What we do

Everything a world-class finance function does. On your terms.

From day-to-day financial discipline to boardroom strategy, we cover the full CFO remit.

Strategic Financial Planning

Multi-year financial models, scenario planning and KPIs that connect your numbers to your strategy — so every decision is grounded in data.

Cash Flow & Runway Management

Rolling 13-week cash forecasts, burn analysis and working-capital optimisation. Know exactly how much runway you have — and how to extend it.

Board & Investor Reporting

Investor-grade monthly reporting packs, board decks and management accounts that build confidence with stakeholders and lenders.

Fundraising & M&A Support

Pitch-ready financials, valuation guidance, data rooms and due-diligence management for equity rounds, debt facilities and exits.

Systems, Controls & Compliance

Finance stack selection, internal controls, audit readiness and clean month-end close processes that scale with your growth.

Finance Team Leadership

We hire, mentor and manage your bookkeepers, controllers and analysts — building a finance team that runs without daily founder input.

How it works

From first call to full finance function in three steps.

01

Discovery & diagnostic

A free consultation followed by a rapid review of your financials, systems and goals. You get a candid assessment of where you stand — no obligation.

02

Your CFO, matched & onboarded

We pair you with a CFO who knows your industry and stage. Within two weeks they're embedded in your team, your tools and your numbers.

03

Operate, report, grow

A steady operating rhythm: forecasts, board packs, cash discipline and strategic counsel — scaling up or down as your needs change.

Why fractional

Full-time expertise. Fractional commitment.

A full-time CFO costs $250k+ a year before equity. Most growing companies need the expertise — not the headcount.

What clients say

Trusted by founders who've been there.

“Within a quarter we had real forecasts, a clean board pack and a CFO investors actually wanted in the room. Our Series A closed two months faster than planned.”

Sarah M.Founder & CEO, B2B SaaS

“We were profitable but flying blind on cash. The 13-week forecast alone paid for the engagement — we caught a working-capital crunch three months before it hit.”

David K.Managing Director, E-commerce

“It's like having a $300k CFO on the team for a fraction of the cost. They hired our controller, fixed our close process and still join every board meeting.”

Elena R.COO, Healthcare Services

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What exactly is a fractional CFO?

A fractional CFO is an experienced Chief Financial Officer who works with your company part-time — typically one to four days a week. You get the same strategic leadership, forecasting and investor-facing credibility as a full-time hire, at a fraction of the cost.

How is this different from my accountant or bookkeeper?

Accountants and bookkeepers look backwards — recording what happened and keeping you compliant. A CFO looks forward: forecasting, pricing, fundraising, capital allocation and strategy. We work alongside your existing accountant, not instead of them.

What size of company do you work with?

Most of our clients are companies from roughly $500k to $50M in annual revenue — venture-backed startups, bootstrapped scale-ups and established SMEs. If you've outgrown spreadsheet-only finances but aren't ready for a full-time CFO, you're in our sweet spot.

How quickly can we start?

After the free consultation, most engagements start within one to two weeks. The first month focuses on a financial diagnostic, cleaning up reporting and building your forecast baseline.

Are we locked into a contract?

No. All plans are monthly retainers with 30 days' notice to pause, change or cancel. We keep clients by delivering results, not by locking them in.

Do you work remotely or on-site?

Both. Most engagements are remote-first with regular video working sessions, and on-site days can be arranged for board meetings, planning off-sites or fundraising milestones.
