A finance seat when you need one.

Fractional CFO leadership, financial planning, capital structure, and board-grade reporting — the numbers your biggest decisions ride on, run by senior people, part time.

The bridge between the consulting practice and Capital — finance as judgment, not just bookkeeping.

What it is

The problem, and how we solve it.

Most growing companies hit a stage where they need senior finance judgment but not yet a full-time CFO — and the gap is dangerous, because it's exactly when the numbers start driving consequential decisions. This service fills it: a fractional CFO and a finance function that gives you board-grade clarity without the permanent overhead.

We cover the full picture: financial planning and analysis that guides the business, the right capital structure, board and investor reporting that builds trust, and the models that decisions ride on. It's finance as judgment — what the numbers mean and what to do about them — not just bookkeeping.

This is also the most natural bridge into Capital. When a decision becomes a deal — a raise, a sale, a restructuring — the same team moves with you into Capital Services, so the finance thinking and the transaction execution stay connected rather than handed between firms.

How we work with you

Five ways to bring us in.

Scoped to the outcome, not the hours. Most engagements start with a short readiness conversation, then take one of these shapes.

01

Build sprint

A fixed-scope build that ships a working system in weeks — not a phased programme that never lands.

02

Embedded operator

We sit inside your team and run the function until it's self-sustaining, then hand it over.

03

Readiness program

We get you ready for what's next — a raise, a sale, an AI rollout — and close the gaps first.

04

Fractional capability

A senior CFO, CMO, CSO, CHRO, or CTO for as long as you need one — full weight, part time.

05

Principal partnership

Where we believe, we put skin in — capital alongside you, or work for a share of the upside.

Packages

Fixed-scope ways to start.

Productised entry points — clear scope, clear outcome.

Seat

Fractional CFO

A senior CFO, part time, for as long as you need one — board-grade, on demand.

Model

Financial Model

The model your decisions ride on — built, stress-tested, and yours to run.

Readiness

Finance Readiness

The reporting, controls, and numbers in shape for a raise, a board, or a sale.

Where it lands

Two angles, in the sectors we know.

Finance work lands hardest where the decisions are consequential and the numbers must hold.

Questions, answered

The things people ask first.

What does a fractional CFO actually do here?

Everything a CFO does — planning, structure, reporting, board work — at full seniority, part time. You get the judgment without the full-time cost or the gap.

How is this different from the Capital arm?

This is the advisory finance seat inside your business; Capital executes transactions. When a decision becomes a deal, the same team carries it from one into the other.

Can you get us ready to raise or sell?

Yes — finance readiness is core. We get the reporting, controls, and numbers in shape so a raise or sale runs clean.

Do you replace our accountant?

No. We sit above the bookkeeping — judgment, planning, and structure — and work with your existing finance and accounting support.

Need senior finance, not a full-time hire?

Tell us the decisions ahead. We'll bring the CFO judgment to get them right — and the Capital arm when it's deal time.
