— Mohamed Chaudry, The Scale Up CFO
I don’t just understand founders, I am one.
Before I led multi-million raises and scaled companies across 8 countries, I was a founder myself — building real businesses before it became fashionable.
This newspaper article was from my very first venture. Funded. Scaled. Sold.
That early journey shaped how I think today: fast like a founder, structured like a CFO, and relentlessly focused on execution.
• Chartered accountant turned founder.
• Built, exited, advised across 25 years.
• Blending founder instinct with corporate finance discipline.
• Real-world operator, not a theoretical CFO.
WHY FOUNDERS HIRE ME
Most founders don’t fail because of their idea. They fail because their numbers don’t tell a story investors trust.
Common pain points:
- Your projections aren’t convincing investors
- Cashflow feels unpredictable and stressful
- You’re preparing to raise without financial clarity
- Your finance function isn’t ready for scale
- You’re unsure how much to raise — or when
Bridge:
Investors fund clarity, confidence, and competence. I give founders all three.
