Who this is for

CFO-level thinking, at SME budget

Most growing UAE businesses hit a point where bookkeeping and compliance aren't enough — they need someone reading the numbers strategically. A full-time CFO hire is expensive; a fractional one gets you there faster.

Cash discipline

Cash flow & working capital

Rolling forecasts and working capital analysis so you see a cash crunch months before it happens, not the week it does.

Growth capital

Fundraising & investor readiness

Financial models, data rooms, and investor decks built to withstand due diligence, plus support through the raise itself.

Governance

Board & shareholder reporting

Monthly management accounts and KPI packs pitched at board level, not just a copy of the trial balance.

What you receive

A CFO function, delivered on a schedule

Structured outputs your leadership team can actually act on, not a generic advisory retainer.

When to bring one in

Signals it's time for CFO-level support

A fractional CFO tends to pay for itself well before a business is ready for a full-time hire.

  • You can't answer "how much cash do we have in 90 days?" with confidence
  • You're raising a funding round or negotiating bank financing
  • Margins are shifting and no one can explain exactly why
  • Your board or investors are asking for reporting you don't have
