# Standford Consulting

Standford Consulting is an on-demand CFO services firm based in Redhill, specialising in delivering flexible financial leadership to businesses of all sizes. Founded by Barry Standford, the firm provides both full-time and fractional CFO support tailored to each client's specific needs and growth ambitions.

The business serves growing companies and established organisations requiring strategic financial expertise without the overhead of a permanent executive hire. This includes businesses undergoing transformation, pursuing M&A opportunities, or seeking to optimise their financial infrastructure and cash flow management.

What sets Standford apart is their consultative, bespoke approach. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all methodology, they work closely with leadership teams to understand their vision and shape their services accordingly. Their expertise spans three core pillars: strategic CFO services (including financial planning, reporting, and cash flow management); business transformation (covering cost reduction, FP&A modernisation, and enterprise risk management); and M&A advisory with genuine buy-side and sell-side transaction experience.

The firm distinguishes itself through deep operational knowledge combined with financial acumen. They don't simply provide numbers; they deliver strategic guidance to drive sustainable growth, manage risk, and unlock opportunities. Their commitment to helping clients "transform and evolve to be smarter, faster and stronger" reflects a partnership philosophy focused on tangible business outcomes rather than transactional consulting.
