# Helen Fleet: Finance Director Support Services
Helen Fleet is a Finance Director support service based in Hyde, offering strategic financial guidance to business owners who need high-level expertise without the £80k+ cost of a full-time FD. With over 20 years in the industry, Helen takes a collaborative, partnership approach rather than acting as a distant supplier.
She works closely with businesses at any stage—from startups to established companies—to identify financial challenges, set clear objectives and implement detailed plans for growth. Her philosophy centres on understanding the person behind the business and the human complexities of running it, making her notably personable and accessible compared to traditional financial advisors.
Helen's support spans critical business decisions including performance analysis, sales target setting, pricing strategy optimisation, and staffing reviews. She acts as a sounding board for business changes, helping owners understand financial implications and build confidence in their decisions. She's equally comfortable discussing monthly margin performance or planning annual budgets that account for personal income requirements and growth scenarios.
What sets Helen apart is her availability—clients aren't limited to scheduled meetings but can call whenever they need to discuss concerns or opportunities. Her approach is deliberately straightforward and supportive, emphasising personality fit and genuine partnership over transactional relationships. For businesses unable to afford a full-time Finance Director, her retainer-based model provides access to strategic-level financial advice exactly when it's needed.
