Strategic advice and financial management
Your part-time
financial leadership.
Powered by data.
For SME and startup leaders (€500K to €10M in revenue) who want to stop steering by gut feel. Part-time financial leadership, immediately operational. Three modular tiers. Up to 95% of tasks automated, around 20 hours saved per month on the finance function. On-site, remote or hybrid.
Finance isn’t a constraint.
It’s decision-making power.
For many SME leaders, the finance function remains a source of stress, fog and mental load. Often pushed to the back burner due to lack of bandwidth, until reality catches up: cash crunches, profitability slipping, decisions made by gut feel. The fog becomes real risk. Our mission: turn your finance into a steering and anticipation lever.
Better decisions
We leverage your financial and operational data to produce analyses that give a clear view on performance and risks, aligned with your long-term strategy.
Outside perspective
You’re no longer alone. An impartial view on structuring choices, and support to communicate with your financial partners (banks, investors, accountants).
Time saved
Automated real-time reporting. Up to 95% of repetitive tasks handled by the stack and AI. Around 20 hours saved per month. No more hours lost on Excel.
Optimal cost
Flexibility of part-time vs a full-time hire at €120-180K fully-loaded. Senior expertise on a controlled budget, scalable to your peaks and phases.
The right time depends on your stage.
The finance function is time-consuming and the workload grows with the company. At each stage, a part-time CFO’s role evolves. Not every company has access to an experienced CFO permanently: an outsourced profile gives sharp expertise on a controlled budget, while staying flexible.
The lifeblood: cash.
At this stage, treasury optimization comes first. Securing your runway, prioritizing spend, anticipating working capital peaks.
- 13-week cash forecast
- Investment prioritization
- First modeled business plan

The finance function expands.
Analytical accounting, financing search, hiring administration, new finance organization. The part-time CFO takes on broader scope.

Your questions.
An outsourced CFO (or part-time finance director) is an experienced finance leader who runs your company’s finance function a few days per month, without a full-time employment contract. They take on treasury, reporting, business plan, financing and strategic steering — flexibly on volume.
An outsourced CFO works part-time across several companies. You access a senior profile at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire (€120-180K fully-loaded). Up and running in 2 weeks vs 3 to 6 months of recruitment. Data and AI stack already operational. No long-term commitment.
Three key moments. At early stage: secure cash, the lifeblood, and structure simple tracking. In growth: the finance function expands (analytical accounting, financing search, hiring, finance organization). In scale-up: prepare a Series A/B round and structure an internal finance team. If you’re making decisions by gut feel because you don’t have clear visibility, that’s probably the right time.
A good outsourced CFO combines several skills: accounting and operational expertise (to work with your accountant and optimize financial statements), sector understanding, mastery of modern tools (Pennylane, Qonto, Stripe…) and the ability to automate what can be automated. Fundraising expertise (dilutive and non-dilutive) is a real plus. The CFO 2.0 is connected, multi-tasking, and handles financing needs.
No. The CFO works with your accountant, not instead of them. They make sure documents are submitted on time and that financial statements are optimized. The CFO focuses on strategic steering (cash, KPIs, business plan, fundraising, investor reporting), where the accountant produces regulatory and tax accounting.
Tier 1: one-time 2-week assignment (diagnostic and action plan). Tier 2: 2 to 4 days per month (recurring). Tier 3: 5 to 10 days per month (full finance outsourcing). We adapt to your activity peaks (closings, fundraises, due diligence).
Both. Depending on your need and location, I can come on-site once or several times per week, or work remotely with regular steering points. Most assignments are hybrid.
