Our Team.
“We bring calm, clarity and financial discipline when the business is moving fast and the choices matter.”
Steven Raikes FCCA, MAAT
Founder
Experius Consulting is led by Steven Raikes, providing fractional CFO support to founder-led businesses that want financial clarity, stronger cash control, and better decisions as they scale, without the cost of a full-time CFO.
With over 30 years of UK and international board-level experience, we bring CFO-level financial leadership that goes beyond accounting. Our work helps business owners regain control of cash, improve performance visibility, and build a finance function that keeps pace with growth. The end goal is to build a more resilient, valuable business and keep exit options open.
We believe financial management should be a source of confidence, not complexity. Many businesses have a good accountant and still feel unsure about cash, working capital, margins, or what the numbers are really saying. That is where we add value. We provide flexible support tailored to what you need, whether that is retained fractional CFO input or a defined project with a clear outcome.
Our work typically includes cash flow and working capital control, forecasting and scenario planning, KPI packs and board-ready reporting, and the practical upgrade of finance routines, controls, and systems. The goal is not just tidy accounts. It is credible numbers and decision support that leadership teams can rely on.
We work across sectors, with particular depth in manufacturing, engineering and industrial products, alongside other operationally complex environments. Where specialist input adds value, we coordinate trusted associates to support areas such as valuations, risk reviews, operational assessments, and transaction workstreams.
