About Sophia

Analytical depth meets appreciative interpersonal skills.

Hi, I'm Sophia. As an experienced finance expert (e.g., clearx and OUTFITTERY), I support startups and scale-ups in building their finances from the ground up in a scalable way. I love numbers, but also the people behind them.

My Focus Areas:

  • FP&A & Reporting: Setting up budgeting, forecasting, and management dashboards (Metabase, PowerBI) for data-driven decisions.
  • Processes & Scaling: Establishing sustainable finance structures and automating workflows that keep pace with your growth.
  • Interim & Team Lead: Operational support and technical leadership in building your finance teams.

My Approach:


I stand for direct, peer-to-peer communication. My goal is to translate complex data into clear strategies and set up processes that work long-term. With a Master's in Finance (grade 1.5), I bring the necessary expertise to fully leverage your potential.
