Ciaran qualified as an accountant in 1998, and spent 12 years at Hutchison Whampoa, Three and Carphone Warehouse – who all had very entrepreneurial beginnings.
He launched Virtual FD in 2010, on a mission to help new businesses who needed that level of advice, but weren’t ready for a full-time role.
Since then, he has advised over 50 ambitious startups and fast-growth businesses. Almost all came through personal recommendations. He helps them grow, prepare to sell, stay on track – whatever’s needed.
Thanks to this, Ciaran was named CFO of the Year at the British Accountancy Awards 2019.
Small businesses and startups often find finance the toughest problem of all. Before you can afford a full-time FD, you still need to know how you’re doing and where you’re going.
