About us

What we believe in

Laurel was founded with the intention of filling a gap in the market - by providing cost effecting Virtual Finance Director / CFO services, along with easy access to all of the ancillary Business Services that a start-up or scale-up business needs.

We can make it easier for your business to thrive.

With increased digitalisation this is even more possible to achieve today. At Laurel we are passionate about exploiting the latest that technology can offer, but doing that in a practical commons sense way, so that results can be seen quickly and business value increased.
