Senior finance,
on your terms.

Most growing businesses reach a point where a spreadsheet isn't enough — but a full-time FD feels premature. That's exactly where HOPPS Finance works best. Plug-in expertise, no long-term overhead.

How We Work

Hi, I'm Mick —
not your typical finance person.

Most fractional CFOs speak to each other, not to their clients. We speak to the owner who built something real — and needs a financial partner who respects their intelligence without drowning them in jargon.

"The numbers should give you confidence — not more questions."
01

We speak plain English

No financial smoke and mirrors. We translate complexity into decisions — what it means, what to do about it, and why it matters for your specific business.

02

We've been in the room before

When things get complicated — a cash crunch, a difficult board conversation, a deal falling apart — we've handled it before. Calm experience counts.

03

We work with you, not just for you

Your finance function gets stronger with us involved, not more dependent. We upskill your team and leave things better than we found them.

04

We're direct about what we see

If something in the numbers needs addressing, you'll hear it from us — clearly, constructively, and early enough to actually do something about it.

Who We Work With

Built for owner-managed
businesses.

Growing Fast

Scaling SMEs

Revenue growing, headcount rising, and the finance function struggling to keep up. You need someone who can build the infrastructure before the wheels come off.

In Transition

Businesses at a Crossroads

Raising investment, preparing for sale, bringing on a new partner. High-stakes moments that need experienced financial guidance, not a generalist.

Needs Clarity

Owner-Managers Flying Blind

You know roughly what's in the bank. You don't know if the business is actually performing. We fix the visibility problem — usually within the first month.

Under Pressure

Cash-Stretched Businesses

Facing a cash crunch, a difficult lender conversation, or a refinancing you're not sure how to navigate? We've been in that room before — and we know how to get through it.

Let's have a
straight conversation.

No prep needed. Tell me a little about your business and what's on your mind, and we'll take it from there.

We typically respond within one business day. No hard sell — just a conversation.
