3 ways to create your financial success
You need to do something different to get better financial results in your business
This is THE place for you if you want to get a grip on the money in your business to get more consistent financial success; better profits, stronger cash flow, building the value of your business, all with less financial stress and pressure.
Don’t let the current chaos in the world put your dreams and plans on hold. The time is now. Not waiting until the economy recovers. It’s time to start building your financial strength and taking control of your future.
You believe in your business. You know you’re great at what you do. But you’ve reached the limit with the financial skills, tools and information you have. You need to do something different to get your business to the next level.
You want a business that makes good money consistently. You want to take away the financial stress, fear and uncertainty about your future.
You’ve tried the obvious things; you’ve asked your accountant for better information, tried to get your book keeper to step up, but it’s still not giving you what you need. You’ve tried running different reports from your accounting package, and you’ve got loads of different spreadsheets, but you know your information and skillset isn’t enough to control your business and build the secure and valuable business you want
Here's what some of our clients have to say
We’ve been working with Serena to develop our financial management as part of our growth program; upskilling the directors and putting the robust financial controls and reporting in place that a fast-growing business needs. Luckily we did this prior to Covid and as a result were on a really strong footing, calmly able to scenario plan and keep the business on track for another successful year.
Managing Director – Hallam Internet Ltd
The work we have undertaken with Serena over the past 18 months has been invaluable in allowing us to successfully navigate through the COVID crisis. The implementation of robust systems, creating financial safeguards in the business and just having another pair of eyes on our business int the toughest of times has been vital to Sherpa. I’m confident this work will now allow us to commence a significant period of growth for our company.

Going into the Covid crisis I knew we didn’t need to panic. Working with Serena I’ve built strong financial foundations and had all the tools I needed to remodel our finances quickly, with certainty we’d be ok for cash because of how we run the business now.
Finance Director – Warranty Administration Services Ltd
The work we have done together over the last 2 years essentially prepared Blueprint to cope with the effects of Covid, and that potentially without it and the solid foundations on which the business is now based, Blueprint may not have survived. The planning, forecasting and systems we now have in our business have been transformational and give us the confidence to plan confidently for a bright future.

Serena always manages to make finance so exciting and interesting, which is brilliant for us and our clients. Many business owners don’t get to grips with their finance and find it confusing. Serena has a style that makes it easy to understand and relevant, using clear language and practical examples. She really knows her stuff!
Managing Director, Troy Business Services Ltd
After years of reading her articles and following her work, we approached Serena for some tailored coaching to level-up our skills in finance and strategy. Working with her allowed us to unlock a level of clarity that we never imagined possible.
Serena has given us much more than financial coaching – she has changed the way we get out of bed in the morning, how we decide to spend our day and how we make decisions around our business. Our stress levels have gone down dramatically because we aren’t worrying about something just beyond the horizon that we didn’t know about. Here are some of the ways she’s changed Fat Free Media for the better:

Serena’s advice has truly changed my life as a business owner. After 10 years running my own firm, I can now say with confidence that I know exactly what’s happening with my cashflow and plan properly for growth. Her advice is invaluable.

Meet Serena Humphrey, the inspiration behind the F Word
In the recession of the early 90s I had a trio of financial disasters; my parents lost their home and business, I lost the home I’d proudly bought when I was 18 and the fast-growing £10m business I worked for as accounts manager went dramatically bust. Hundreds of jobs were lost. My parents and my bosses lost everything they’d worked all their lives for.
It became my life’s mission and purpose to understand what had happened and to find ways to stop it happening to other people. To help business owners not only survive but create the level of financial success and security they deserve for the risk, work and sacrifice it takes to run a business.
I’ve now been running my own business for over 20 years, working in and with hundreds of small businesses. I’ve spent years crafting my 10 step blueprint to make financial management simple, and training business owners how to create consistent profit and cash, building financial strength and value into their businesses.
I’m a Chartered Management Accountant, experienced Finance Director, and an NLP Coach. I’ve been working in finance for 30 years. I did my professional training with Northern Foods plc and NEXT plc. I then started and built a management accounting practice from 2000 to 2012, before selling it to create The F Word.
