The problem

Sound familiar?

  • Customers pay late, and chasing them falls to you.
  • You see a cash gap only when it arrives.
  • Spending decisions wait on the bank balance.
  • Your team records the numbers, but nobody owns the forecast.

None of this is a bookkeeping problem. It is a gap in finance leadership, and a part-time CFO closes it: cash comes off your desk and onto a weekly rhythm.

How we solve it

A CFO who has done this puts cash on a weekly rhythm

Cash gets stuck when nobody owns the forecast or the chasing. A part-time CFO takes both, inside the business, until the routine runs itself.

  1. First

    Build the 13-week forecast

    From your bank, receivables and commitments, updated every week with your team.

  2. Then

    Take over collections

    Who chases what and when, with terms tightened for the customers who pay late.

  3. Ongoing

    Report every month

    A monthly pack that shows where cash is going before it becomes a problem.

Senior, and done it before

Leaders from our curated collective of 400+ who have held the role and solved this problem before.

Inside your business, part-time

Half a day to three days a week, working with your team and owning the outcome. Not advice from outside.

No long commitment

Contracted business to business on one month’s notice. No visa, no permanent seat on the payroll, no end-of-service liability.

Built for owner-led UAE businesses with five or more people.

Before you brief us

Within weeks of the brief. Tell us the problem and we come back with leaders from the collective whose experience fits it.

An engagement is priced on time and scope, not on a salary. Our engagements typically run 30 to 60% less than a comparable full-time hire. There is no search fee.

Most engagements run half a day to three days a week, set to what the problem needs and reviewed as the business changes, contracted business to business with one month's notice either way.

Neither. The leader works inside the business, part-time, owns the outcome with your team and stays on to run it, without a visa, a permanent seat on the payroll or end-of-service liability.
