As a fractional CFO, I assist executives and management teams in structuring the finance function, improving profitability, and securing cash flow—without the cost of a full-time position. I combine strategic vision with execution capabilities to professionalize management and governance.

Scope of intervention:

Implementation of reliable monthly reporting (income statement, cash flow, balance sheet) and KPI dashboards

Budget construction, rolling forecast, and scenario planning (growth, stress test, turnaround)

Cash flow and working capital management (runway visibility, liquidity plan, collections/payments, inventory)

Improvement of profit margins and cost structure (pricing, contribution analysis, productivity levers)

Strengthening of processes and governance (internal control, risks, management rituals)

As an Advisory Board Member, I support founders and executive teams on strategic decision-making, value creation, and financial governance. I bring a CFO/advisory mindset to help transform strategy into measurable performance and cash discipline.

Core contributions:

Challenge and refine corporate strategy, business model, and go-to-market priorities

Strengthen financial leadership: budgeting, forecasting, KPI dashboards, and performance review cadence

Improve cash and working capital management (runway visibility, BFR, liquidity planning)

Assess investment decisions and growth initiatives (ROI, pricing, margin, capex, partnerships)

Support funding readiness: equity/debt strategy, investor narrative, data room requirements, due diligence preparation

Reinforce governance: risk management, internal control principles, and decision-quality processes

My approach:

Structured, pragmatic, and independent—combining strategic clarity with operational execution and a strong focus on profitable growth.
