Finance that starts with how the yard works.
Scrap Finance Partners is a single-operator consultancy. The work is commercial analysis for owner-managed scrap, recycling and waste businesses — connecting what happens in the yard to what appears in the accounts, so the two stop disagreeing.

26 years of accountancy and finance experience in UK scrap metal.
One person does the work, and you will know who.
The review is carried out by the person you speak to. There is no team of analysts behind the curtain, no work passed down to a junior, and no sales function between you and the person doing the thinking. That is the point of a practice this size.
Sector
UK scrap metal, recycling and waste — not a general practice that also takes scrap clients.

Where the experience actually sits.
Four areas, and the reason each one matters to a commercial decision.
- 01
Accountancy and commercial finance
Month-end, nominal structure, margin analysis and the reporting owner-managers actually use to make buying and selling decisions.
Finance judged by whether it changes a decision in time — not by whether the pack went out.
- 02
Fred and reporting systems
Fred reporting, new site setup, EWC code maintenance and transport module workflows.
Working inside the system the yard already runs, rather than proposing a replacement for it.
- 03
Stock integrity
Stock reporting, investigating stock position discrepancies, and building stock sheets that survive scrutiny.
Separating a reporting gap from a physical stock problem before anyone acts on the number.
- 04
Transport, yard and capacity
Haulage cost, route economics, labour and handling, and the finite yard capacity every deal consumes.
The cost that lands after the deal is agreed is usually the cost that decided it.
The working approach
Listen to the operating context. Test the information already being used. Separate assumption from evidence. Turn what is left into an order of action.
Nothing gets rebuilt for the sake of it
The review works with the records the business already keeps. If a figure has to be constructed specially to make an argument work, that is usually a sign the argument is wrong.
Findings you are meant to argue with
Every conclusion states the assumption it rests on. If the assumption is wrong, you should be able to say so and watch the conclusion fall over. That is a feature.
Clear professional boundaries.
Stated plainly, because a consultancy that will not tell you where it stops is telling you something.
- Commercial consultancy only. Not legal, tax, audit or regulated financial advice.
- No guarantee of savings, margin improvement or any financial outcome.
- Statutory accounts, audit and tax filings stay with your existing accountant.
- Regulated finance, insurance and compliance work belongs with appropriately qualified professionals.
