One Person to Own Finance.
Without Hiring One Yet.
For founder-led companies, venture-backed startups, and operators who don't yet have a dedicated finance team. Head of Finance, VP Finance, Finance Lead, Finance Chief — whatever you call the top finance seat, we cover it. Fractional or interim, depending on what you need.
When You Need a Finance Leader but Not a Finance Department
The title varies. The scope is the same — a single accountable owner for the whole finance function.
You're a Founder and the Books Are on You
You're running product, sales, and hiring. You're also the one pulling numbers for the board, chasing receivables, and deciding whether the burn is sustainable. You can't be the Head of Finance forever.
You're Post-Seed and the Investors Want Better Reporting
Your lead investor is asking for monthly dashboards, cohort data, and a real forecast. The bookkeeper isn't equipped for it. You're not ready to hire a full-time CFO. This is the gap we fill.
You're Mid-Market and Finance Has Always Been Outsourced
Your CPA does the books, a controller does the close, a planner does the forecast — and nobody owns the function as a whole. You need one person accountable for the whole thing.
You're Pre-Series A or Pre-Exit
You're six months from a raise or a sale. You need a credible finance leader in the data room and on investor calls. Bringing in a Head of Finance now — fractional or interim — beats showing up to diligence with a bookkeeper.
You Inherited a Finance Mess
You're a new CEO, a new PE sponsor, or a new operator. The previous regime left finance in rough shape. You need someone to come in, assess the damage, stabilize the function, and build the path forward.
You're a Solo or Small-Team Operator
You don't have a CFO, Controller, and Finance Director. You have you, maybe a bookkeeper, and a spreadsheet. A Head of Finance role consolidates everything into a single seat that actually makes decisions.
End-to-End Finance Ownership
One seat, one owner, whole function. The operational and strategic work combined until the company is big enough to split them.
Close & Statements
Monthly close, GAAP statements, management reporting. Bookkeeper oversight or direct ownership at the smallest stage.
Planning & Forecasting
Annual budget. 13-week cash flow. Scenario planning. Runway analysis. The forward-looking work founders can't do alone.
Investor & Board Relations
Board decks, investor updates, due diligence responses, fundraise prep. The polish that gets deals done.
Systems & Infrastructure
Accounting stack, planning tools, reporting dashboards. Building the foundation so the function scales without adding headcount every year.
Fractional, Interim, or Fast-Start
Fractional Head of Finance
10–20 hours per week, ongoing
Permanent finance leadership at part-time hours. The single owner of finance for companies that aren't ready for a full-time leader but need someone accountable. Most startup and lower mid-market companies start here.
Interim Head of Finance
Full-time, 3–6 months
You need someone running finance full-time right now — a leader just left, you're entering a raise, you're in diligence. We embed full-time, cover the seat, and hand off to a permanent hire when the moment calls for it. More on interim engagements.
Fast-Start Build
6–12 week project
For companies standing up a real finance function for the first time. We build the accounting stack, the reporting package, the forecasting model, and the month-end process — then hand off to your bookkeeper or incoming finance hire with documentation.
