About Us

Serving E-Commerce Businesses

We proudly serve the UK e-commerce sector as a trusted fractional CFO and finance partner. As an exited e-commerce owner, our founder Julie understands the unique challenges of running your store. From streamlined bookkeeping to detailed financial models and board-level insight, we provide the numbers and clarity that help e-commerce founders scale with confidence.

E-commerce brings unique financial pressures: cash tied up in stock, fast-moving sales cycles, high marketing spend, and the need to manage multiple sales channels, payment providers, and VAT rules across different regions. We understand these challenges and build systems that give you a clear view of margins, inventory, and cash runway in real time.

Our bookkeeping and finance solutions give growing e-commerce brands the feel of an in-house finance department at a fraction of the cost. Just as you optimise fulfilment and customer experience, we optimise your finance function, providing peace of mind, sector-specific expertise, and investor-ready reporting without the overheads.

Cygnus was founded out of frustration. As a business founder myself I have successfully scaled and exited my own venture, I thrive on the hustle and bustle of entrepreneurship. I know firsthand that effective communication and pragmatism are absolutely essential when partnering with a finance team, yet in all the companies I've worked with, finance solutions have been archaic and sadly lacking innovation.

Cygnus haven't reinvented the wheel, we simply communicate better with our clients, leverage technology and empower owners by giving them clarity on thier finances, enabling them to make confident, informed decisions at pace.
