Protect Capital
Capital is easier to lose quietly than it is to raise loudly.
A company can be growing, funded, and still leaking: revenue recognised wrongly, compliance handled at year end, a board pack nobody trusts, controls that exist on paper. None of it announces itself until a diligence process or a regulator does it for you.
This is the finance function as infrastructure: books, controls, reporting, secretarial, and the senior judgement to run them. Full time when the stage needs it, fractional when it does not.
