Who we are

When you can automate anything.
Experience matters.

FrontierFn is led by Big 4-trained finance transformation professionals. People who have built automated finance functions inside start ups through to major UK corporates, including full SOX compliance programmes. And know exactly what it takes to make one run properly.

That experience is now available to your business. The same standards. The same rigour. At a price that makes sense for an SME.

Why we built this

The same problems.
Every time.

Across every finance transformation engagement, the same underlying problems appeared. Transaction processing was inconsistent. Month-end took too long. The numbers could not be trusted. There was no forward view, and cash was a guess. The finance function was always catching up, never driving.

These were not technology problems. They were deeper than that: problems of control, of sequencing, of workflow, and yes, of process and the software beneath it. But every one of them can be engineered. Sequenced, controlled, automated, made to run the same way every time. A centre of excellence, at the heart of your business.

FrontierFn exists to change that. We took what works inside a major corporate, then overlaid our own experience of running finance inside SMEs, to build a model that delivers the same outcomes for a growing business, at a fraction of the cost.

01The pattern

The legacy trap

Most growing businesses go through the same stages. Bookkeeper. Part-time FD. Full-time FD. At each stage, the function is better than before but still ultimately reactive. We resolve that.

02The shift

Nothing has changed. Everything has changed.

Debits and credits. Process logic. GAAP. SOX. The fundamentals have not changed. Modern tooling, on its own, just runs them faster. That is efficiency, and it is where everyone else stops. The real shift is what comes next: finance that thinks, applies and multiplies. A guide beside your business, not a department behind it.

03The model

The blended workforce

Most others, in one form or another, are still people-powered. Effort-heavy, cost-heavy, capped on scale. We are digital at the base: processing, review and analysis, engineered to run clean. Checked against targeted exception triggers, so quality is controlled, not hoped for. Then come our applied eyes: seasoned judgement, reading across both the hygiene and the meaning beneath it, and translating it into decisions that move your business forward. That is the multiplication.

A note from our founder

A word, from us to you.

FrontierFn began with a simple aim. To deliver the best possible finance function for the organisations we work with.

We believe that through our experience, our talent mix and our use of technology, we do exactly that. We also understand that there is no monopoly on knowledge. That is why we value genuine partnership with our clients, and why we collaborate at every step. It is one of our differentiators, among many.

We do things differently. We are always on, and always onshore. We are transparent on the cost savings we create, and we pass them on where we can. We guarantee our performance. The same goes for compliance and control.

We say all of this because we have lived it. We know the journey, because we have walked it across industries and cycles, for decades.

We deliver future-state finance. Now. Today.

Steve Atkins Founder, Frontier Finance
Governance and compliance

We are committed.
To doing things right.

Governance, compliance and integrity are not add-ons. They are how we operate, for ourselves and for every client. No surprises.

ICO registered

We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office and we safeguard your data accordingly.

AML and KYC

Rigorous anti-money-laundering and know-your-client due diligence, enforced at onboarding. Without exception.

HMRC compliant

We operate within a fully HMRC-registered and compliant environment. Reporting ready as standard.

Responsible business

We are building ESG, community partnership and best-practice standards into the firm as we grow.

How we work

The FrontierFn Way.

Four principles we never compromise on. They are how we work inside every business we join, without exception.

Process is hygiene.

Every task in your finance function follows a programmed, fully audited mechanical process. No key-person dependency. No tribal knowledge. The same result, every time.

Humans handle the exceptions.

Automation handles volume. Our team handles judgement. The digital base runs 24/7: processing, matching and reconciling. Your finance professionals are free to focus on what actually requires a human brain.

Reporting drives the business.

We do not produce reports to tick a box. Your finance function exists to give you the information to make better decisions, faster. Every number we produce has a decision attached to it.

No surprises. Ever.

You know your price before you sign. You know your deliverables before we start. You know what month-end looks like before month-end arrives. Transparency is not a feature. It is a founding principle.

Track record

A team that has delivered.

From disruptor start-ups to billion-pound organisations. The members of our team have run projects and led programmes inside some of the most demanding businesses and institutions in the country.

Imagine the same rigour, scaled to your business.

Systems intelligence

Grounded in the best platforms.
Loyal to none.

We are a formal Xero partner, and we run on Microsoft Business Central 365. We know both platforms deeply. But we are ultimately platform-agnostic: we recommend what is right for your business, not what is convenient for ours.

Xero partner

A formal partner, with the accreditation and day-to-day fluency that brings.

Business Central 365

Our default engine for automated, audit-ready finance that scales with you.

Platform-agnostic

Grounded in both, tied to neither. The right tool for your business, always.

Our stack is your stack. No implementation fee. Ever.

Which means working across the everyday tools your team already uses:
