scale-up businesses grow, managing financial operations can become increasingly complex. From compliance requirements and HMRC obligations to reporting, cash flow management and fundraising preparation, founders often find themselves balancing critical financial responsibilities alongside driving innovation and business growth.
Join us for this exclusive Lunch & Learn session, delivered in partnership with PEM, exploring how outsourced finance services can help growing businesses build stronger financial foundations without the need to establish a full in-house finance function.
This practical session will examine some of the most common challenges facing startups and innovation-led businesses, and how access to experienced financial expertise can help improve reporting, identify efficiencies, support strategic decision-making and strengthen investor readiness.
We’ll discuss how outsourced finance can reduce the burden of day-to-day administration while providing valuable insight into business performance, helping founders and leadership teams make informed decisions about growth, investment and future planning.
Whether you’re preparing for fundraising, looking to improve financial processes or seeking greater visibility over business performance, this session will provide practical guidance to help your business scale with confidence.
The session will be led by Andrew Turpin, Partner, Virtual Finance Office (VFO) at PEM, alongside members of the PEM team.
