Fractional CFO - supporter and challenger

As the leading finance person in your organisation, it's the job of the CFO not only to support, but to question and challenge. To ask difficult questions. So, it's essential for your business that we build trust and develop a good relationship. That's always our starting point.

Are you:

Missing big picture strategic financial management and support?
Lacking credibility with investors and looking for outsourced CFO services for your start-up?
Spending hours with financial reporting, slicing and dicing Excel and CRM data before Board meetings?
Surrounded by 'yes' people who don't bring critical challenges to you or the business?
Struggling to understand where to prioritise and focus your efforts, and the financial implications of this?

Being your fractional CFO - our approach

Our CFOs get under the skin of your business, quickly grasp the key financial levers and see what can be influenced to gear up for success, and they’ll develop insightful metrics, with the right supporting data, so you can see what changes make an impact.

A CFO should do the heavy lifting and leave you to focus on running the business. Our CFOs will support you, prepare financial reporting, forecasts and plans, and help you with pitch decks and presentations to tell your story if you're fundraising.

A fractional CFO is a great sounding board for your company and can deliver critical financial decisions on your behalf without compromising your business relationships.
