Grant Thornton UK has rolled out a new offering, CFO Solutions, aimed at providing finance leaders with tailored advice.
According to the company, the new service will develop solutions customised to the needs of individual finance teams and aligned to their organisation’s ambitions.

Experience unmatched clarity with a single platform that combines unique data, AI, and human expertise.
The service is structured around Grant Thornton’s CFO Scorecard, which acts as a working framework to address four main elements of the chief financial officer (CFO) role: value creation, stakeholder management, operational delivery and business protection.
Grant Thornton consulting partner Simon Davidson said: “Finance functions are evolving fast.
“Through our latest Finance Leaders Barometer, CFOs told us that forecasting, talent development, ESG [environmental, social and governance] reporting and AI adoption are all very high priorities for 2026. Yet with limited capacity, achieving these goals demands a new way of working.”
CFO Solutions is designed as a flexible model that can be used by finance leaders across different industries and company sizes.

By GlobalDataThe company has divided the support into five stages.
The first stage, “assess”, is intended to identify the underlying reasons behind obstacles that may be limiting the performance and efficiency of finance functions.
This is followed by a “design” phase, focused on developing or jointly developing solutions that are described as pragmatic and practical.
The third stage, “fix”, concentrates on putting these solutions into practice alongside internal finance teams, with an emphasis on achieving visible improvements within a short time frame.
In the “run” phase, CFO Solutions provides more direct involvement in day-to-day finance activities, including support through outsourcing arrangements and additional resource capacity.
The final stage, “connect”, offers a schedule of insight, events and opportunities for CFOs to engage with peers.
To support the rollout, Grant Thornton has named recently hired partner Sarah Hughes as a key delivery lead for CFO Solutions.
Hughes joined from KPMG and has more than two decades of experience in advising organisations on issues stemming from transactions, business decisions and changes in regulation.
