Say Hello

Do any of these questions or concerns sound familiar?

Family and founder-led businesses often face unique challenges like these, but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Now that my kids are part of the business, I’m struggling to balance being their parent and their boss. It’s leading to tension and disagreements.

I want to step back from the business, but I’m not sure if my children are ready or able to take over yet.

My dad says he’s retired, but he still comes into work and makes decisions, which is confusing for everyone and undermines me.

All our money is tied up in the business, and we’re unsure how to divide it fairly between our children. One is involved in running their business, the other is not.

We need a clear plan for handing over the business, but we don’t know where to start.

The business provides for our family, but I’m scared that growing it might put our income at risk.

We want to earn more, but the stress of taking risks feels overwhelming.

Sounds familiar? Let’s chat about your long-term success.

How can we hire talented managers who aren’t family members but will still respect our family values?

Our leadership meetings get stuck on small issues, and we never discuss plans for growth.

We want to expand into new markets, but we need a clear strategy to make it work.

We need to scale up for bigger projects, but we’re not sure how to do it without risking too much.

We’re thinking about bringing in outside investors, but we don’t want to lose our family influence.

I’d like to let others take on more responsibility, but I’m worried they won’t do it the way we would.

It’s impossible to separate work and family life when the business dominates everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Kingsmith do?

Kingsmith specialises in financial strategy, business growth, and leadership development for family and founder-led businesses. We help businesses scale, manage finances, and build strong leadership teams to create long-term success.

Who do you work with?

We work with micro and small businesses across various industries, including: businesses looking to scale beyond £1M+ revenue, owners preparing for succession or exit, entrepreneurs who need clarity on their numbers and business strategy, and family businesses looking for better leadership, team alignment, and financial planning.

Do I need to leave my accountant to work with you?

No, you don’t have to leave your accountant. We can work alongside your existing accountant to provide higher-level financial strategy and business advisory services. However, some clients prefer to have everything under one roof with us. The choice is yours.

Do you offer one-off advice or ongoing support?

We offer both! Some clients need a one-off strategy session, while others work with us long-term for ongoing financial guidance, leadership development, and business coaching.

Do you only work with family businesses?

No. While we specialise in family and founder-led businesses, we also work with entrepreneurs and partnerships looking for expert financial and business strategy support.

Do you only work with UK businesses?

Yes, we currently support businesses across the UK with a special interest in Scottish family businesses.

What is a Fractional Finance Director? Do I need one?

A Fractional FD is a high-level financial expert who works with your business part-time, giving you the expertise of a Finance Director without the full-time cost. You might need one if: you need financial leadership as your business grows, you want better cash flow, budgeting, and forecasting, or you need support with funding, exit planning, or financial decision-making.

Can you help with succession and exit planning?

Yes! Whether you’re transitioning leadership to the next generation, selling your business, or planning a strategic exit, we help you: build a clear succession roadmap, ensure your business is financially prepared for transition, and develop a plan that protects your legacy.

How do you help businesses grow?

We help businesses scale without the common pitfalls by: structuring financial strategies that fuel growth, creating scalable leadership and team structures, implementing profitability and cash flow management strategies, and helping owners step back without losing control.
