Fractional CFO for start-up & scale-up tech companies | Speaker | Top 50 Women in Accounting 2021 | Think of me as the Google Maps for fast growth businesses

After working with lots of different businesses over my 20+ career in finance, I’ve realised that I get the most satisfaction (and therefore do my best work) when I’m partnering with people who have a clear vision of what they want to achieve and understand that they need support to get them there.

My ultimate goal is to positively impact business through my work, always with an eye on how I can impact the wider community.

I love working with entrepreneurs who are a mix of ambition and a sense of purpose.

This was the motivation behind Fractional Finance, which I launched in 2023, as Founder/CEO.

💰We focus on the finances so you can lead the business
⌚We know you need your time back. We're the ones who can make it happen
🤝🏻We work with you, not for you. We're looking for powerful synergy, not a task list

WHAT DO WE DO?

The roadmap to excellence starts with the basics.

We start with:

• THE CORE OF YOUR FINANCES: solid records, regular bookkeeping, management accounts that give you the data you need to help you run your business better

Then we build:

 • STRATEGY & FORECASTING: Building on your existing plans and developing financial forecasts and KPIs to track progress
• LEADERSHIP: Becoming a key member of the Board/SLT, being on hand to give advice/a different perspective when making decisions
• RISK MANAGEMENT: Identifying and tracking risks in a way that drives REAL action
• FUNDRAISING & EXIT: If you're planning for investment or an exit, we will assess how ready you are, and then support you before, during and after the transaction

Hiring too early is one of the most expensive mistakes a founder can make.

Not because people aren’t worth it, they are.
But because the timing and fit matter more than the hire itself.

If you don’t yet know what you need, a full-time role can lock you into cost and complexity before clarity.

That’s where fractional support shines.
It helps you figure out what the business really needs, while keeping things flexible and fast-moving.

That’s one of the key themes behind The Fractional Revolution, our upcoming whitepaper on how founders are scaling smarter.

We’re collecting insights from founders, leaders, and fractional experts, and your perspective would really add to the picture.

Scaling isn’t about headcount - it’s about momentum
