Olly Richards
Founder, Story Learning
Working with Insight Matters made it clear—I was making decisions without real financial visibility. Their CFO support gave me a structured way to track, measure, and refine our financial strategy. I now have the right reporting, a clear decision-making framework, and a trusted financial partner to share the responsibility of growth.
Scaling isn’t one-size-fits-all, we build a strategy around your goals
Every major business move comes with financial trade-offs. Without the right financial plan, it could drain resources instead of driving profit. We help you see the full picture before making big decisions.
Scenario planning that puts you in control
What happens if you lose your biggest client? If you hire three people ahead of new work? We model different scenarios, so you’re never making big decisions blind.
Profitable scaling, backed by real numbers
Adding a service line, hiring, or entering new markets? We break down profitability by client and service, so you focus on what truly drives growth.
Growth plans that won’t drain your cash
We map out how growth impacts your working capital, so you can invest in scaling without unexpected shortfalls.
Partner with a strategy-driven CFO
who turns financial blind spots
into growth opportunities.
Most CFOs work from a playbook—we build one around your business.
We dig into your numbers, strategy, and market dynamics to provide financial leadership that fits
how you actually operate. From cash flow planning to long-term growth strategy,
we give you clarity and direction you can act on. Let’s talk.

Got questions? We’re here to help.
Below are answers to some common questions our clients have when considering Insight Matters as their financial partner.
What does a fractional CFO do, and how can it help my business?
A fractional CFO gives you a high-level financial strategy at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time CFO. For 7- and 8-figure agencies, consultancies and online businesses, we:
- Optimize cash flow to prevent shortages and fund growth
- Identify profit leaks so you stop leaving money on the table
- Build a financial roadmap for scaling, hiring, and expansion
- Support exit strategies to increase valuation and prepare for acquisition
📍 Get CFO-level expertise without the full-time expense.
When should I hire a fractional CFO?
You likely need CFO support if:
✔ Cash flow feels unpredictable, and you’re unsure how to fund growth
✔ You’re making more revenue, but profit isn’t increasing
✔ You’re preparing for expansion, investment, or an exit
✔ Your financials aren’t investor-ready, and you need a strong financial strategy
📍 If your business is growing but your financials aren’t keeping up, it’s time for a CFO.
How is Insight Matters different from other CFO service providers?
Most CFO firms focus on financial reports—we focus on your business strategy. Here’s how we stand out:
- More than numbers: We don’t just hand you reports—we help you use them to drive profit and growth.
- Industry expertise: We specialize in agencies and consultancies, and also support eCommerce and digital businesses, so we understand your challenges.
- Hands-on support: From scenario planning to exit strategy, we act as your financial partner, not just a consultant.
- CFO insights at a fraction of the cost: Get high-level strategy without the $250K+ salary of a full-time CFO.
📍 We don’t follow a playbook—we build one around your business.
What’s the difference between a CFO and an accountant?
At Insight Matters, your CFO, accountants, and controllers work together to give you both financial clarity and strategic direction.
- Accountants & Controllers: Keep your books accurate, handle compliance, and provide the financial foundation for decision-making.
- CFO: Analyze the numbers, optimize cash flow, refine pricing, and create a strategy for scaling and profitability.
- Together, we make sure your financials are accurate and actionable.
