THE MOMENT YOU OUTGROW INSTINCT

A chief financial officer in the room, without one on the payroll.

There is a stage every growing company reaches where the founder can no longer run finance off instinct and a bookkeeper can no longer answer the questions the business is asking — but a full-time chief financial officer is still a stretch too far. That gap is where the wrong decisions get made, and it is exactly where we sit.

What we handle

/

[01]

Senior, selective, and limited by design

This is a hands-on, partner-led engagement, deliberately limited in volume. We take on the companies where we can genuinely move the needle, and we work with the founder, CEO or board as a member of the team, not a report delivered from the outside.

Finance function structuring

01

Financial insight and decision support

02

Board and investor reporting

03

We sit on both sides of this table. Through our Fund Administration work, we understand exactly what institutional investors scrutinise — because we administer the funds doing the scrutinising. That dual perspective shapes how we prepare you.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a fractional CFO and a full-time CFO?

The seniority and the judgement are the same; the commitment and cost are not. A fractional CFO gives you experienced financial leadership scaled to what your business needs and can support right now — a steady presence through growth, or intensive support around a raise or restructuring — without the salary, equity and permanence of a full-time executive hire.

We already have a bookkeeper or accountant. Why would we need this?

Bookkeepers and accountants record and report what has happened — essential work, but backward-looking. A CFO interprets those numbers and shapes what happens next: pricing, capital allocation, fundraising, cash strategy. The two roles complement each other; one keeps the books, the other helps you make decisions with them.

Bringing discipline to pricing, margin, capital allocation and the spending decisions that quietly determine whether growth is profitable.

That is often exactly where we start. Before finance can inform good decisions, it has to be trustworthy, so many engagements begin by structuring the finance function and correcting the processes — fixing the close, the controls and the reporting — and only then move on to strategy and decision support.

Can you help us raise our next round?

Yes — fundraising support is a core part of this service. We get the company investment-ready, build the model, business plan and data room, help shape the equity story, prepare leadership for investor scrutiny, and stand beside you through diligence and negotiation.

How is this engagement priced and structured?

It is scoped to the situation. Some clients want an ongoing fractional-CFO relationship; others need intensive support around a specific event and a lighter touch afterwards. Because this is a senior, selective service, we agree the scope and commercial terms with you directly at the outset.
