Who We Are
Your Partner for Financial Clarity and Business Growth.
Hi, I’m Samantha Verdier, founder of Stride On Consulting. I’m a Fractional Finance Director, CIMA-qualified accountant (ACMA), and CIMA Member in Practice, with over 25 years of commercial finance and operational experience across industries like media, beauty, events, retail, FMCG, tech, and fintech.
I founded Stride On Consulting to give growing SMEs the hands-on financial leadership they need, insight-driven, cost-effective, and built around their goals, without the commitment of a full-time FD.
I understand the reality of running a business: juggling competing priorities, making big decisions, and needing clarity when things feel complex. My role is to simplify the numbers, cut through the noise, and provide a clear path forward, so you can focus on building the business you want.
Adding value isn’t just about increasing profits, it’s about making your business easier to run and less stressful.
I embed myself in your leadership team to:
- Take time to understand your business and what makes it tick.
- Build solid financial foundations with reliable, clean data.
- Keep cashflow clear so you always know where you stand.
- Translate numbers into plain English you can act on.
- Highlight the key drivers that actually move the dial.
- Act as your sounding board for tough decisions.
What I Believe
Finance should empower you, not overwhelm you.
It’s not about jargon or endless reports, it’s about clarity, confidence, and insight you can actually use.
My role is to give you back time and headspace, so you can focus on leading your team and growing your business.
My Approach
