Your Business Needs More Than Just a Numbers Person.

Every founder hits that moment - you're growing, your finances are getting complex, and investors want more than basic numbers.

That's where our startup CFO services comes in.

At a fraction of a full-time hire's cost, you get a strategic partner who's been there: someone who has raised millions, optimised burn rates, and knows exactly what your board and investors want to see.

Part-time CFO. Always-On Strategic Partner.

We're not here to send you monthly reports you'll never read. Your dedicated CFO digs into what actually matters - whether it's understanding why your cash is burning faster than expected, identifying which revenue streams drive real growth, or preparing for your next funding round.
