Key benefits of choosing FDPack
We give SMEs the clarity to make good decisions now — the kind that positively shape what happens next. From financial visibility to confident planning, here’s what sets us apart — and why our clients trust us.
Software and a Service
We are the only UK provider offering both fractional CFO expertise and proprietary forecasting software in one clear, cost-effective solution. You get everything you need to understand your financials and be confident in the decisions you are taking today, so that you are in complete control of your business and its future.
A complete package: we take care of your management accounting
As your business grows, tracking performance gets harder — actuals, budgets, forecasts, margins, cash flow, board packs. Just when you’re on top of it, things change and you’re back to square one. Put your management accounting in a box and let us handle it — so you can focus on your customers, your team, and spend less time worrying about the numbers.
FDPack sits at the heart of your finance and accounting function
We understand the stress and the pressure to make the right calls, because we’ve been in the room where those decisions happen. That’s why FDPack offers a well-defined solution that fits neatly into the “sandwich” between bookkeeping and external accountants and auditors. From customising your accounts to building forecasts and presenting to boards and stakeholders, we give you expert, hands-on support exactly when and where it matters most.
Clients we work with
These are just some of the businesses who have trusted us to deliver our fractional CFO services
FDPack (Spencer and Simon) have given us the technical financial / accountancy expertise that an in-house finance director would give us and have enabled us to build a strategic plan, that is now being tracked each month, so that we can be confident about the growth decisions we are making to reach our financial goals. They are an integral part of our management team now and a pleasure to work with.

A simple way to view, analyse and share your financial statements
FDPack combines actuals, budgets, and forecasts into a single database so that you can move seamlessly along a timeline from past performance to future plans. You can analyse your P&L, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet in any comparative combination and for any timeframe. Drill down to transaction-level detail that you can sort and filter. Choose between variance and trend analysis and share tailored views across your business – giving every recipient the insight they need and in the format that makes sense to them.
Forecasts done properly
FDPack uses an innovative methodology that makes forecasting more accurate and detailed. Forecasts are built with transaction level detail in the same way as the actuals, but done simply using easy to manage schedules. This allows the seamless display and movement along a timeline between actual and forecast for each statement. Forecasts across all three statements are integrated ensuring that, for example, changes to the P&L are automatically reflected in the cash flow and balance sheet.

The FDPack story, so far…
FDPack was built to solve a problem, not sell a product. As a seasoned Finance Director, our founder Spencer Smith created FDPack to help businesses make better decisions through clarity, simplicity and smart financial insight.
Inspired by the Lotus Cars ethos, “Simplify, then add lightness,” Spencer set out to demystify finance and remove unnecessary complexity. What began as an Excel tool has evolved into a powerful online platform. Today, FDPack combines proprietary software with expert support, delivering cost-effective, high-quality management information. With our new online capabilities, this is just the beginning of what’s possible.
