Senior Expertise & Flexible Engagement
Access experienced finance professionals without the commitment of hiring permanent senior finance leadership.
Fractional CFO, Controller & Strategic Finance Advisory
Senior finance leadership for businesses that have outgrown bookkeeping.
Growing businesses often outgrow bookkeeping long before they need—or can justify—a full-time Financial Controller or CFO. Lucenta Advisory provides senior finance leadership that strengthens reporting, cash visibility and financial decision-making through flexible, remotely delivered support.
Helping founders replace financial uncertainty with reliable reporting, stronger cash visibility and better business decisions.

PROFESSIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations from clients and business leaders
What Our Clients Say
Additional feedback from clients who chose to remain anonymous.
“Services are prompt and accurate. We had a good experience right from the beginning. Nilam guided us very well and ensured our return was filed on time.”
What the client valued most“Commitment, knowledge and understanding.”
Process
A clear path from “where are we?” to “we know what to do next.”
Diagnose
We look at the current books, reporting rhythm, systems and pressure points so the first conversation is grounded in reality.
Prioritise
You get a clear view of what matters first, what can wait and where finance work will reduce the most friction.
Implement
We turn the priorities into routines, reports, reconciliations, controls and working files the team can actually use.
Support
Ongoing support feels like having a senior finance colleague in the room when the numbers need interpretation.
Confidentiality & Data Protection
Confidentiality-first working practices for remote finance support.
Sharing payroll data, vendor terms and management accounts with a remote advisor is a real decision. Here is how we approach it.
We work in your approved systems
Wherever possible, work happens inside the accounting, reporting or document systems you approve.
Access is limited to the work
Permissions are kept to what the agreed scope requires, with role-based access wherever the system allows.
NDA first, careful handling throughout
Confidentiality terms can be agreed before onboarding, and sensitive finance, payroll, vendor, customer and reporting information is handled carefully.
Contact
Book a Finance Review Call
Most engagements start with a practical 30-minute conversation. We review your current finance setup, reporting challenges, cash visibility and where the numbers feel unclear. No pitch deck, no pressure, just a focused discussion about what support would actually help.
You do not need to share confidential documents before the call. If documents are required later, access and confidentiality terms can be agreed first.
