What we handle

Financial & business advisory services

Senior financial oversight — board reporting, fundraising support and strategic planning — without a full-time hire's salary, visa cost and notice period.
Build-out of financial models for fundraising, budgeting or investment appraisal, stress-tested against realistic scenarios, not best-case assumptions.
Annual budgets and rolling forecasts tied to actual monthly performance, not a static spreadsheet nobody revisits after January.
Working capital and cash flow structuring for businesses managing tight or seasonal liquidity — before a shortfall becomes a crisis.
Valuations for shareholder disputes, fundraising, M&A or succession planning, defensible under scrutiny.
Market and financial feasibility analysis before committing capital to a new venture or location — cheaper to model than to discover after launch.
Operational and financial restructuring advice for businesses under strain or planning a turnaround.
Deal structuring, financial due diligence coordination and post-acquisition integration support.
Financial due diligence for buy-side or sell-side transactions, turned around against real deal timelines.
Structuring an eventual sale or generational transfer well ahead of the transaction itself — the businesses that plan early get better outcomes.
Preparing the financial package — statements, projections, net worth — banks actually require for lending decisions, not a generic template.
Frequently asked

Before you commit to a hire or a decision

How many hours a month does outsourced CFO support usually need?+

It scales with your stage and complexity — a growing SME might need a few hours a week for reporting and board prep; a business raising capital or restructuring needs considerably more during that phase. We scope it against your actual calendar, not a fixed package.

Can advisory work start without switching our bookkeeping to you?+

Yes, though advisory quality depends heavily on the reliability of the underlying numbers — if your books need cleanup first, we'll say so upfront rather than build a model on shaky data.

Do you help prepare for fundraising specifically?+

Yes — financial modelling, a clean historical data room, and a defensible valuation are the three things investors ask for first, and the three most commonly rushed.
