Meet Lenke Kiss

Founder & Director; ACMA/CGMA, EMBA

With over 20 years of experience in business across a range of industries from travel, to wine importing, banking, hospitality and back again, I’ve long held a deep passion for helping small and medium-sized businesses thrive.

After balancing a demanding career with a growing desire to spend more time with my family, I founded Redcurrant Services (named after my daughter’s favourite fruit!) to focus on business owners and help them navigate financial challenges whilst also achieving their personal aspirations. I am keenly aware that SME business owners are most likely not financial experts and are constrained by limited cash resources – yet it is precisely this segment that often needs a lot of financial savvy to weather challenges, adapt or take advantage of opportunities to bloom and continue growing sustainably.

The skills gained during my varied journey through qualifications (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants; MBA) and real-life financial leadership in busy SMEs and financial services led me back well-equipped to my true passion: supporting values-driven, passionate small businesses.

Most already successful SMEs could use an experienced, senior finance leader but full-time senior finance leaders don’t come cheap. And let’s face it, you may not want them full-time anyway. This is where fractional Finance Directors or CFOs come in: you can get a tailored package of their skills for a fraction of the price of a full-time finance professional – enter Redcurrant Services.

Redcurrant Services is not your off-the-shelf corporate FD “dealership”

I engage, connect and personally care to see you succeed both in the business and in your personal aspirations.

Redcurrant Services has a range of customisable offers to support you with friendly and clear financial expertise. I create and implement financial strategies that help businesses grow, simplify complexity, and align with long-term goals.

So if you own or manage a small or medium size business with over £800k turnover, and have any burning financial issues, exciting growth challenges, or just want to have a clearer picture of your business, check out our offers to see how I can help you reach your business goals and personal dreams.

Why choose Redcurrant?

Many small business owners hit a point where growth brings potentially more stress than reward — especially when finances get messy.

Or maybe they want to grow further but they’re not sure how to do it sustainably. I’ve been there myself as a finance professional.

After two decades in finance and business leadership in SMEs and corporates, and facing challenges with cash flow, profitability and change, I wanted to help others going through the same thing; particularly SMEs struggling with financial management as they scale. It’s at this point that small but ambitious businesses need the expertise of senior finance professionals most – but also where they are likely to least be able to afford one full time.

At the same time, I also wanted a personal change: more flexibility, more time for family and projects that mattered to me, so I started Redcurrant Services — named after my daughter’s favourite fruit as a way to stay connected to what matters most.

At Redcurrant Services, we take a practical, thoughtful approach to supporting small businesses.

We start with a simple review of where things are, then build an action plan that fits your business and your life.

Every business is different, so we focus on what works for you.

We’ve helped clients get on top of their finances, steady their cash flow, and improve their balance sheet — all with a focus on clarity, not complexity. For me, it’s not just about the numbers; it’s about helping you feel more in control, so you can focus on what you do best and what you want to do most.

If you’re running an ambitious business but feel like your financial picture could be clearer, or a small business owner feeling stuck, you’re not alone.

As companies grow, so do the challenges – and having the right support can make all the difference.

At Redcurrant Services, we help business owners make sense of the numbers, streamline decision-making, and build strategies that support both business growth and personal goals. It’s about having the clarity and confidence to keep moving forward, with less stress and more focus.
