How it works
What happens after you reach out.
01
Share your situation
A call or WhatsApp message is enough to start — no long form to fill in first.
02
We scope and quote
A senior advisor reviews what you need and gives you a fixed fee, upfront, before any work begins.
03
A named professional handles it
Your engagement is run by a specific CA, CS, or Advocate — not a rotating queue.
04
You review before anything is filed
Nothing goes to a regulator, bank, or counterparty without your sign-off first.

What's the difference between a Virtual CFO and an accountant?
An accountant tells you what already happened. A Virtual CFO tells you what's coming — cash runway, board-ready numbers, and where the next fundraise or spending decision should go. We do both, but the CFO role sits above day-to-day bookkeeping.
How much cheaper is a Virtual CFO than hiring one full-time?
A full-time CFO at a growth-stage company is typically a senior six-figure-plus annual cost. A Virtual CFO retainer gives you the same calibre of financial leadership on a monthly fee, scaled to the hours your business actually needs.
Do you help with fundraising, or just financial reporting?
Both. Financial modelling, investor decks, data-room preparation, and term-sheet review sit inside the retainer alongside monthly reporting and cash-flow forecasting.
What size of company is this suited for?
Founders and growth-stage businesses that have outgrown a bookkeeper but aren't ready for — or don't need — a full-time CFO, typically post-seed to Series B, or established businesses preparing for their first institutional round.
