Rowan is an advisory practice working with founders and boards across the UK and Europe — experienced finance leadership, sharper reporting and AI-driven process improvement, without the full-time overhead.
Board packs that get read, management information that stands up to questions, and cash flow models built for real decisions.
Year-end close, audit packs and working papers — prepared by someone who has sat on the other side of the audit.
Finance processes overhauled and automated, with AI built into the delivery — no new subscriptions or in-house expertise required.
Behind all three sits broader finance leadership — planning, controls, systems and the day-to-day. If it lives in the finance function, it's in scope.
Audit-trained. Industry-proven. Built across the whole finance function.
Rowan's grounding is chartered accountancy and audit — evidence, controls, and numbers that survive scrutiny.
On top of that sits experience running finance in full: financial reporting, management information, treasury, compliance and international structures, and the operations that keep it all moving.
The practice combines that grounding with hands-on use of AI — applied where it genuinely improves how a business runs, and nowhere it doesn't.
Thirty minutes on what's slowing the business down — a board pack that isn't landing, a year end looming, a process eating hours.
No deck, no obligation. If Rowan isn't the right fit, that gets said on the call.
In writing within the week: what will be done, by when, for what fixed fee.
No day rates, no open-ended retainers. Anything out of scope is named before work starts.
Delivered to the dates agreed, with progress visible as it happens — working files shared, short written updates, no surprises.
Nothing billed that wasn't agreed. Handed over working, with your team able to run it.
Two lines on the business and what's slowing it down is enough. Replies within a working day. First conversations are without obligation.
