About Bluevista
A finance function you can actually talk to.
Bluevista is an Outsourced Finance Manager and Fractional Finance Director practice based in Southend-on-Sea, working with growing businesses across the UK and with particular depth in mortgage, protection and wealth advice firms.
Who you work with
Senior finance experience, without the senior finance salary.
Bluevista is led by Rob Tinnams, an accountant with eighteen years of experience, six of them running a practice in Southend-on-Sea. You deal with the person doing the thinking, not an account manager relaying it.
18 years in accountancy
Across sole traders, limited companies and the practice side, so the advice is grounded in what actually happens to businesses.
Six years as Practice Manager
Running a firm in Southend-on-Sea – leadership, client relationships and delivery, not just technical work.
Qualified and accredited
Bachelor of Business Administration with Honours, and a member of the Certified Public Accountants Association.
Worked internationally
Time living and working in Canada and Australia, and the wider perspective on business and reporting that came with it.
The approach
Close enough to be useful. Senior enough to be worth asking.
The point of an outsourced finance function is not to move work off your desk. It is to put someone in the business who understands the numbers, notices when something changes, and is willing to say so.
You deal with the person doing the work
No account manager relaying questions to someone you never meet.
Cloud accounting throughout
Records stay current and accessible, so the management information has something reliable underneath it.
Scope agreed, fee fixed
What Bluevista handles and what stays in-house is agreed at the start, and priced monthly in advance.
Plain language, always
Complex financial matters explained so that a decision can be made, not so that the explanation sounds impressive.
Powered by
Better finance decisions need better information.
Bluevista uses BlueChasqui, a finance-management and business-performance platform built for precisely this kind of work. It sits alongside the accounting systems already in place, turning financial and operational information into management insight — rather than another spreadsheet rebuilt from scratch each month.
Monitor
Understand what is actually happening — actuals against budget and forecast, from governed information rather than a spreadsheet rebuilt each month.
Plan
Build budgets and forecasts that reflect how the business earns, then see where the current trajectory leads.
Explore
Test assumptions before committing to them, and compare the current position against alternatives.
BlueChasqui is a separate software platform that continues to develop. Bluevista uses it to strengthen the information behind the service — the finance expertise, interpretation and judgement remain human.
Credentials & technology
Qualified, accredited and properly equipped
Professional membership, current cloud accounting accreditation, and the finance-management technology behind the reporting.
Professional affiliation
Member of the Certified Public Accountants Association.
