Discuss this priority ↗01
Planning, budgeting & forecasting
Build a financial plan around the commercial and operating assumptions that drive the business. We connect revenue, capacity, costs and working capital, then test alternative scenarios. The model is structured for ongoing use, with clear inputs and ownership, so leadership can update decisions as trading conditions change.
What you can put to work: Budget and forecast model · Driver assumptions · Cash-flow scenarios · Planning cadence

Management reporting & performance
Turn financial information into a clear view of business performance. We define the management pack, metric calculations and variance commentary around the questions leadership needs answered. Revenue quality, margin, costs and cash are considered together so a strong headline number does not obscure an emerging operational issue.
What you can put to work: Management reporting pack · KPI definitions · Variance analysis · Leadership review agenda
03
Cash flow & working-capital visibility
Understand how cash moves through the business and where timing creates pressure. We map receivables, payables, inventory and recurring commitments, then develop forecasts and monitoring routines. The work supports practical discussions with operational owners about collection, purchasing and growth commitments.
What you can put to work: Cash-flow forecast · Working-capital view · Collection and payment assumptions · Monitoring rhythm
04
SME finance readiness & commercial cases
Organise the information a business needs to explain its performance and plans to potential funding counterparties. We help structure financial models, business plans and supporting materials, making assumptions and sensitivities clear. This is commercial preparation and management support; financing decisions remain with the relevant counterparties.
What you can put to work: Financial information checklist · Business case · Scenario model · Presentation materials
05
Finance processes & digital readiness
Review the workflows behind reliable reporting, approvals and record keeping. We map responsibilities, control points and system requirements, including preparation for e-invoicing where relevant. Implementation scope and specialist tax or legal input are identified explicitly rather than treating a systems project as a guarantee of compliance.
What you can put to work: Finance process maps · Control responsibilities · System requirements · Readiness action plan
06
Fractional finance leadership
Bring a regular financial management rhythm to a business that needs senior input without a full-time role. The engagement can support planning, reporting, decision preparation and coordination with existing accounting or external advisers. Responsibilities and authority are agreed at the start; regulated advice and statutory assurance require appropriately authorised specialists.
What you can put to work: Agreed leadership remit · Management cadence · Decision support · Finance improvement roadmap
DECIDE WITH CONFIDENCE
A useful first conversation. A clear next step.
Where should we start?
Start when cash flow and forecasts need more visibility; management reporting is inconsistent; funding preparation or finance processes need structure. We use the first conversation to separate symptoms from the priority worth addressing.
Can we work with your existing team?
Yes. We define what your team owns, what Aurlume delivers and where specialist input is needed. The engagement can focus on diagnosis, implementation or both, with shared review points and usable documentation.
What does a successful handover include?
The agreed outputs, the assumptions behind them, named internal owners and guidance for day-to-day use. We set acceptance criteria during scoping and identify what needs ongoing review rather than treating delivery as the end of adoption.
How are fees and timelines agreed?
Fees and timelines depend on scope, available information, implementation complexity and the level of ongoing support. A focused project, fractional leadership or an Execution Studio can be considered after the priority and responsibilities are clear.
