EFM provides associates with a whole range of support, including: 

• Access to an extensive network of contacts, tools, and opportunities 
• A vital induction programme including guidance on compliance and risk management 
• An advisory board 
• Access to your coach and mentor to help you get started. 

Rather than starting your business on your own, you get to do it with an entire team behind you: a team with a track record of delivering leads and new clients and a group of other supportive associates with similar aims and values 

There are many reasons our associates have joined us, from feeling their skills were being underutilised, to wanting to move to the coast and enjoy a different lifestyle. 

However, many of them are simply looking to create more balance in their life. Not ready for full retirement, they want to strike a middle ground between still having a career with a great income and having more freedom with their time. 

How to become an associate 

If you're seeking a better work-life balance, we are currently recruiting associates nationwide. EFM offers a complete turnkey business solution without the restrictions of typical franchise agreements. Start by learning more about becoming an associate and how our licensing works.

We recommend registering for our 'Introduction to EFM' sessions with either Malcolm Holloway, Head of Recruitment, Training, and Quality, or Jonathan Wheeler, Operations Director. These informative events are not sales pitches; they are opportunities to learn about the benefits of working as a part-time Finance Director with your portfolio of SME clients.

Many SME businesses need affordable support, often in the form of a part-time Finance Director. As a finance professional seeking more flexibility, you can provide this essential help. You'll continue your career with more freedom, while your clients receive the vital advice and guidance they need. It's a win-win situation.
