Is it right for me?
What a finance function actually costs, how we compare to hiring in-house, and straight answers to the questions we get asked first.
Hiring in-house means one salary, one set of skills, and all the risk. Powdr gives you three people for a fraction of this cost.
Salary range is indicative for a UK finance director and varies by sector, size and region.
An accountant records what already happened and files it. We run the finance function forward — management information, forecasting, scenario planning and board-ready reporting — led by a CFO. Most clients keep their accountant for compliance and use us for everything above it.
No. Our platform connects to what you already use — Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, NetSuite and others. Nothing needs ripping out, and there’s no migration project.
Yes. We often work alongside an existing bookkeeper, and we can either complement a part-time FD or replace the role entirely. We’ll tell you honestly which makes more sense once we’ve seen your numbers.
There’s an initial term set out in your order form, after which it moves to a rolling monthly arrangement. You can flex your level of support up or down on 30 days’ notice.
Days rather than months. The first milestone is a working financial model and a clear picture of your numbers — then monthly reporting and check-ins from there.
Yes. We’re ISO 27001 certified, data is hosted on AWS in the UK, and encrypted at rest and in transit. Our independently monitored security posture is published in our Trust Centre.
A whole finance team for the cost of a single finance director, at a transparent day rate with discounts on longer commitments. The pricing page sets out how it works.
A 30-minute call is enough to show you the model, the platform and what it would cost.
