How CFO-Ready Is Your Finance Team?
This free, 4-minute diagnostic walks through reporting, forecasting, cost control, systems, team capability, and risk. Answer honestly, and you’ll get an instant, detailed readout of exactly where you stand, plus a clear view of where to focus first.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You’re building something serious. But the numbers still keep you up at night.
You have good people around you. Sales are moving. Operations are running. On paper, the business is heading in the right direction. But underneath that, there’s a quieter problem, one that rarely gets talked about openly.
The financial picture isn’t as clear as it should be.
- Forecasts feel fragile and when you can’t trust the numbers, you can’t make confident decisions
- Cash confidence is shakier than it should be at this stage of your business
- Investment conversations, board meetings, or growth planning feel harder than they need to
- You’re aware there’s a gap between where your financial thinking is and where it needs to be
- Every time a financial decision lands on your desk, you’re not quite sure you have the full picture
That gap has a cost. Not just in stress, but in real decisions made with incomplete information, every single month.
The challenge isn’t that you’re not capable, it’s that senior CFO-level thinking has always been reserved for businesses that can afford a full-time finance director.
Until now.
THE SOLUTION
Profit Harmony® Hub: where manufacturing leaders develop CFO-level thinking
Profit Harmony® Hub is a structured development hub for manufacturing and engineering business owners and finance leaders who want to build genuine CFO-level capability, expert training, working tools, and direct mentorship, without the cost or commitment of a full CFO retainer.
Think of it as your CFO development partner: not billing by the hour, not requiring daily engagement, but there when you need to build clarity, confidence, or sharpen a decision.
This isn’t generic finance training. It’s a structured development path for thinking and operating like a CFO built on real commercial insight, trusted data, and practical guidance you can apply immediately.
WHAT IT GIVES YOU:
- Sharper financial decision-making
- Confidence in forecasting and cash flow
- Clarity on what investors and acquirers want to see
- Strategic, CFO-level thinking, without the retainer cost
HOW IT WORKS FOR YOU:
- Develop at your own pace, live or on replay
- Get answers when you actually need them
- No daily engagement required
- Dip in for one decision or build skills systematically, both have value
WHAT IT IS NOT:
- Statutory compliance reporting
- Technical monthly accounting packs
- Payroll or VAT processing
- Pure number-crunching without context
INSIDE THE HUB
Everything is practical. Everything is built to develop a skill or solve a decision.
No passive course libraries. No theoretical frameworks that don’t apply to your business. Every part of Profit Harmony® Hub is built around the decisions and capabilities you actually need to grow into.
Training & Masterclasses
CFO-led sessions that build the skills which actually move the needle:
- Cash flow management and profit control
- Forecasting with genuine confidence, not just spreadsheet exercises
- Strategic planning and commercial decision-making under pressure
- Scaling sustainably without burning cash or losing control
- Broader commercial development: GDPR, contracts, legal structures, marketing ROI
Every workshop is recorded. Watch live or catch the replay when it suits you. Finance professionals can count relevant sessions towards CPD hours.
Expert-Led Specialist Webinars
A carefully selected group of experts supporting your development beyond finance alone:
- GDPR & Data Risk
- Marketing & Sales
- Finance Recruitment
- Investment
- Business Admin
- Operations
They bring specialist expertise across the areas that shape a growing manufacturing business, sharing that knowledge directly inside the Hub.
We also bring in guest experts to cover topics requested by members, finance and non-finance.
Working Tools & Templates
Not PDFs you download and forget. These are working models built for repeated use, so the capability sticks:
- Rolling cash flow forecasting models
- KPI scorecards and commercial dashboards
- Financial health check tools
- Templates for managing seasonal peaks and improving cash confidence
Implementation-ready financial and commercial templates and checklists, with more added each month.
Expert Advice & Mentorship
When something is keeping you awake, you have somewhere to bring it, and someone to help you reason through it.
- Mentoring sessions with Pauline to sharpen your strategic financial thinking
- Regular guest experts across finance, FX, investment, operations and legal
- Live, interactive Q&A on real challenges, not hypothetical case studies
- Tap into Pauline’s 20+ years of international experience and supply chain contacts
Designed to build the insight & confidence you need, so you’re never second-guessing again.
