Founder-led services
Spike Financial
A proper finance function - without the cost of building one in-house.
Led by Patrick Fisher, Spike Financial works alongside founders and leadership teams to build stronger finance functions, improve financial visibility and introduce systems that support confident growth.
What we do
Finance support that turns scattered numbers into decisions you can act on.
Spike Financial supports businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeeping but are not yet ready to build a full finance team in-house.
We bring bookkeeping, VAT, management reporting, cash-flow forecasting and finance systems together in one joined-up service. This gives owners reliable information throughout the month - not just a set of accounts after the decisions have already been made.
Led by Patrick Fisher, Spike Financial works closely with founders and management teams to improve financial control, reduce unnecessary administration and give them a clearer view of what needs attention.
