Why this isn’t just another finance bio

I’ve Sat On Both Sides of the Fundraising Table.

I’m Mohamed Chaudry, a chartered accountant turned commercial operator. For 25 years I’ve been a CFO, an advisor, and a founder.

I’ve raised over $300 million for the companies I’ve worked with, and reviewed 250+ pitch decks along the way. I’ve sat as the founder pitching for capital. I’ve sat on the other side reviewing pitches as a CFO. I know what investors look for. I know what trips founders up.

My path wasn’t linear: chartered accountant, corporate finance partner at a boutique advisory firm, then Operating CFO and Group CFO roles across the UK, Africa and the Middle East. Along the way I co-founded a business that took an 8-figure PE investment, advised franchise groups scaling past 400 staff, and eventually built InvestorReady.AI: my own fundraising preparation logic, packaged so any founder can use it.

“This isn’t an AI service. This is my system. The same approach I’d take if you hired me as your CFO, packaged so you don’t need to.”

Trusted by banks and corporate finance partners

Endorsed by Senior Bankers and Founders

“Mohamed is highly experienced in securing finance for his clients. I funded transactions for two clients in the food franchise sector and the level of preparation and quality of documentation was exceptional.”
