Working together
A close working relationship.
A clear purpose.
You work directly with me. The engagement brings senior financial leadership into your business, with a practical rhythm and shared priorities.

How we begin
Understand the business.
Agree on the work.
Stay involved.
- 01
Start with the whole picture.
Your goals, business model, financial position and the realities facing your team. We identify the decisions that need attention and where the finance function can contribute more.
- 02
Set priorities and responsibilities.
We agree on the scope, the people involved and the way we will work together. The relationship may be ongoing CFO leadership or a focused engagement around a specific need.
- 03
Put the plan into practice.
I work with you and your team on the financial decisions, processes and systems that support the plan. We review progress and adjust as the business changes.
What you can expect
Direct. Engaged.
Close to the detail.
Will I be working with you personally?
Yes. I am the CFO you engage. We work directly together, with your existing team and any specialists the work requires.
Do I need to replace my finance team?
The starting point is understanding your team and what it needs. A fractional CFO can provide senior leadership, develop capability and improve the way the function supports the business.
Can an engagement focus on fundraising?
Yes. We can define a focused engagement around capital requirements, financial preparation and the fundraising process.
Where does LIRA Development fit?
It is the complementary development practice. When a finance or operating challenge needs custom software, agents or integrations, we can connect the financial thinking with the build.
