Founder-led businesses making bigger decisions
You have moved beyond simply knowing what happened last month. Hiring, pricing, investment and growth decisions now need better financial analysis behind them.
Fractional CFO & Strategic Finance
Senior finance expertise, without committing to a full-time CFO.
Get clearer forecasts, stronger financial visibility and experienced input into the decisions that matter as your business grows.
From cash flow and planning to board reporting and fundraising, Syntax CFO gives you senior finance support at the level your business needs.
Who is Syntax CFO for?
Growing businesses without a senior finance lead
The business needs stronger planning and financial oversight, but there is not yet enough need to justify a full-time CFO or Finance Director.
Businesses preparing to raise or report to investors
You need forecasts, financial models and reporting that give investors, lenders or the board a clear view of the business and its plans.
Businesses that need a clearer view of what comes next
Revenue may be growing, but cash, margins, runway or future performance are harder to see clearly. You need finance to become more forward-looking.

Ways to work
Start with the level of support you need
You can start with a focused review or project, without committing to ongoing CFO support.
Focused Finance Review
A defined piece of work around a particular financial question, such as reviewing a forecast or model, analysing cash flow and runway, or assessing the financial implications of a major decision.
Discuss a Focused Project →Strategic Finance Project
More substantial support where the business needs something built or improved, such as a new financial model, forecasting process, fundraising preparation or broader planning exercise.

Senior finance support without unnecessary overhead
Better information for better decisions
Finance should help you decide what to do next, not simply report what has already happened.

Access experienced financial leadership without building a full-time CFO role before the business needs one.
Less finance burden on the leadership team
Bring more structure to forecasting, reporting and financial decision-making so founders and management are not carrying everything themselves.
