Portfolio CFO for scale‑focused leaders
I help CEOs, managing directors and founders create clarity, control and a business that can grow without disorder.
In a world where information moves faster than leaders can validate it, decisions are being made more often and with greater consequences. I work across the entire business, giving you the visibility and judgement needed to use AI safely and make decisions you can rely on.
Most growing SMEs hit the same wall:
-
The CEO is across everything and stretched too thin
-
The numbers don’t match the story
-
Cashflow feels unpredictable
-
Teams are busy but not aligned
-
Growth exposes operational gaps
-
The business is too big for a finance manager, but not ready for a full‑time CFO
And now, AI is accelerating the volume of information faster than leaders can validate it creating more decisions, made more rapidly, with more risk.
If this sounds familiar, you don’t need more reports. You need someone who can help you run the business.
What leaders struggle with
I’m not a virtual CFO, fractional CFO, outsourced CFO or a consultant.
I’m a Portfolio CFO with operating depth. Part CFO, part COO, part strategic partner. In the AI era, leaders need someone who can interpret and validate AI‑accelerated information across the whole business and turn it into decisions they can trust.
I bring:
-
CFO‑level financial clarity
-
COO‑level operating rhythm
-
CEO‑level judgement
-
Multi‑entity and multi‑market experience
-
Governance maturity and investor‑grade discipline
-
Capital readiness, bank‑ready, investor‑ready and due‑diligence‑ready financials
I translate strategy → numbers → execution. I build the cadence that keeps the business moving.
What I do differently
Who I work with
CEOs, managing directors and founders of scale‑focused SMEs who want:
-
A business that runs cleanly
-
A leadership team aligned to clear targets
-
A model they can rely on
-
A path to scale that doesn’t create chaos
-
A partner who can work across finance, operations, people and strategy
-
Support to prepare for funding, capital or acquisition
Many of these leaders are now dealing with faster growth, more complexity and heavier decisions as AI increases the volume of information flowing through the business. They want someone beside them who can see the whole picture and help them move with confidence.
Most are in the $5m–$100m range, often multi‑entity, and preparing for growth, capital or exit.
What changes when we work together
You get:
-
A clear operating rhythm
-
A model that reflects reality
-
Metrics that shape behaviour
-
Teams aligned to meaningful targets
-
•Governance that lowers risk
-
A CEO with space to lead
-
A business that grows without disorder
Information moves quickly in every business. When it is organised, tested and understood, it becomes the basis for confident decisions. That shift takes a company from reacting to events to anticipating them.
This is the work that turns a founder‑led business into an organisation ready to scale.

Ready to create clarity and scale?
If the business feels harder to run than it should, with more decisions, more noise and more pressure, it may be time to bring in someone who can see the whole business and help you move with confidence.
