    Fractional CFO Services for fashion, footwear, beauty & ecommerce brands Helping founders maximise cash flow, profits & dividends, whilst creating visibility & reducing anxiety • CFO & Exec Advisory Services for Founders • Forecasting, Projections & Goal Setting • Cash Flow Forecasting & Planning • Margin/Channel Analysis & Improvements Experienced advisor to omni-channel brands, including D2C ecommerce, retail stores, wholesale & marketplaces. Have you got ambitious growth plans for your fashion, footwear or beauty brand? Do you know how much extra cash you'll need to invest in inventory and ad spend to hit them? Do you know when your brand needs external financing or investment to continue hitting those targets? How does that cash run rate change if you need to hire a key role or outsource to a 3rd party distribution warehouse? Do you sleep soundly knowing that your business can cover your operating expenses next quarter? Growing a brand isn’t easy. You need to balance creativity, quality, and customer demand, while managing your costs, inventory and cash flow. However you don’t have the time to gain mastery in every area of the business. How do founders achieve this balance without sacrificing either creative vision or profits? • They lack the financial expertise to create systems and processes that lead to profits and cash flow. • The only financial support they receive are historic numbers from their accountant and bookkeeper, which doesn't help with strategic decision making. • They do not have the budget for a full time CFO with experience in these sales & marketing channels and funding challenges. Major CFO Consulting was created to provide this very solution, through Fractional CFO Services for ambitious, growth focused, fashion, footwear & beauty brands between £1m-£15m revenue. As a former CFO/FD who has spent almost 2 decades working in fashion, luxury and consumer brands, I understand your priorities, your sales and marketing channels and funding challenges, so I speak your language and communicate in a way that you as a founder understand. Benefits you can expect from working with me: • You will have a clear and accurate picture of your current financial situation and future projections, so you can make informed and confident decisions. • You will have a strategic partner who understands your industry, your challenges, and your goals, and who can advise you on the best course of action for your business. • You will have more time and energy to focus on what you do best: creating amazing products and delighting your customers. Want to leverage some of what I know to increase your profits, solve cash flow issues, and develop a long-term forecast to start planning confidently for ambitious growth?

    I am an expert in all things financial, with several advanced degrees that involve Economics, Finance, Business Law and Management. My current path is leading to post-doctoral work in Non-Profit Management with a concentration on the sustainability of funding/ fund development. If you need Grant Writing, I am able to concisely and with passion convey your message, with financials, if that is needed; that will allow any potential grant committee to put your Grant request at the top of their A list. Able to meet short deadlines with ease. Have worked for years in the Not for Profit sector, helping to generate both large and small scale fundraising and grant writing successful results. Are you starting your first business, need help with grants or fundraising, or just need that extra bit of mentoring to help with a special project? Not sure whom to turn to for answers, with what needs to be done and in what order? Those urgent questions about crowdfunding, grants, general fundraising, need to be answered by an expert. I have over 20 years of experience as a business consultant, grant writer., fundraiser for all types and sizes of Not for Profits. My comprehensive services are tailored to the business needs of both the for-profit and Not for Profit sector. I offer highly individualized service, provide in-depth consulting so that you understand the how's and why's of business, grants and other kinds of funding for all types and sizes of businesses. Specializing in nonprofit start-up and development, small business development, grant writing particularly federal and highly complex grants, including Real Estate acquisition and housing development. Please be advised that for all under two calendar-year-old non-profits, I must be provided in writing the detailed visions on the organizational and programming needs, the financials already in place, and what your expectations are for me as your paid consultant. Many foundations, corporations, and other funding sources are requiring in-depth current real-time financials that often include: IRS 990 forms and audited financials. For most newly forming non-profits these forms are not in existence. It has been my experience that most newly forming nonprofits underestimate the time and financial resources it will take to cultivate and build credible relationships with all types of funding entities and how unstable this time of funding can be in the long term. Also, and this is equally important, it has been my experience that some newly forming non-profits do not have credible financials - or have, in fact, not created any kind of budget to propel the organization forward. I can, of course, assist in developing budgets, but this does take time and discussion. I am a very methodical working...working carefully and consistently in providing superlative products. And my service is next to none: I believe in the power of partnership, collaboration, and open lines of communication. If this is for you...then we should talk! If you, however, want someone "to go it alone" as some clients prefer, then I am not the one for you! My consulting/grant writing services are comprehensive, individualized, personalized and exemplary. I love what I do, and my work reflects this passion and dedication I bring to all the work I do. My for-profit clients get all the same passion and dedication to giving you an effective and targeted result to your needs.

Let me help you find your mojo! I am a Top Rated Plus Business Coach on Upwork with 100% satisfaction score, contact me today! ⚡︎I can help you if you are struggling with these challenges: ● "I have no idea on how to get started with my startup" ● "Life has been chaotic and I need to get clear on my direction " ● "I don't have the energy or motivation right now to grow my business" ● "I want to get to the next level and I am not sure how to get there" ● "I'm starting a new chapter in my life and I need someone to hold me accountable" ● "HELP! I'm overwhelmed and I don't know what to do next" I focus on working with entrepreneurs with startups or small businesses. The process: Who are you? You are the main factor in your success. Why should your business exist? A purpose. How do you do things? Something that makes you unique. What do you offer? Your product or service. All success revolves around the answers to these four questions. All failure comes from a lack of understanding these questions. This is my method. It does not matter if you are a startup or an existing business, this is the core of your work and journey. A client had dozens of business ideas, I helped him launch just one. A client stopped chasing 3 different startups and now is an executive in a new business. One client grew from 5 to 50 employees in just two years. Let's get on a call today!

    If you are a startup or early-stage founder with a compelling business opportunity but under-capitalized and want to seek funding options, let's talk. I understand, very specifically, what institutional investors want to see to consider your opportunity. Or, as well-known Venture Capitalist Marc Andreesen once said, "The difference between a vision and a hallucination is others will see your vision". I have 20+ years experience in capital markets, both as a founder and working with other founders in successful funding events exceeding $ 450 million. The plan that drives a cap raise begins with a cogent, well-organized, and executable roadmap. Where you are today? How will a capital infusion from an outsider willing to take on the risk allow you to get to the next level? Here is how I start: - Funding readiness: Are you operationally ready? If you're ready, I will tell you. If you’re close but not quite there, I’ll tell you. If you have a lot of work to do before investors will consider you, I'll tell you where the gaps are and let you decide what comes next. - Investor Book: If you're (close to) investor-ready, it's time to build a strong Investor book, guided by your industry and what portfolio investors in your space want to see. - Investor Targets: Investor book is underway. In tandem with, we begin investor due diligence to build a targeted investor list. We look for connections and referrals to partners, analysts, or anyone who can open doors to the target investor. Many believe this is a quick & easy process. You need to know the investors you'll be pitching as if you've worked with them before. If what I've shared makes sense, let's connect, either by direct message or you may invite me to a job you posted on the platform. We can briefly discuss your goals and how I can be of material value if there's a fit. To your success, Mike
