1. Non Executive Director for Growing Businesses
Progressive Accountants and Lawyers should recommend to growing businesses that they should all
have a Non Executive Director or Board Advisor on board to accelerate growth.
What’s in it for professional advisers?
● A growing client, therefore higher fees
● More opportunity for additional work, Corporate Finance; Commercial Finance; Virtual FD; Virtual
Finance Office; Management Accounts; Advisory etc
● Higher value client
● Greater client satisfaction
The Role of the Non Executive Director
● Represent shareholders and stakeholders
● Hold the executive team to account; guide; challenge and to support them
● Run the Board and ​Drive a culture of continuous operational improvement
● Focus on: Strategy; Performance; People and Risk
● Put measures in place to drive performance, accelerate profitability and sustainable growth
● The detail is the responsibility of the Chief Executive
● Encourage debate and better decision making
● Ensure there are a diverse group of people on the board, different backgrounds and experience
● Challenge and talk through issues that count, being objective
● Usually work 24 days per year split into a couple of days per month
