What I offer

Fractional CFO Leadership

Fractional CFO Leadership

I step into the CFO role to bring structure, control, and senior judgment. I lead finance at board level, support decision-making, and manage teams, without the delay or cost of hiring full-time.

Hands-on | Commercial | Investor-ready

Fundraising & Investor Readiness

Fundraising & Investor Readiness

I help prepare for a raise by building models that hold up under scrutiny, defining clear metrics, and crafting investor materials that focus on the fundamentals. Precision and credibility throughout the process.

Financial Strategy & Runway Planning

Financial Strategy & Runway Planning

I work with leadership to build financial plans that reflect real drivers of the business. From runway tracking to scenario analysis, I ensure you’re making decisions with confidence, not guesswork.

 Tech-Enabled Finance Ops

Tech-Enabled Finance Ops

I can help you fix the finance stack so it scales. That might mean implementing ERP, automating reporting, or improving data flow. The goal is a lean, efficient function that removes the pain from reporting so finance can pivot towards supporting the business.

M&A & Exit Advisory

M&A & Exit Advisory

I support management through funding rounds, secondaries, and exits. That includes refining models, setting up the data room, and handling diligence, so you can focus on running the business.

Public Speaking & Workshops

Public Speaking & Workshops

Talks and sessions on modern CFO practices, AI in finance, investor readiness, and building high-impact finance teams that scale with clarity and control.
