"We need the 'big company skills' necessary in a fast growing company - without the big company overheads"

"It's comforting to know that Ralph is just a phone call away"

Cygnus Technology Solutions Ltd has quickly become one of the UK's leading lights in IT security. From start - up two years ago, we have secured significant business deals with major UK corporations. Any young company has the same dilemma - the need for high quality management skills, whilst keeping down overheads.

Ralph provides valuable assistance in preparation and interpretation of our management accounts, and in preparing financial reporting for the Board. We get corporate financial know-how 'on demand' and although Ralph works on a part time basis, we get full-time commitment. We are delighted with the arrangement.
