Why Your Finance Function Needs More Than AI?

Why Your Finance Function Needs More Than AI: The Human Touch in CFO Services

In today’s hyper‑efficient business world, it’s tempting to lean entirely on AI. Let it automate forecasting, churn through data, and generate reports—and voilà, your finance department is running like clockwork, right?

Not quite.

Understanding your business—its services, products, and unique challenges—is just as essential as having powerful tools. At OnTheGo, we’re masters at deploying AI to supercharge automation. But ultimately, it’s our people—their strategic insight and deep client understanding—that make all the difference.

Tailored Finance, Not Cookie-Cutter Outputs

Every business is unique. Whether you’re a SaaS platform, building physical products, or selling globally, generic finance processes fall short.

But when you work with us, our CFO services go beyond building financial models. We design entire finance functions tailored to your growth trajectory—and that means we take time to learn your business, your market, and your needs. From KPIs to your burn rate, cash flow strategies to revenue recognition—our support aligns precisely with your growth path.

AI can generate dashboards—but only our people can translate those numbers into meaningful strategy.

Scaling a Finance Function That Grows With You

Startups evolve—fast. As your business matures, your finance function needs to adapt, scale, and eventually transition in-house when the time’s right.

That’s why OnTheGo offers flexible CFO packages:

• Financial Modelling  - from around £2,000 + VAT—covering 12-month cash flow forecasts, scenario planning, budgets, and KPIs
• CashFlow Monitor - from £500/month + VAT—for regular KPIs, variance analysis, aged debtor reviews, supplier payment tracking, and monthly check-ins
• Fractional CFO - £750/day + VAT—for deeper involvement like consolidated reporting, intercompany eliminations, revenue recognition, employee planning, pricing analysis, burn rate tracking, runway planning, and tailored management reporting

We pair this with additional services like bookkeeping, payroll, compliance, and tax incentives (R\&D, SEIS, EIS, EMI) to build a truly scalable finance stack. And when you're ready to transition in-house? Our setup ensures a pain-free handover, as we’ve demonstrated in client success stories.

AI Speeds Things Up—People Drive Success

At OnTheGo, we believe:

• AI accelerates finance, handling routine, high-volume tasks quickly and reliably.
• Our people deliver value, applying strategic insight to transform numbers into decisions that propel growth.

If you want a finance function that’s as agile as your startup, and as scale-ready as your vision—crafting processes that don’t just work, but work for you—let’s talk.
