Start-Up Funding

Most people see financial statements as a dry requirement for compliance. I see them as a roadmap to your next multi-million-pound funding round.

My obsession with the language of business began in 1992. While other 14-year-olds were playing video games, I was using my pocket money to buy stocks after meticulously analysing financial reports. That early passion evolved into a 25-year career spent in the trenches of high-growth finance, from auditing NAV reports for global pension giants to navigating the hustle and bustle of London’s start-up scene.

Today, I serve as a Strategic Fractional CFO for ambitious startups ready to scale. I don’t just do the books, I architect the financial infrastructure that makes your investors say “yes”.

 

Why Founders Partner with Me

Securing funding from Pre-Seed to Series C requires more than just a pitch deck. It requires a narrative backed by bulletproof data. I provide the high-level expertise of a full-time CFO at a fraction of the cost, specialising in:

  • Fundraising strategy; preparing you for the rigorous due diligence of VCs and sophisticated angels.
  • Scalable financial modelling; building the projections that prove your potential for 10x growth.
  • Cash flow mastery; navigating the valley of death to ensure you have the runway to reach your next milestone.
  • Strategic growth; acting as a true partner to founders, ensuring every financial decision aligns with your exit or expansion goals.

 

A Model Built on Skin in the Game

I believe a CFO should be as invested in your success as you are. That’s why my fee structure is designed to align our interests perfectly. I operate on a performance-based monthly retainer + commission model.

My philosophy is simple, my compensation is tied to the successful reaching of your targets, whether that is securing a fresh injection of capital or hitting specific income generation milestones. When you win, I win.

 

Ready to Scale?

If you are a founder looking for more than just an accountant, if you need a seasoned strategist who knows how to unlock capital and drive performance, let’s talk. I bring 25 years of instinct, technical mastery, and a relentless drive to see my clients succeed.

Let’s secure your future.
