The FD Group was started in 2004 by Trevor Wilson and Bevan Metcalf, both experienced Chartered Accountants, who were independently providing a part-time Finance Director service to SME business owners.
The solution for The FD Group was to develop a comprehensive package to attract and support high calibre FDs. By avoiding the common mistakes, and in benefiting from a great brand and marketing tools our FDs have the ability to enjoy higher earnings, make a real difference to their clients, while feeling an integral part of a team of like minded professionals.
The FD Group’s focus has historically been around the Thames Valley, but now that the concept has been tested we are all very excited about expanding and going national. We have new franchise opportunities now right across the UK and, if you are an experienced FD, we would like to hear from you.
So many people think of starting their own business - not just for the financial rewards but for the opportunity to be your own boss and run your own life. But the downside is that although you get all the rewards, you also take the risks. Taking on a franchise within a proven operation reduces those risks substantially. By joining The FD Group, you can reduce them even more!
The FD Group’s mission is to develop a UK network of franchisees providing high quality part time Finance Director services to SME business owners. We have a vision to be the FD service of choice to both potential franchisees and SME business owners alike, adding value through our core FD skills, professionalism and commercial expertise.
We know that this mission and vision will only succeed if our franchisees are successful. We will achieve this in three ways:
This means that all FDs within The FD Group know that the hard work involved in building up their business will directly pay them dividends. At the same time, there is the comfort that professional support and encouragement is constantly on hand to help you make this happen.
You have the FD skills! We give you The FD Group brand, our knowledge and experience gained from many years of working as independent Finance Directors, as well as tried and tested ways to generate leads and win new clients.
Starting with our induction training programme, you will quickly find out what works and what doesn’t. You will understand what differentiates The FD Group. You will learn the techniques you need to create a positive impression with potential clients and, most importantly, make the sale.
But it doesn’t stop there. There is ongoing support for your business, enabling you to keep in regular contact with work providers and prospects and maintain a presence in your market place while you are busy working. In addition, a wide range of resources and materials will be available to you when you become The FD Group Franchisee in your area.
