Finance. Strategy. Leadership.
Finance. Strategy. Leadership.
I provide Fractional CFO services for all business sizes. Whether it is a financial, strategic or leadership challenge, I am passionate about solving problems and finding a path forward, particularly when a situation is complex or vulnerable.
My professional experience includes 24 years in Corporate Finance and Strategy (publicly traded) followed by 6 years working with SMEs and Startups across industries.
This unique combination of skills - achieving objectives in the political matrix of a corporate or in the hands-on day-to-day of a startup - allows me to rapidly add value to many situations.

Interim Management
I remain with one company to fulfil the CFO or other leadership role on an interim basis.
This allows me to provide guidance and leadership during periods of restructuring, bring comfort and clarity to the board of directors, or simply ensure continuity during resourcing gaps.

Fractional CFO
I provide 'enough' financial and strategic leadership before a company is ready for a full-time CFO.
This includes basic financial discipline and liquidity management, building financial processes and teams, strategising with management, identifying opportunities to restructure the P&L, and so on.
