The gap we fill
The finance function between bookkeeping and a full in-house team.
Many growing businesses already have transactional bookkeeping and an external accountant providing essential compliance support. The gap often sits between those foundations and a full in-house team: timely management reporting, cash visibility, forecasting and commercial decision support.
Why ScalehouseWhat we build
One finance function. Four layers of capability.
Start where the need is clearest. Add structure and seniority as the business becomes more complex.
01Control
Finance foundations
Reliable bookkeeping, reconciliations and month-end processes that keep the core records under control.
02Insight
Management reporting
Monthly accounts, relevant KPIs and commentary that explain what is changing—and why.
03Direction
Finance leadership
Commercial finance and fractional FD support for bigger decisions, stronger planning and the next stage.
04Momentum
Funding & Advisory
Funding readiness, cash planning and access to appropriate specialists when growth or working-capital needs require a well-prepared financial case.

For businesses that have outgrown basic finance—but do not need a complete in-house department.
Scalehouse brings together the level of support you need now, with room to evolve as turnover, headcount, funding requirements and decision complexity increase.
Finance for growing businessesOften a fit when:
- Year-end numbers are no longer enough
- Cash feels harder to predict than profit
- Reporting depends on several disconnected people
- Leadership needs stronger financial challenge
- A full finance-team hire is premature
Recruitment expertise
Finance that understands how recruitment businesses make—and absorb—money.
From temporary recruitment margins and consultant profitability to holiday pay accruals, debtor exposure and payroll funding, our specialist view keeps the numbers connected to the operating model.
Explore recruitment financeWider specialist network
A finance hub that knows when the answer sits elsewhere.
Growing businesses often need tax, audit, payroll, legal, HR, technology or funding expertise alongside core finance. Where specialist expertise sits outside our remit, Scalehouse helps define what is needed and works alongside the appropriate advisers.

Scalehouse was founded by Nick Grant, FCCA, to bring senior finance leadership, commercial finance experience and practical financial insight to growing businesses.
