Senior finance,

What an outsourced CFO does

An outsourced CFO is a senior, partner-grade finance professional engaged on a fractional basis — typically 1–4 days per month. Not a bookkeeper, not a controller, but a genuine CFO providing strategic finance leadership.

For businesses that aren't yet at the scale (or stage) to justify a full-time CFO — but where the absence of one is starting to hurt — this is the bridge.

Where an outsourced CFO adds value

• 13-week cash flow forecasting — rolling cash visibility that's actually accurate
• Annual budget and quarterly reforecast — properly built bottom-up, not last year's plus 5%
• Fundraising support — investor decks, financial models, due diligence preparation, term-sheet review
• Banking relationships — facility renewals, covenant negotiation, working capital optimisation
• Strategic decisions — pricing changes, new product launches, geographic expansion, M&A targets
• Board reporting and shareholder communication — proper investor-grade reporting
• Finance team build-out — when you're ready to hire in-house, we help structure the team and recruit

Typical engagement

1–4 days per month, on a 12-month retainer. Direct involvement of a senior partner. Board attendance where useful. Defined deliverables each month with a clear scope. Phase-out plan when you're ready to hire full-time.
