Nick Robbins-Cherry, CFO at Epsilogen, shares what it’s like working with MMG’s Virtual Finance team and the impact it’s had on the business.

Where they were

Epsilogen is doing something pretty extraordinary. They’re the world’s leading pan-isotype therapeutic antibody company, focused on developing new treatments for cancer.

They’re one of just a few companies globally working on therapeutic IgA and the only one (as far as they know) working on therapeutic IgE. In short: they’re pushing the boundaries of cancer treatment science.

Behind the scenes, like any fast-moving biotech company, the day-to-day finance function needed to keep up with the pace of growth and decision-making. That’s where MMG’s Virtual Finance team came in.

Support that makes sense

When Nick stepped in as CFO, MMG’s Virtual Finance support was already in place but he quickly realised how much weight it was taking off his shoulders.

With limited in-house capacity, Nick needed a reliable setup that didn’t leave him bogged down in spreadsheets or chasing invoices.

“I treat my MMG support as an internal teammate and offload tasks to them knowing that they will be done quickly, accurately and with minimum fuss. This leaves me free to concentrate on other areas of the business.”

How virtual finance helped

MMG doesn’t just take on tasks, they make themselves part of the team. Nick has been able to lean on their support for the day-to-day financial admin as well as higher-level board reporting.

They’ve helped get the right tools in place so everything runs more efficiently. With Xero at the core, MMG added tools like Dext, ApprovalMax, and Fathom to automate and connect the workflow, making the finance function faster and more transparent.

And when it comes to that all-important board reporting? “MMG takes the lead on producing the monthly reporting pack, which means I don’t have to!”

The difference it made

• No more scrambling for numbers, financials are clear and on hand
• Board reporting is consistent, accurate, and off Nick’s plate
• More confidence in day-to-day decisions and big-picture planning

What they said

“If you need reliable accounting support but aren’t ready to hire in-house, MMG delivers quality, speed, and value that’s hard to beat.”
