Fractional Finance Director and CFO support for growing businesses
Senior financial support, business valuations and transaction expertise for founder-led businesses, with particular experience in recruitment and professional services.
Quintiva combines commercial finance leadership with practical expertise in finance systems, AI and automation.
Senior experience. Practical support.
Why Quintiva
Finance should make a business easier to run, not become another source of complexity.
Growing businesses often respond to financial complexity by adding more people, more spreadsheets and more systems.
The result can be a finance function that costs more but still takes too long to produce information, relies heavily on manual work and gives management several different versions of the truth.
Quintiva was created to take a different approach.
We combine senior financial experience with practical use of systems, AI and automation to build finance functions that are simpler, more scalable and more useful to the people running the business.
Less unnecessary manual work

How Quintiva can help
Better systems. Less manual work. One reliable set of numbers.
Finance teams should not spend their time repeatedly moving, checking and reconciling data where technology can perform the task reliably.
Quintiva reviews finance processes and technology to identify where better systems, AI, bots and automation can reduce manual work, strengthen control and improve reporting.
We have practical experience using automation to replace recurring manual finance tasks.
Where specialist development is required, Quintiva works with trusted technical suppliers while retaining oversight of the finance process, business requirements and controls.
Particular expertise in recruitment
Recruitment businesses have financial and operational complexities that generalist advisers do not always encounter.
Quintiva understands the complete process from placement and timesheet through to contractor payroll, client invoicing, invoice finance, accounting and gross-profit reporting.
That includes the interaction between operational systems, pay and bill, finance platforms, working capital and management information.

Experience from both sides of the table
Quintiva was founded by Adil Mawani, an ICAEW Chartered Accountant and Warwick Economics graduate with experience across founder-led SMEs, privately owned businesses and listed organisations.
Adil co-founded and grew Azuki Accounts, a specialist accountancy and finance practice serving recruitment businesses. In 2026, Azuki was acquired by a top 20 UK accountancy firm.
He also has hands-on CFO experience within an international recruitment group and currently holds EOT trustee director roles.
That combination brings together the perspective of founder, CFO, adviser and trustee.
Clear numbers. Plain English.
Financial information is only useful if the people running the business understand it.
Quintiva explains the numbers without unnecessary accounting jargon, helping management understand what is driving performance, what needs attention and what decisions need to be made.
