How are the services provided?
A finance leader can work day-to-day in your business, helping you achieve your immediate or core objectives. Alternatively, a finance leader leader can be used to deliver specific projects which are complex and / or require additional resource.
What is a finance leader?
Traditionally they were called a Chief Financial Officer, Finance Director, Treasurer or Controller. They will be your finance partner and point of contact for delivery of the services. They will use your tools to solve your business challenges. They will help co-ordinate access to a network of partners, when very specialist expertise is required.
What type of firm is The Lumen Collective?
The Lumen Collective (TLC) is a firm of Chartered Accountants, but with both advisory and industry experience. The firm is a member and supervised by The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). TLC’s founder is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation. The firm is able to provide in-house support, but also deliver advisory services. Please see the typical projects under our service offering.
Can the subscription models be tailored?
Absolutely. You can combine packages or fine-tune what’s included based on your needs. We recommend starting with the plan that best fits your current stage and we’ll help shape it with you as things evolve.
How is the price determined for projects?
We’ve standardised pricing for common projects to keep things simple. Final pricing depends on complexity, scope, and how quickly you need it done. No hidden fees, no fluff.
