Finance & Operations

The communication business has always been part science, part art. And most agencies in the sector are very adept at both sides of the equation.

Where they sometimes stumble; getting the underlying financial strategy clear, structure in place and numbers to line up, predictably, consistently and profitably.

We can help.

Introducing our CFO Support practice, made up of high-achieving CFOs with expansive industry-specific experience from independent agencies of all sizes, publicly-listed holding companies and private-equity backed firms.

Our growing team can support in the US, UK or mainland Europe, and whether you’re a CFO looking for an independent view or support on a specific project, or a CEO/Business leader needing CFO level support to ramp up the financial performance, our advisors are ready to lean in.

What our clients say…

“Folgate has been an invaluable strategic partner, helping us bring clarity, discipline, and long-term thinking to our financial management.

They are smart, thoughtful and a pleasure to work with.”

CEO, US based independent agency

“Folgate has brought us deep, senior-level expertise at a pivotal moment on our growth trajectory.

Their ability to anticipate risk, strengthen governance and translate financial insight into practical action had given us greater confidence as we scale and expand our footprint in the UK, US and Africa.

They operate as true partners; commercial, pragmatic and deeply attuned to how modern independent agencies work.”
