About

Meet our Founders

Our Founders qualified as accountants at Deloitte and then spent 20+ years each investing, managing and raising capital for small and growth companies in the UK and Europe.

​

We have deep & direct experience on both sides of the table: as CEO & CFO of startups that have been through successful fundraises as well as investors helping companies grow. 

 

We know how a finance function can help with the success of a company, and we are able to source Fractional CFOs from our panel and network with the skill set and experience to help make your company a success.

A Fractional CFO can help unleash your potential.

Dear Startup Founder - 

​

You wear many hats and have a million things on your plate. It can be tough to balance the demands of turning a startup into a scale-up: optimising product-market fit and recruiting to accelerate growth, while staying on top of the increasing demands of managing finances.

​

With 10 years experience as a CEO founder (including 4 equity funding rounds - 2 seed rounds and 2 VC rounds), as well as 10 years as a Venture Capital and Private equity investor (investing £100M+ across multiple companies) - I understand what you need to support you and your business. I've seen it from both sides of the table and have seen success and failure.

 

I created Growth CFO to work with founders just like you to implement fit-for-purpose financial processes and teams, providing you with the financial guidance and strategic planning needed to help your company succeed.

 

I quickly discovered there were more companies that could benefit from Fractional CFOs than I could service myself. So, we invited other experienced CFOs to join our panel of consultants, to provide support and insight to as many growth companies as possible. 

​

By partnering with a fractional CFO, you'll have access to the expertise and resources of a C-level executive without the full-time commitment and cost. This allows you to focus on what you do best - running your business and bringing your vision to life.

 

With a fractional CFO on your team, you'll benefit from:

  • fit-for-scaling finance function: processes, team and organisational rhythm

  • Customised financial planning and budgeting to support your goals

  • Regular financial reporting and analysis to help you make informed decisions

  • Strategic planning and guidance to maximise growth and investability

  • Support with fundraising, including cap table management, pitch decks and investor relations

  • Advice on scaling and expanding your business

​

Don't let the challenges of mundane statutory accounting and financial management hold you back from reaching your full potential. 

 

Arrange an initial discussion to explore your needs and how a Fractional CFO can help take your company forward.

​

We look forward to hearing from you - 

​

Steve

Co- Founder, Growth CFO
