Deployed Finance

Fractional CFO services

The finance function your board expects, before you can afford one.

We embed with early-stage teams to build the models, controls, and reporting that turn a runway spreadsheet into a real financial operation. Senior judgment, a few days a month.


Services

What we cover

Engagements are scoped to what you actually need this quarter — not a fixed retainer of things you don't.

Planning

Financial modeling

Driver-based models you can defend line by line, with scenarios for hiring, pricing, and burn.

Capital

Fundraising & M&A support

Data rooms, diligence responses, pro forma cap tables, and the numbers behind the deck. We sit in the room when it matters.

Governance

Board reporting

A monthly package your investors read: KPIs, variance to plan, and a clear story about cash.

Operations

Cash & runway

Thirteen-week cash forecasting, collections discipline, and early warning before it's a problem.

Controls

Accounting oversight

We can either manage your accounting team or bring in our own — cleaning the close and getting you audit-ready either way.

Structure

Systems & process

Implementation of the right stack for your stage.


Approach

Three phases, no long ramp

01 — Week one

Diagnostic

We review your books, model, and cap table, then tell you plainly where the risk sits and what to fix first.

02 — Weeks two to six

Build

Rebuild the model, close the gaps with accounting, and stand up reporting.

03 — Ongoing

Operate

Monthly cadence: close review, forecast update, board package. We step up for raises and step back after.


Who it's for

A good fit looks like this

  • Pre-seed through Series B, with or without revenue
  • Raising or expecting M&A in the next 12 months
  • A founder currently doing finance at midnight
  • A bookkeeper in place, but nobody owning the numbers
  • Board asking questions the spreadsheet can't answer
