Service · CFO

Fractional CFO.

Senior finance in your leadership team without a full-time hire. Someone who knows your numbers, sits in the board meeting, and can defend the model in a due diligence call.

What this is about

You do not need a CFO full time. You do need one.

Between the first bookkeeper and the first VP Finance there is a gap of a few years where the decisions are the largest and the in-house expertise is the thinnest.

What you get

Someone senior in the room.

Not another report. A finance lead who has already read the numbers before the meeting starts and will tell you when you are wrong.

A named CFO

One person in your leadership team for an agreed number of days per month, who knows your market, your cap table and your plan.

Board reporting & meetings

Board packs prepared and reconciled, questions anticipated, and someone in the room who can answer them.

Fundraise leadership

The model, the data room, the financial diligence and the investor conversations — run rather than merely supported.

Cash & runway strategy

Where the money goes, which levers extend runway, and which cost decisions actually change the outcome.

Entity & structure

Holding, operating and foreign entities, consolidation and intercompany — set up before it becomes a diligence finding.

Your first finance hire

Defining the role, sitting in the interviews and handing over cleanly when it is time to bring finance in-house.

How it works

Embedded, not visiting.

01

Get up to speed

We start with your numbers, cap table, structure and plan, so the first conversation is about your company rather than generalities.

02

Fixed rhythm

A standing bi-weekly or monthly slot with a forward-looking agenda, built on numbers that have already been reviewed.

03

Scale with events

A raise, an acquisition or a restructuring means temporarily more time — and back down again afterwards. You are not paying for a peak all year.

What you get out of it

Senior finance, without the salary line.

  • Decisions modelled before they are made, not explained afterwards
  • A board that gets the same quality of numbers as a later-stage company
  • A raise run by someone who has been through diligence before
  • Structure and consolidation sorted before an investor finds it
  • A clean handover when you hire finance in-house

Frequently asked

Questions we get a lot.

How much time do we actually get?+

An agreed number of days per month tied to a standing meeting rhythm. When a raise or a transaction needs more, we agree the extra scope before we start rather than invoicing it afterwards.

What is the difference between this and a controller?+

A controller owns the numbers, the close and the budget discipline. A CFO owns structure, financing and strategy. Which one you need depends on your stage — we will say honestly if a controller is enough.

Will you actually join our board meetings?+

Yes, that is the point. Preparing a board pack you then have to defend alone is not a CFO service.

Does this replace hiring a CFO?+

Until a certain size, yes. After that a full-time hire makes more sense, and part of our job is telling you when that moment has arrived instead of extending the engagement.

Can you help if we are already in a raise?+

Yes, though earlier is better. Coming in mid-process we can still run diligence and the model, but the positioning work happens before the first investor call.
