Senior financial leadership on a flexible basis, adapted to your company’s needs, complexity, and stage of development.

Ongoing CFO support focused on decisions, execution, and impact - not standalone consulting.

Startups & scale-ups

Early-stage and high-growth businesses where financial clarity, investor readiness, and strategic momentum matter most.

Established SMEs

Companies with stable operations facing increasing complexity, margin pressure, and higher expectations from banks, boards, and stakeholders.

Startups & scale-ups

In early-stage and scaling companies, financial challenges extend beyond bookkeeping. As growth accelerates, founders need clear insight into cash flow, runway, and unit economics. Fractional CFO support brings structure and clarity through financial models, cash-flow visibility, investor readiness, and strategic decision support.

2. Scenario and sensitivity analysis

Evaluating different growth, hiring, and funding scenarios to understand risks, trade-offs, and decision implications.

3. Cash runway and burn-rate management
