Entrepreneurship taught me how to build. Finance taught me how to scale.

— Mohamed Chaudry, Founder. CFO. Operator.

As seen in:

I don’t just understand founders. I am one.

Before leading multi-million fundraising rounds and scaling businesses across multiple countries, I was a founder myself — building, funding, scaling, and exiting real businesses long before it became fashionable.

• Built, funded, and exited founder-led businesses

• Chartered accountant turned commercial operator

• Founder instinct combined with CFO discipline

WHY FOUNDERS HIRE ME

Most founders don’t fail because of bad ideas.

They fail because their numbers don’t inspire confidence

Investors fund clarity, confidence, and competence.

I help founders build all three.

WHY TRUST ME

$300M+ Raised

Journey from corporate finance to founder empowerment

$300M+ raised | 25+ years in finance | 5 exits | Scaled across 8 countries

I’ve led finance for founder-led and PE-backed businesses through fundraising, scale, and exit — across the UK, Africa, and the Middle East.

I’ve built and scaled organisations of up to 900+ people, implemented investor-grade finance functions from zero, and operated inside businesses where execution mattered more than theory.

Everything I advise founders on is backed by real operating experience, not frameworks built in isolation.
