I clean up and run the finances for founder led businesses with complicated or multi company books. If your numbers are behind, spread across several companies, or you simply never feel sure what you have and what you owe, that is exactly what I fix. You get clean, accurate books and one clear picture of your money, by company and overall, without spending your own time on it. Last month I cleared a 19 month reconciliation backlog and corrected €10M in phantom entries. 5.0★ from the CEO. But clean books are the minimum. What he kept me for was performance driven finance: I priced his two government tenders including the winning final bid, built the cash flow forecast he ran the business on, and connected finance KPIs to sales and marketing performance. I am a senior finance leader with over 20 years in the field, and my work follows one arc: I take a business from numbers you cannot trust to a finance function that drives real decisions. That means winning the deals in front of you, then building the dashboard that shows you where to grow. Where I create the most value: Fractional CFO / Finance Manager. Ongoing monthly close, Board ready reporting, and KPIs linked to revenue so finance speaks the same language as sales and marketing. Pricing and tender strategy that wins revenue. I sit with founders and sales teams to build pricing that wins business and protects margin. On a recent tender for a Dublin client, the team could not make sense of a complex deal model. I pulled it apart, reverse engineered the competitor benchmarks, and built three pricing scenarios with full margin analysis. My recommended base case was accepted and went in as the final bid. I do the same on government and corporate tenders, including dual currency bills of quantity with commercial buffer built in. Turning your business into profit and cost centres This is where finance starts earning its keep. I restructure your accounts so you can finally see which products, departments, or services actually make money and which quietly drain it. I build the KPIs that mean something and a dashboard a founder can steer by, not just a report that records history. Most founders have never seen their own business this clearly. Cash flow forecasting founders actually use I build forecasts leaders lean on for real decisions. For a recent client I built a cash flow forecast that played out almost exactly as projected, which the CEO told me he relied on through a tight period. Books cleanup and reconstruction, the foundation underneath all of it. Nothing built on bad data survives. For a Dublin client I reconstructed 19 months of accounts across four payment platforms and a bank, found and corrected over 10 million euros in erroneous journal entries, and rebuilt the chart of accounts so the numbers could finally be trusted. I work fractionally to start so we can move fast and you can see the value before committing to anything bigger. If you find you need someone embedded for the longer haul, that is a conversation I am always open to and happy to have with you. .If your numbers are not telling you the truth, or they are clean but not yet driving your decisions, let us talk.
