Example Engagements

What working with Knightwood looks like

Three typical engagements, showing the kinds of challenges we help finance leaders and boards solve.

Portfolio CFO

A growing SME that needs board-level finance

The situation
Revenue is growing, but reporting is late, cash visibility is limited and the board wants more than management accounts.
What we do
A part-time CFO sets up a monthly board pack, a rolling 13-week cash forecast and clear KPIs, and mentors the in-house finance team.
Typical outcome
Board meetings built on timely, trusted numbers, and leadership making decisions on forward-looking cash rather than historic results.

Finance Transformation

A finance team stuck in spreadsheets

The situation
Month-end close runs long, processes live in individual spreadsheets and systems no longer fit the size of the business.
What we do
We map the current process, redesign the close, select and implement fit-for-purpose systems, and document controls.
Typical outcome
A faster, repeatable month-end, fewer manual reconciliations and a finance function that can scale without adding headcount at the same rate.

AI for Finance

A leadership team curious about AI but unsure where to start

The situation
There is interest in AI, but no clear view of which use cases are safe, valuable and realistic for the finance function.
What we do
An AI readiness review identifies priority use cases, from forecasting to policy drafting, then pilots one with the right controls in place.
Typical outcome
A practical AI roadmap for finance, a working pilot and a team confident using AI tools responsibly day to day.
