# Wolf & Wright > Strategic finance for growing businesses. Wolf & Wright bridges the gap between compliance and strategy — providing outsourced finance functions and fractional Finance Director support to ambitious SMEs across the UK. Wolf & Wright is a modern finance firm founded in Cardiff, accredited by the ICAEW. The firm combines the rigour of a strong financial controller with the perspective of a senior Finance Director, delivered through a single, scalable monthly retainer. It was founded by experienced finance professionals who saw a recurring gap in the market: growing businesses had their numbers produced, but rarely had the strategic conversation that should have followed. ## Services ### Outsourced Finance Function A complete, scalable finance function built around the client's business. Covers end-to-end financial support from day-to-day operations through to strategic oversight. Includes: financial reporting and management accounts, cash flow management and forecasting, finance process design and optimisation, systems implementation and automation, and integrated fractional FD support. Typical clients have £1m–£15m revenue, are founder-led, have a scaling team, and no in-house finance leadership. Onboarding typically takes 3–6 weeks. ### Fractional Finance Director Senior financial leadership on demand. Can operate as a standalone engagement or as part of a wider finance function — providing board-level support without the cost of a full-time hire. Includes: strategic planning and decision support, budgeting, forecasting and scenario modelling, raising finance and investor readiness, board reporting and stakeholder communication, and ongoing commercial and financial guidance. Typical clients have £3m–£30m revenue, an existing finance manager or controller, and are planning a fundraise, exit or major change. Engagement typically starts within 2–3 weeks. ### Compliance & Foundations Core financial and compliance services including year-end accounts, corporation tax, ongoing compliance, tax planning, VAT returns, and VAT advisory. ## Pricing / Engagement Tiers - **Foundations (Periodic Review):** Light-touch oversight, quarterly check-ins and senior input on key decisions. Ideal for businesses with capable in-house bookkeeping. - **Outsourced Finance Function (Most Popular):** Fully outsourced finance team covering monthly management accounts, cash flow & forecasting, FD-level board input, and systems & automation. - **Strategic (Fractional FD):** Senior leadership on demand for founders who already have a finance team but need experienced, commercial direction.

All services are delivered through tailored monthly retainers designed to scale alongside the business. ## About Wolf & Wright was founded in Cardiff with the conviction that growing businesses deserve more than a set of accounts and a tax return. The founders each spent over a decade working with SMEs — in practice, in industry, and as in-house finance directors. The firm is led by Zak Wright, Co-Founder & Managing Director. **Core principles:** 1. Clarity over complexity — every number is one you can act on, presented in plain English. 2. Strategy with compliance — the real work begins after the numbers are in. 3. Partnership, not transactions — embedded in the rhythm of the client's business. 4. Modern by design — technology-first, continuously refining systems and automation. ## Contact - **Email:** zak.wright@wolfandwright.co.uk - **Phone:** +44 7855 969 040 (Monday–Friday, 8am–6pm) - **Cardiff:** 5 Raleigh Walk, Brigantine Place, Cardiff, CF10 4LN - **London:** Offices in Shoreditch ## Pages - [Home](https://wolfandwright.co.uk/): Overview of services and value proposition. - [About](https://wolfandwright.co.uk/about): Firm background, founding story, principles, and team. - [Services](https://wolfandwright.co.uk/services): Detailed breakdown of service offerings, comparison, and onboarding process. - [Contact](https://wolfandwright.co.uk/contact): Contact form, email, phone, and office locations.
