Portfolio CFO for scale‑focused founders
I help founders create clarity, control, and a business that can scale.
In the AI era, founders are making more decisions, more rapidly, with more risk. I operate across the whole business — the only person outside the CEO with full visibility, accountability and the vantage point to use AI safely and effectively.
Most growing SMEs hit the same wall:
-
The CEO is across everything and stretched too thin
-
The numbers don’t match the story
-
Cashflow feels unpredictable
-
Teams are busy but not aligned
-
Growth exposes operational gaps
-
The business is too big for a finance manager, but not ready for a full‑time CFO
And now, AI is increasing the volume of information faster than founders can validate it — creating more decisions, more rapidly, with more risk.
If this sounds familiar, you don’t need more reports.
You need someone who can help you run the business.
What founders struggle with
I’m not a virtual CFO or a consultant.
I’m a Portfolio CFO with operating depth — part CFO, part COO, part strategic partner. In the AI era, founders need someone who can interpret and validate AI‑accelerated information across the whole business and turn it into decisions they can trust.
I bring:
-
CFO‑level financial clarity
-
COO‑level operating rhythm
-
CEO‑level judgement
-
Multi‑entity and multi‑market experience
-
Governance maturity and investor‑grade discipline
-
Capital readiness — bank‑ready, investor‑ready and due‑diligence‑ready financial
I translate strategy → numbers → execution.
And I build the cadence that keeps the business moving.
What I do differently
Who I work with
Founders and CEOs of scale‑focused SMEs who want:
-
A business that runs cleanly
-
A leadership team aligned to targets
-
A model they can trust
-
A clear path to scale
-
A partner who can operate across finance, operations, people, and strategy
-
Support preparing for funding, capital or acquisition
Increasingly, these are founders navigating AI‑accelerated growth, complexity and decision‑making — and needing someone beside them who sees across the whole business.
Typically $5m–$100m revenue, multi‑entity, or preparing for growth, capital, or exit.
What changes when we work together
You get:
-
A clear operating rhythm
-
A model that tells the truth
-
Metrics that drive behaviour
-
Teams aligned to targets
-
Governance that reduces risk
-
A CEO freed from the weeds
-
A business that can scale without chaos
AI‑accelerated information becomes decision‑ready information — and the business moves from reactive to predictable.
This is the work that transforms a founder‑led business into a scale‑ready organisation.
What founders say
This is the impact of a Portfolio CFO who integrates AI safely across finance, operations, strategy and capital — turning AI‑accelerated information into decisions founders can trust.
