If your business needs stronger cashflow visibility, better reporting, investment readiness, exit planning, business value insight or senior finance support, the best next step is a conversation.
Leask Advisory Solutions works with owner-managed, growth and international businesses that want to understand their numbers properly and use finance to make better commercial decisions.
Led by Julia Leask FCMA, CGMA, Leask provides Fractional CFO, Finance Director-style and strategic finance support for businesses that need senior judgement without necessarily hiring a full-time FD.
Use this page to book a meeting, ask a question or discuss whether Leask is the right fit for your business or client.
A first conversation is a chance to understand what is happening in the business, what you are trying to achieve and where senior finance support may help.
You may want to discuss:
Whether reporting, cashflow or forecasting needs to improve.
Whether Fractional CFO support could help.
Whether your numbers, forecasts and assumptions are ready.
What may be strengthening or weakening future value.
Whether the business is becoming transferable and less owner-dependent.
Whether Leask can help with UK visibility, reporting, governance or coordination.
Use the enquiry form to share a little about your business and what you would like to discuss.
You do not need to have everything worked out before getting in touch.
The conversation is often most useful when you know something needs to change, but you are not yet sure what the right support looks like.
You need to understand where pressure is coming from and what needs to change.
You need clearer, more useful information for owners, boards or leadership teams.
You may need senior finance support before hiring a full-time FD.
Forecasts, assumptions, reporting and due diligence may need strengthening.
Business value, owner dependence and transferability need early attention.
Overseas leadership may need better visibility, governance and adviser coordination.
Processes, routines, responsibilities and controls may need reviewing.
Accountants, bookkeepers and advisers can introduce Julia carefully.
Use the calendar or enquiry form to share what you would like to discuss.
The first conversation is about understanding the business, the issue and whether Leask is the right fit.
That may be a specific service, a deeper review, a resource, a partner introduction or no further action if Leask is not the right fit.
The aim is not to sell you something you do not need.
The aim is to help you understand what kind of finance support would actually move the business forward.
Leask works alongside accountants, bookkeepers, outsourced finance providers and trusted professional advisers where clients need senior finance support beyond the current scope.
Julia can help clients with cashflow, forecasting, board reporting, investment readiness, business value, exit planning, UK finance visibility and Fractional CFO support — while protecting the adviser relationships already in place.
If you have a client whose finance questions have moved into CFO territory, you can contact Julia for a confidential partner conversation.

You do not need to prepare a full finance pack before speaking to Julia.
But it can be useful to think about:
Helps focus the conversation on the outcome.
Helps identify the real pressure point.
Helps assess whether reporting is helping or holding you back.
Growth, cash pressure, investment, exit or international activity may affect the support needed.
Helps define what success should look like.
The conversation can start even if the answers are not yet clear.
That is often the point.
