CFO Services
Most companies need a CFO's judgement long before they need a CFO's salary.
Our CFO Services services
Virtual CFO
A named senior finance lead who runs your finance function remotely: cadence, controls and judgement without a seat in your office.
- Monthly close and MIS ownership
- Cashflow and runway management
- Board and investor reporting
- Banking and lender relationships
Fractional CFO
A CFO for the fraction of the week the business actually needs: from one day a month to two days a week, scaled as the company grows.
- Finance strategy and capital planning
- Fundraise preparation and diligence readiness
- Pricing, margin and unit-economics decisions
- Hiring and mentoring the in-house finance team
Outsourced CFO office
The whole finance function run from our CFO Office: FP&A, controllership and compliance delivered as one accountable service.
- FP&A and budgeting cycle
- Controllership and books discipline
- Statutory and tax compliance calendar
- Audit readiness through the year
Our approach
How an engagement starts
- 01
Diagnose
Two weeks inside the numbers: books, cash, controls, and what the founders actually need decided.
- 02
Right-size
Virtual, fractional or fully outsourced, sized to the decisions ahead, not to a package.
- 03
Install
Cadence, MIS and controls set up so the function runs, not just reports.
- 04
Scale
The engagement shrinks or grows with the company, including hiring your full-time CFO when it is time.
