Warwick accountancy firm unveils new service to boost profitability

Leask Advisory Solutions (LeaskAS), a Warwick-based accountancy and business advisory firm, has introduced a new service aimed at helping businesses improve their profitability and cashflow.

Specialising in supporting business owners and entrepreneurs, the firm provides tailored solutions designed to help clients make the most of their enterprises.

The new service involves a detailed review of a company’s financial performance over the past year, pinpointing small but effective adjustments to enhance profitability and cashflow.

This service is designed especially for businesses that need additional support to complement their current inhouse or outsourced finance teams.

LeaskAS was founded by Julia Leask, who brings decades of financial expertise to her role as a fractional Chief Finance Officer (CFO) and Finance Director (FD).

Julia works closely with start-ups and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), offering a wide range of strategic financial services.

These include business and investment structuring, cashflow analysis and optimisation, forecasting and budgeting, benchmarking and performance reviews, systems and process evaluations, assistance with securing finance and funding and support for Research and Development (R&D) tax relief applications.

Julia also helps businesses with international ambitions to expand into new markets, leveraging her extensive global experience to navigate the challenges of crossborder growth.

Beyond financial expertise, Julia offers confidential advice on exit strategies and preparing companies for sale, serving as a trusted sounding board for business owners.

Adding to the firm’s comprehensive offerings, Julia’s husband, David Leask, provides IT strategy and advisory services.

With over 25 years of experience working with global technology providers across the UK, Europe, the USA, and Japan, David’s expertise complements the financial services at LeaskAS.

He assists businesses in maximising their technology investments and guides them through digital transformation.

Speaking about the new service, Julia Leask said: “We’re thrilled to launch this new analysis service, which allows us to demonstrate our expertise while giving businesses actionable insights to improve their profitability and cashflow.

“Our broader aim is to help businesses achieve their goals through bespoke strategies that enhance their financial operations.

“Many of our clients approach us during periods of significant change, such as rapid growth or major investment decisions, when they need strategic support but don’t have an in-house Finance Director.

“We pride ourselves on building strong, trusted relationships and offering creative solutions to help businesses thrive.”

Julia also highlighted the firm’s ability to integrate financial strategy with technology, enabling clients to modernise and streamline their operations effectively.
