From an existing EFM Associate:
“Thank you, you have helped me live the dream.”
EFM offers the opportunity for a lifestyle change, to manage a small portfolio of SME clients, and working the hours which give you a work-life balance.

Applicants should be prepared to work on business development, networking and marketing, with the support of our central team and national network.

Associate Testimonial:
“A win – win solution is always the best outcome in any long-term relationship. When I discovered EFM I knew joining the network was the best way for me to achieve my goal of developing a portfolio career leveraging the experience I had built up over my career as a Finance Director.
As an Associate I get the best of both worlds – I have the credibility that comes from belonging to a highly professional network yet get to run my own business within that environment.
I also know any clients I acquire can take comfort from the fact I belong to a group that not only supports its’ members, but also offers a variety of services that might be relevant to them, that greatly exceeds what I could provide if I operated as a sole trader. So, from what I can see, everyone wins.”
Client Testimonials:
“EFM offer professional advice; the quality of advice is fantastic, the speed of follow up, and for me as I work closely with Gary, the value of having him as a sounding board. I’ve worked with them in two ways. With one of their consultants, Andy, on the financial modelling. He’s significantly helped me model the numbers for our future growth, and with Gary who continues to be a mentor for building the business plan”.
Ed Warner, Director
“Malcolm goes out of his way to really get to know and understand the business so it’s not just numbers – he can and has offered proactive advice. Working with EFM has benefited our business immeasurably. I wouldn’t classify myself as being a numbers person. I’m proficient and I understand numbers but to me it’s a sanity check every month which is great. It gives me confidence, and gives my board confidence, that the numbers are correct. I’ve used freelancers in the past and EFM compare really well”.
Zoe Farrington, CEO
“EFM are efficient, quick, and really nice and personable. You feel like they really care. They always like to help; they’re a resource even if it’s beyond the scope of what they’re doing for you. Steve has helped us to raise investment; it’s looking positive. EFM introduced us to people who can help in all areas; they’re really supportive. We were looking for a while to find someone for our financial support and they understood right at the start that we don’t have a lot of cash and that they actually want to help you”.
