Senior financial and operational advisory for business leaders

Nexus Management Solutions is a strategic business consultancy based in Essex, providing senior financial and operational advisory services to business leaders across the UK. Founded by Tony, with over 35 years of board-level experience, Nexus helps businesses strengthen performance, increase valuation, and prepare for growth, investment, or exit.

Nexus specialises in three core areas: fractional CFO services and strategic finance support, operational improvement and systems optimisation, and growth strategy including exit readiness and succession planning. Most clients begin with our Company Health Check — a structured one-day diagnostic assessment.

We work primarily with established businesses in Essex, London, and the South East with turnovers between £1m and £20m. Our clients are typically business owners, founders, CEOs, and MDs who need senior strategic guidance but don't require a full-time CFO or COO.

A fractional CFO is a senior financial executive who works with your business on a part-time or project basis. You get board-level financial expertise — strategic planning, cashflow management, investor relations, and financial leadership — without the cost of a full-time hire. It's ideal for businesses that need CFO-level guidance but don't yet need a permanent appointment.

Unlike large consultancy firms that send in junior teams with frameworks and reports, Nexus is led personally by Tony — a seasoned business leader with real operational experience. You work directly with someone who has sat in your seat, navigated similar challenges, and understands what it takes to lead and scale a business. The focus is on practical, implementable solutions, not theoretical reports.

The Company Health Check is a structured one-day diagnostic assessment designed to give business leaders a clear, objective view of their operational and financial readiness. It includes an onsite visit, a RAG-rated diagnostic report, a prioritised action roadmap, and a Nexus Certificate of Operational Readiness. It's how most clients start working with Nexus — low commitment, high clarity.

Yes. While Nexus is based in Essex and works extensively with businesses across the South East, we support clients throughout the UK. Some engagements are conducted remotely, while others involve onsite work depending on client needs and project scope.

If you're facing rapid growth, preparing for investment or sale, struggling with cashflow management, dealing with operational bottlenecks, or simply need an experienced sounding board for strategic decisions, it's likely time for external support. Most business leaders wait too long before seeking help — the earlier you engage, the more options you have.
