AI-powered finance advisory for UK SMEs

Boardroom finance for SMEs, powered by AI.

Better insight, faster forecasting, cleaner reporting. Mayne Consulting blends senior CFO expertise with modern AI tools to deliver finance leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full finance team.

Most SMEs are stuck with finance that can't keep up.

A part-time bookkeeper produces last quarter's numbers. A full-time FD costs £80-120k. There's a gap in the middle — and AI is what closes it.

Before

The traditional SME finance trap

  • Numbers arrive weeks after they matter
  • No real forecasting or scenario planning
  • Board reporting is a panic, not a process
  • Pricing and margin decisions made on gut feel
  • Hiring a £100k FD feels too big a step
After

Finance that moves at the speed of your business

  • Live dashboards, refreshed automatically
  • AI-driven forecasts updated weekly, not yearly
  • Board packs ready in hours, not days
  • Margin and pricing analysis on demand
  • Senior CFO judgement, fractional cost

Six finance functions, one AI-enabled service.

Pick the modules that fit your stage. We combine human judgement with AI to do more, faster and at a lower cost than a traditional finance team.
