Board & Governance Support
Clearer board reporting, stronger governance and decision-ready financial insight
We provide practical board and financial governance support for founder led businesses, not-for-profits, charities, and growing organisations that need clearer oversight, stronger reporting and greater confidence in financial decision-making.
​
Working closely with Chairs, Treasurers, CEOs and Audit & Risk Committees, I strengthen financial governance, improve board-ready reporting and support better decisions by bringing CFO-level financial insight into the boardroom.
When boards usually seek support
Boards and Treasurers usually seek support when financial information is technically correct, but not yet clear enough to support confident decisions.
​
Common triggers include:
-
Board papers are too dense, too detailed or not decision-ready
-
The Treasurer is carrying too much financial interpretation alone
-
Audit & Risk Committees need stronger financial risk visibility
-
The CEO and Board are not aligned around the numbers
-
There is uncertainty around cashflow, reserves, sustainability or financial risk
-
The organisation is moving through growth, change, remediation or increased scrutiny
Audit, risk and financial oversight
I support boards and Audit & Risk Committees to strengthen audit readiness, financial controls and financial risk oversight.
This may include clarifying risk exposure, improving assurance reporting and helping ensure compliance frameworks are practical, embedded and board-relevant.
Financial sustainability, funding and reserves
I help boards and executive teams strengthen financial sustainability through realistic funding models, cashflow resilience, reserves visibility and longer-term financial planning.
​
I bring a disciplined approach to balancing mission, growth and financial viability, so boards can make better decisions about sustainability and risk.
Governance Remediation and Board Confidence
Boards often engage me during periods of financial stress, governance breakdown or heightened scrutiny.
​
I provide steady, independent support to help remediate governance gaps, strengthen reporting, restore board confidence and create a clearer pathway forward.
Complex change, transactions and board-level risk
I support boards through complex change including restructures, transactions, demergers and other major organisational decisions, with a focus on financial risk, governance integrity and decision readiness.
​
Boards receive clear analysis, practical options and risk-aware recommendations aligned to their fiduciary duties.
Supporting Chairs, Treasurers and CEOs
I work closely with Chairs, Treasurers and CEOs who value strong financial stewardship and trusted advice.
​
My role is to provide clear, board-ready financial insight, challenge constructively when needed, and support more confident leadership through growth, change and complex decision-making.
Together, these capabilities give boards access to practical, independent financial governance support grounded in real-world reporting, oversight and decision-making.
How this fits with our broader CFO services
Board and Governance Support can sit alongside different types of CFO support depending on what the organisation needs.
​
Where the need is ongoing and part-time, this may sit alongside Fractional CFO support. Where the organisation is moving through disruption, vacancy or financial reset, it may sit alongside Interim CFO support.
​
For some clients, Diamond Advisory can also help coordinate broader Managed Finance Support so that governance, reporting and operational delivery work together more effectively.
