About

Senior financial leadership - personally accountable

I work as a fractional CFO with founders and CEOs, who need senior financial leadership without committing to a full-time hire.

My role is to bring clarity, structure, and judgement to complex financial situations - whether a business is scaling, facing increasing complexity, preparing for financing, or navigating a period of transition.

I remain personally involved in every engagement and take responsibility at CFO level for the decisions being made.

How I work

I do not operate under a consultancy or advisory model. I work directly with my clients and stay closely involved throughout the engagement.

Where appropriate, I collaborate with existing finance teams, fiduciaries, auditors, banks, legal advisors, and other stakeholders - ensuring alignment and continuity without hand-offs or diluted accountability.

Fractional CFO

Experience that delivers

My background includes more than two decades of senior financial leadership across companies at different stages: from growth-driven businesses to established organisations dealing with governance, financing, and structural complexity. This experience shapes a pragmatic approach to CFO leadership:

knowing when speed matters and when structure is required

balancing growth ambitions with financial discipline and risk

translating financial complexity into clear, actionable insight for management and boards

What clients value

Working with me means access to senior financial judgement and practical execution discipline.

Outcome-focused

The focus remains on the decisions that matter most, free from unnecessary complexity and financial noise.

Flexible involvement

The level of involvement adapts to the company’s situation, from focused input to ongoing or intensive CFO support.

Clear communication

Financial topics are explained in plain language, enabling confident decisions by non-financial leaders.

Long-term vision

Even short-term engagements are structured with the company’s future in mind.
