Business owners often feel trapped
The main causes:
You’re working IN the business, not ON it
You’re firefighting constantly, with no time to step back. You know the numbers matter but you’re too busy to make sense of what they’re telling you.
You’re making decisions in the dark
Is this profitable? Can I afford to hire? Should I invest, or take money out? Every decision feels stressful, wondering if you’re doing things right.
You want to grow or exit but you don’t have a plan
You lack the financial clarity to scale confidently. You may be thinking of selling, but don’t know what your business is worth or how to find out.
How we help ...
Our services are tailored to your needs. You may be looking for a financial forecast to secure bank lending or investment, a business valuation to confirm you’re on track with your retirement plans, or help month-to-month, helping you grow your business and keep cash flow on track. We can help with all of these and more.
Using your existing bookkeeping records as the foundation, we apply our proven CFO framework and turn your data into clear, practical insights.
For monthly clients we work with you on an ongoing basis to identify actionable steps which quickly have a measurable impact on your business.
If you're looking for a one-off piece of work, we'll scope the work and once complete, walk you through everything on a call. You'll leave with a professional report and a clear understanding of the implications for your business.
No jargon, no fluff, no complex accounting language. Practical insights and support that make a difference

We specialise in supporting start-ups and growing businesses to improve cash flow, become more profitable and prepare for eventual exit
We know all too well how hard running a business can be, constantly juggling, worrying about finances and wondering why all the hard work isn’t paying off. Early mornings, late nights, missing out on precious time with family and friends.
But we also know what it feels like to have a business that’s financially healthy: a business that produces steadily increasing profits and cash, where the owner earns good money, enjoys their business and can take time off, all while positioning themselves eventually for a profitable exit.
Cathy Higginson founded Simple Figures CFO Solutions to fill a gap.
She noticed that clients were coming to her from other accountants, frustrated because although their books were in good order, their business was struggling and they didn’t understand why.
Business financials provide crucial insights into the underlying functioning of a business. Without a guide to interpret these, many business owners continue for years stressed, worried and not making the money or having the time with their family they deserve. Simple Figures CFO Solutions is on a mission to change this.
Nowadays our sole focus is on advising start-ups and SMEs how to grow and exit successfully.
As well as an AAT accounting qualification, Cathy is a Certified Business Strategist and set-up and ran two other businesses before Simple Figures CFO.
