Zero

Long-term lock-ins — monthly engagements only

Sound familiar?

You've outgrown bookkeeping. You're not ready for a full-time CFO.

That gap is exactly where most growing businesses stall — and exactly what we're built for.

You only discover cash problems when they're already urgent

Investor or board updates take a week of spreadsheet archaeology

Pricing is decided by gut feel, not margin data

You can't confidently answer “how many months of runway do we have?”

Revenue keeps growing but profit doesn't — and you're not sure why

Your accountant tells you what happened; nobody tells you what to do next

Ticking two or more of these? That's worth a 30-minute conversation.

What your CFO handles

The finance function, run for you

Everything a full-time CFO would own — delivered by a senior team, scoped to what your business actually needs.

Board & investor reporting

Investor-grade monthly packs with CFO commentary — so board meetings run on insight, not spreadsheet archaeology.

Budgeting & forecasting

Rolling forecasts, budget vs actuals and scenario planning (base, bull, bear) so you see where the numbers are heading.

Cash flow & runway

Cash visibility, runway tracking and collections strategy that surface problems months before they become urgent.

Pricing & profitability

Client, product and service-line margins analysed so you double down on what actually makes money.

Fundraising support

Financial models, data rooms and metrics that stand up to investor due diligence — with a CFO in the room.

A partner on call

A senior finance mind to pressure-test pricing, hiring and spending decisions — between the scheduled reviews.

How it works

Live in days, not months

No months-long onboarding. We scope on the first call and your CFO builds the rhythm from there.

Day 1

Discovery & scoping

We understand your business, your systems and your pain points — then agree a scope and send you a tailored quote.

Week 1

Financial diagnostic

Your CFO runs a full health check — margins, cash, runway, risks — and agrees the priorities with you.

Month 1

First board pack & review

Your first investor-grade monthly pack lands, followed by a working session on what the numbers mean.

Ongoing

A steady CFO rhythm

Monthly packs, forecasts and review calls become a dependable cadence — with your CFO on call in between.

Who you're working with

Held to the standard a board would expect

Senior finance leaders only

Engagements are led by experienced finance professionals with UAE & GCC operating experience — never juniors learning on your books.

Nothing happens in the dark

Every model, report and assumption is shared with you and walked through together. No black boxes, no locked spreadsheets.

Confidential by default

NDAs as standard, least-privilege access to your systems, and your financial information is never shared with anyone.

We work with your accountant

Your accountant keeps you compliant; we add the forward-looking layer. We complement your existing team, not replace it.
