01 / Sound familiar

Sound familiar?

You are the finance team.

The founder checks, chases and signs off every number.

Costs nobody has looked at.

Suppliers, contracts and subscriptions renewed out of habit.

Growing, but is it paying?

Sales are up, and nobody can say if the profit came with them.

02 / What I do

Three things, done properly.

  1. 01

    Examine costs nobody has looked at

    Every cost line, read against what it actually buys.

  2. 02

    Find where to make and save more

    Pricing, product mix and spending, ranked by what moves profit most.

  3. 03

    Help founders understand their money

    Your numbers explained in plain words, every month, until they feel like yours.

03 / What you get

Decisions with confidence, clarity and a forward view.

Confidence

Decisions made on numbers you trust.

Clarity

One page that shows where the money goes.

A forward view

A rolling forecast of the months ahead, not a look back.

04 / Clients

What each of them does →

Ways to work with me.

01 Monthly retainer The base

Every month

Ongoing, as your fractional CFO.

Regular finance reviews, a rolling cash forecast, KPI reporting and ongoing strategic guidance.

02 Hourly

By the hour

For focused pieces of work.

A model, a board pack, a pricing decision or a second opinion, without a monthly commitment.

03 Project-based

Priced per project

For work with a clear start and end.

A fundraise, a reporting system build, or acting as a project's finance lead from contract to close.

Not sure where the gap is?

That is usually the right place to begin. A short call, no pitch. We work out whether it is a numbers problem, an AI problem, or the bit in between, and where starting would help you most.