Founding Cohort Offer
Your founding rate. Locked in for as long as you stay developing with us.
Profit Harmony® Hub is launching with a small founding cohort. This isn’t a sales tactic, it’s a deliberate choice. A smaller group means more meaningful interactions, more personal insight, and an environment where your questions are actually answered.
Founders Receive:
Your rate locked for life — as long as you remain continuously enrolled, your rate never increases
A complimentary 1:1 CFO development session — for the first 10 members only. One hour of private, focused CFO-level guidance on a topic of your choice (worth more than a single month’s fee at standard advisory rates)
Priority access to new resources and sessions — as the Hub grows, founding members are always first
Meet our Founding Commercial Experts:
Meet Pauline Healey
Fellow CIMA-qualified CFO. MBA. 30+ years of real-world finance and commercial experience.
I’ve led senior finance teams, worked across global operations and supply chains, and helped businesses across manufacturing, distribution, engineering and professional services regain control of their cash and profitability.
I’ve sat in the rooms where the big decisions get made. I know what investors want to see, what acquirers look for, and what separates businesses that scale confidently from those that stall. And I’ve always believed that financial clarity should be available to more than just the businesses large enough to afford a full-time CFO.
That’s why I built Profit Harmony® Hub. Not as a side project, but as a deliberate effort to bring the kind of thinking that transforms financial confidence to far more business owners and finance leaders than I could ever support through one-to-one work alone.
My approach is practical, direct, and always honest. I will tell you what the numbers are actually saying, not what you might want to hear.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Everything you need to feel confident about joining.
Is this a course or a membership?
It’s a live, ongoing development hub, not a course library you’ll download and never open. You get fortnightly training sessions, expert webinars, direct mentorship, working tools and a community of peers building the same capability. New content is added regularly, and sessions are recorded so you can develop on your own schedule.
What if I’m not technical with numbers?
Profit Harmony® Hub is built for people who want to develop confidence with their numbers, not for people who already have it. Pauline’s approach is practical, jargon-free and focused on real commercial decisions. You don’t need a finance background to benefit.
Can my business pay for this?
Yes. Many of our members have this funded by their business as part of professional development. If it’s for your own business, the cost is claimable against expenses. We can provide an invoice addressed to your company.
Will sessions count towards CPD hours?
Yes. Finance professionals can count relevant sessions towards their continuing professional development hours.
Is this only for large businesses?
The content is most immediately relevant to business owners and finance leaders in £1m+ manufacturing & engineering businesses, but the core development principles apply at any stage. If you’re serious about building your financial confidence and commercial decision-making, you’ll find immediate value here.
What if I join and it’s not right for me?
You can cancel at any time. There’s no long-term lock-in beyond your current period. The founding rate is yours for life as long as you remain enrolled, so there’s no downside to starting early.
How much is it?
£300 (+VAT) per month, or £3,000 (+VAT) for a full 12 months (a saving of £600). Founding members hold this rate permanently for the lifetime of their continuous enrolment.
PROOF IT WORKS
What happens when financial clarity is no longer optional.
Pauline has spent over 25 years helping businesses of every size regain control of their numbers. Here is the kind of work that Profit Harmony® Hub is built on.
“Working with Pauline completely changed how I understood our cash position. We identified £180,000 in working capital we didn’t know we had access to. That single conversation paid for years of advisory support.”
“I always thought I had a reasonable handle on the finances. Pauline showed me I was operating with about 60% of the picture. The other 40% was where all the decisions were actually being made.”
“The forecasting model alone was worth the investment. We went from guessing at cash flow to having a 13-week rolling view we actually trusted. It changed the quality of every board conversation we had.”
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Every month without CFO-level thinking is a month of decisions made with incomplete information.
You already know the value of getting this right. Profit Harmony® Hub is the practical, expert-led development hub that closes the gap, without demanding more of your time than you have to give.
Founder pricing locked for life. Cancel anytime. No long-term commitment required.
