Seven core offerings and five fixed-scope packages. Delivered fractionally, as a defined project, or as ongoing advisory, across the United States, East Africa and Southern Africa, and increasingly in Latin America.
Most finance teams are not short of data. They are short of hours, because too many of those hours go into moving numbers from one place to another. We rebuild the finance and operations workflow around AI so the machine does the matching, the flagging and the first draft, and your people do the judgement.
This is not a technology pilot that lives in a slide deck. We assess the current state, quantify where the hours actually go, build the automation roadmap with an ROI attached, and then build one or two workflows live so you can see the time come back before you commit to the rest.
The experience behind it is operational, not theoretical: we automated reconciliation of more than $1B a year in transactions and created 500% scaling capacity in a business that had run out of headroom.
Rounds are rarely lost on the pitch. They are lost in diligence, when a model does not tie out, a cap table has a surprise in it, or a founder cannot defend the assumption behind the hockey stick. We find those things before an investor does.
We benchmark you against what institutional investors actually expect, give you a ranked and owner-assigned fix list, then build the raise package: investor-grade three-statement model, narrative, deck, and a data room that answers questions before they are asked. And then we run the process with you: investor targeting, first meetings, follow-up diligence, term-sheet negotiation support and close.
Across our history we have raised $40M+ in equity across 20+ campaigns, for companies from pre-seed through public markets, and on both sides of the emerging-market capital divide.
The CFO seat, filled properly, for the portion of the month your company actually needs it. We own the finance function: the close, the forecast, the cash, the board pack, the capital plan and the relationships that go with them. Typically two to four days a month for a fractional seat, full-time for an interim, and across a whole portfolio for funds and accelerators.
Fast-growing companies outgrow their accounting long before anyone notices. Then a raise, an audit or an acquirer arrives and the gap becomes urgent and expensive. We clean up what is behind you and rebuild what is ahead of you, including the system it all runs on.
We have rebuilt a stalled $10M ERP implementation and stood up finance, HR and compliance functions from scratch, so we come to system selection with a healthy scepticism about what implementations actually cost.
Cross-border growth fails for unglamorous reasons: the entity structure was wrong, the banking took four months, the local books never reconciled to the group, or the investor could not get comfortable with a jurisdiction they did not understand. We have been on both ends of that bridge for eighteen years.
For U.S. and international companies entering Africa or Latin America, and for African and Latin American companies raising from or entering the United States, we handle the structure, the compliance and the translation, commercial and cultural.
A CFO who only looks backwards is an expensive historian. The most valuable finance work in a growth company is usually forward-facing and commercial: what to price, what to package, what to launch, what to stop, and what any of it is actually worth.
Sometimes the question is not "what is our margin" but "why is our margin not what it should be, and who knew." This work is discreet and evidence-led, and it is structured so the findings hold up in front of a board, an investor or an acquirer. Where a matter needs formal legal or expert-witness support, we work alongside counsel rather than in place of them.
Fixed-scope engagements with a defined deliverable and a clear timeline. Useful when you want a specific thing solved without opening an open-ended relationship, and a sensible way to work together for the first time.

Best for: teams losing hours to manual close, reconciliation, or AR and AP.
You receive: an automation roadmap plus working automations with measured time savings.
We do not publish rates, for a simple reason: a four-week readiness review and an embedded CFO seat through a Series A are not remotely the same commitment, and quoting a number before we understand your business would be guesswork dressed up as transparency.
What we do commit to is this. Scope, deliverables, timeline and fees are agreed in writing before any work begins. Fixed-scope packages are quoted as a fixed fee. Fractional seats are quoted as a monthly retainer against an agreed number of days. There are no hourly surprises, and there is no charge for the first consultation.
Engagement economics are calibrated to the market you operate in. We work with growth companies across East Africa and Southern Africa as well as the United States, and we structure engagements so that senior finance leadership is genuinely reachable in each.
Get a scoped proposal, start with a free hour
Fixed-scope packages usually begin within one to two weeks of agreeing scope. Fractional seats depend on current capacity: we deliberately hold a small number of engagements at a time so that each one gets a real CFO rather than a name on a proposal.
No. We sit above them. Your bookkeeper records what happened, your accountant files it, we tell you what it means and what to do next. Where the bookkeeping is not strong enough to build on, we will say so and help you fix it.
Almost certainly. We work across NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, Xero, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle and Deltek, with Power BI, Tableau and Metabase for reporting. We are vendor-neutral: we would rather make your current stack work than sell you a migration you do not need.
That is the normal case, and it is exactly what the free hour is for. Most founders arrive describing a reporting problem and leave understanding it is a systems problem, or the reverse.
That's normal, and it's exactly what the first hour is for.
