Better systems behind every number in your finance function..
Clean books, clear cash flow, and finance systems that scale before your team does. Whether we're your whole finance function or joining the one you have — accounting, budgeting, reporting, payroll and treasury, working as one connected system.
Where we can help
- Accounting - Clean books, tight processes, closed on time
- Budgeting - Forecasts and hiring scenarios you can actually plan against
- Reporting - Monthly packs and dashboards that explain the numbers
- Treasury - Cash, runway, payments, billing and approvals, always current
- Payroll - Your people paid, right and on time
- Strategy & Advisory - A fractional finance lead who connects the numbers to the decision
“The books are technically done… but the data is dead on arrival.”
We turn static records into live dashboards and a rolling forecast, so decisions about hiring, spending and funding are made on current numbers.
Signs your finance function is holding you back.
Manual bottleneck
Your finance process depends on founder memory, heroic effort, or one person's spreadsheet.
Audit anxiety
Your books are good enough for now, but they wouldn't survive an investor's scrutiny.
Complexity ceiling
The process that worked at your last stage is starting to break as revenue, headcount, or entities grow.

Entrepreneur by day, bookkeeper by night.
Hiring hesitation
You need to grow the team, but you don't yet trust the numbers behind the decision.
Misleading bank balances
Cash feels healthy after customer payments and scary before payroll - but there's no real runway view.

Start with a project, keep us on if you need us.
Every project follows the same five steps. The middle three build the foundation: one place for the information, shared views for the team, and a personal view for each person.
Discover
We map how the business runs today: the tools, the handoffs, the numbers and where information gets lost.
Centralise
Projects, clients, numbers and processes move into one source of truth, each with an owner.
Collaborate
Shared views and a weekly rhythm, built around the meetings your team already holds.
Personalise
Each person gets a view of their own work, so the system is used every day.
Hand over, or stay on
Training, a written guide and a named owner. Run it yourselves, or keep us on as your fractional lead.

Start with a project
A scoped build with a clear finish line. We map how things work today, build the foundation with your team, and train the people who'll own it.
Keep us on if you need us
At handover you can run it yourselves, or we stay on as your fractional CFO and lead the team day to day. That can be a day a week or a few hours a day, whatever the business needs.
Most of what we build lives in Notion, connected to the tools you already use. Our Notion work
Finance work we've delivered.
In our clients' words.
He helped us build a new cash flow model that gives us a clear daily cash position across a 12-month projection period. That model has been built into a wider cash flow forecast, allowing us to identify potential pinch points in advance and make much better strategic decisions as a leadership team.
So what about AI?
AI can only work with what it can find. Once your information is centralised and your processes are written down, it can summarise a project, turn a meeting into next actions with owners, or draft a client report from live data. Without that foundation, it gives confident answers from incomplete information.
So we build the foundation first, then put AI to work on it. For one agency client, a bi-weekly client report now takes about four minutes to generate.
