About Jupiter FD

A finance director who's sat in your seat.

Jupiter FD was founded to give ambitious Cardiff, Swansea and South Wales businesses access to senior finance leadership — without the cost, or the wait, of a full-time hire.

Jordan Thomas

Founder, Jupiter FD

Jordan founded Jupiter FD after a decade working inside businesses ranging from SME manufacturers and distributors to a £150m divisional finance function — and noticing the gap sitting between the two. Growing businesses were either drowning in bookkeeping-level reporting with no one senior enough to challenge it, or facing the cost and commitment of a full-time FD they weren't ready for. Jupiter FD exists to close that gap: senior, hands-on finance leadership, sized to fit the business rather than the other way round.

Most businesses turning over less than £15m don't yet need a full-time Finance Director — that's exactly where Jupiter FD fits.

Jordan still works inside a business as an FD himself — so the advice comes from someone actively running the numbers day to day, not just consulting on them.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS · HOW WE WORK

Approach

What doesn't change, whoever the client.

Every engagement looks a little different, but these are the things Jordan won't flex on — from the first phone call through to the board pack behind a funding round, years down the line.

Plain English, not jargon

A good report answers "so what?" — not just "here's what happened." Every number comes with the decision it's pointing you toward, explained the way you'd explain it to a colleague.

The tax return is the floor

Getting the numbers accurate and compliant is Financial Controller-level work — the floor, not the service. An FD's job starts where that stops: turning those numbers into the call the business makes next.

In the room, not just the inbox

Board meetings, cash flow reviews, the call before a big decision — Jordan shows up for the moments that actually shape the business, not only the month-end close.

The tools get looked after too

Manual spreadsheets and outdated systems slow every decision down. Keeping the software behind your numbers current is part of the job, not an afterthought.
