Who We Work With - Engineering Consultancies
Engineering consultancies ready for clearer financial leadership
We work with owner-led and director-led engineering consultancies with growing teams - typically between 5 and 20 people - who have reached the point where finance needs more structure, clarity, and leadership.
These are businesses that are performing well on the surface. Projects are moving, the team is busy, and revenue is coming in. But behind the scenes, things feel less clear.
You might recognise some of this:
•You’re busy, but cash flow doesn’t fully reflect the level of work being delivered
•You have an accountant, but they focus on compliance rather than giving you clarity
•Reporting exists in some form, but it doesn’t guide decisions
•You’re considering hiring internally, but aren’t sure what role you actually need
•You’re spending more time than you’d like trying to understand the numbers
Nothing is going wrong.
You’ve simply reached the stage where your consultancy needs a more structured finance function - not just year-end accounts or ad hoc advice
The type of consultancy we work best with
Our clients are hands-on owners or directors who care about building a strong, sustainable business.
They are open to improving how their finance function operates, and they value working in partnership — not just outsourcing tasks.
They want:
•Clear, reliable financial information they can trust
•A better understanding of project and business performance
•Confidence in decisions around growth, hiring, and pricing
•Space to focus on delivery, without carrying the financial workload themselves
Where we fit
Pink Lily Accounting acts as your Virtual Finance Department — giving you the structure, reporting, and financial leadership of a full finance team, without the need to hire internally.
We take ownership of the financial function, while working alongside you as a trusted partner — bringing clarity, calm confidence, and practical insight to how your consultancy operates.
For engineering consultancies who want a finance function that genuinely understands their world, this becomes a steady, long-term partnership — not just a service.
