My Story

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.

How It Works

From First Call to Funded — and Beyond

Four steps from discovery to delivery.

01

Strategy Call

We discuss your business, your raise and what you need. I tell you honestly whether fractional CFO is the right fit and what the engagement looks like.

02

Scope and Start

We agree the scope, timeline and retainer. I embed into your business — joining calls, reviewing documents and building what you need.

03

Build and Raise

Documents built, financial model in place, investor strategy agreed. We approach investors together — or you lead with the materials and preparation I have given you.

04

Close and Scale

Term sheet, close and beyond. I stay engaged through the close and help you build the financial infrastructure for your next stage of growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the fractional CFO service for?+
Ambitious founders raising capital or scaling who need CFO-level financial leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. Typically businesses raising $500K to $20M or scaling to their next stage of growth.
How quickly can you start?+
Typically within one to two weeks of our strategy call. We agree scope and start date on the call and begin immediately once paperwork is signed.
Do you work with early-stage businesses with limited revenue?+
Yes. Many of the businesses I work with are pre-revenue or early revenue. What matters is that you have a real business model, a credible team, and a clear vision. We build the financial infrastructure around that.
Can I start with the DIY or DFY service and upgrade to fractional CFO?+
Yes — and many clients do exactly this. The DIY or DFY service gives you investor-grade documents immediately. The fractional CFO engagement then takes you from documents to funded, and beyond.
Do you work globally?+
Yes. I have worked with founders across the UK, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. All work is delivered remotely with video calls, shared documents and direct messaging access.
