How I Work
Fractional CFO
Strategic finance leadership on a flexible, part-time basis. Ideal for scale-ups that need world-class modelling, board reporting, and investor liaison—without the full-time overhead.
Interim CFO
Rapid parachute-in during funding rounds, exits, or leadership gaps. I stabilise cash-flow, rebuild processes, and mentor in-house teams so you stay on course through transitions.
Full-Time CFO
End-to-end financial stewardship for companies ready to embed seasoned C-suite leadership. I drive long-term strategy, capital structure, and investor relations at executive level.
