Summit 17 Ltd Information

CFO, FP&A and finance systems — delivered as a flexible team so you’re event‑ready, sleep‑better cash‑confident, and moving faster in 6–12 months. We partner with £1–20m turnover, founder‑led businesses to upgrade finance from “backwards‑looking and late” to “commercial, reliable and forward‑looking”. SERVICES Fractional CFO What you get: Executive‑level finance leadership one to four days per month, board‑ready reporting, funding support, challenge & accountability for the senior team. Why it matters: Many founders hire a full‑time CFO too early (six‑figure cost doing spreadsheet work). A fractional blend across CFO/FP&A/systems delivers better results for the stage you’re at — and flexes as you grow. FP&A as a Service What you get: Budget, rolling forecast, monthly variance analysis, revenue/margin levers, scenario planning. Outcome in months 1–3: from reactive, backward‑looking reports to forward‑looking decisions and “sleep‑better” cash confidence. Expect a noticeable step‑change in the first 6–12 months. Event‑Readiness (Sell, Invest, Refinance) What you get: Pre‑Due Diligence finance clean‑up, “single source of truth”, KPI trends, a robust three‑statement model, and a data room that answers the tough questions before they’re asked — protecting value and time through the deal. Systems Review & Automation What you get: Best‑of‑breed stack around Xero with Dext for invoices/expenses, Xero Me for receipts, and Float for cash‑flow — implemented and tuned to reduce manual work, shorten month‑end, and scale volume without adding headcount.
