Fractional CFO

A CFO in your leadership team, for the days you need one.

I work with CEOs and boards to build finance functions that scale, turn data into decisions, and get the business ready to raise or exit.

What I take on

Finance function build

Systems, controls, month-end close and the right team, from almost zero if needed.

KPIs and business intelligence

LTV, CAC, MRR, margins and daily revenue visibility that the leadership team actually uses.

Board reporting

Board packs that move meetings from ad hoc problem-solving to metric-based decisions.

Cash and working capital

Robust cashflow forecasting, tighter debtor days and timely investor communication.

Fundraising and exit readiness

Debt and equity raises, from £325k facilities to a £30M Series B, plus preparation for sale.

Profitability and automation

Contract reviews, process mapping and automation that lift margin and cut reporting time.
