I've helped 300+ founders across North America, Europe, and MENA raise capital and build businesses that scale with strategies backed by real market data and financial discipline. My corporate background runs through investments, public and private equity, and financial advisory, including equity analysis on US and Canadian public markets and due diligence on startups for PE firms. For the past 5 years, I've been working with startups and SMBs on: - Business Strategy & Execution: from idea to business planing to eventually helping you launch - Financial Planning & Strategy: setting up financial architecture, to budgeting and planning, and eventually offering regular Fractional CFO services at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO). How I can help: – Investor-Ready Documents & Data Room Preparation: I work with founders to create investor-ready business plans, pitch decks, market research, 3-5 year financial projections, dynamic financial models, and one-pagers. I prefer a consulting engagement where both me and the founder work together over a set period of time to prepare these deliverables (as opposed to a doc prep project). I've sat on the fundraising side enough times to know exactly what investors dig into when they see your numbers. – Financial Modeling: Whatever the decision calls for, operating and FP&A models, fundraise and scenario models, valuations and EBITDA normalization, LBOs and waterfalls, unit economics, cap tables. Built fully linked, auditable, and founder-readable, structured to hold when an investor stress-tests the assumptions rather than break the moment someone touches a cell. – Fractional CFO: Runway, unit economics, pricing strategy, board prep, equity and shareholder-loan design, financial control, budgeting, trackers, financial planning & analysis, policymaking etc. The ongoing finance judgment most early companies can't justify hiring full-time, with enough context on your business that the answer's ready before you ask. Startup Strategy Consultant: Whether you are bootstrapped or have secured early stage funding, and are looking for a strategy consultant with proven experience working with early stage founders to fine-tune your strategy, create an actionable roadmap, and take you from planning to launch, I'm here to help. WHY ME? - My background spans both sides of the table: venture capital and PE deal analysis, corporate internal audit, and hands-on fractional CFO work with growing businesses. - I advise two incubators in Canada and partner with a European venture firm, building the investor-ready documents they take to their portfolio's investors. - Master's in Finance from McGill, BSc from NYU. Send a model, a deck, a plan, or just describe what you're up against. I'll scope it same day.

🏦 35 Years CFO & JP Morgan Investment Banking Experience 🙌🏽 850+ Clients Helped — Startups to Established Businesses 💰 $150M+ in Funding Raised 🏆 3x Entrepreneur with a Successful Exit "𝙃𝙚𝙮 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖, 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨! 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪!!" - Jay Lax, CEO of Avalon ABA 📞 Invite me to your job, and I'm happy to share thoughts on your business. I've done this hundreds of times - you'll walk away with something useful regardless of whether you choose to work together. ☺️ 📞 Here’s how I help: ✅ Financial Clarity for Established Businesses: If you're running a business with real revenues but no CFO, I'll help you understand your numbers, find what's quietly eating your margins, and make better decisions - without the cost of a full-time hire. I work with businesses doing $1M–$10M in revenue who need CFO-level judgment without the CFO price tag. ✅ Getting You Investor-Ready: If you're raising a round, I'll build the Financial Model, Pitch Deck, and Business Plan you need to tell a compelling story and get funded. ✅ Models That Work Twice: The financial model I build will serve two needs at once - giving investors a thoughtful, comprehensive set of projections, and giving you a living document you can use to run your business more effectively. ✅ Ongoing Fractional CFO Support: If you want to keep working together beyond the initial engagement, I'll act as your Fractional CFO — helping you navigate financial decisions, build forecasts you can actually run the business from, and stay on top of cash before it becomes a problem. 📈 Fund & Investment Vehicles: LP/GP waterfall models, SPV structures, and feeder fund financial frameworks for private equity and family office clients. Why I’m worth talking to: ✅ I've done this hundreds of times before. 🔎 I'll understand your business model right away - you won't have to spend half the engagement explaining how it works. 🕵️‍♀️ I'll ask questions you probably haven't thought about. You may end up understanding your own business better just from our first conversation. 🚶🏽‍♀️ I've walked in your shoes as an entrepreneur multiple times. I know what it feels like to be running a business without a clear financial picture, and I know how to fix it. 📊 I work across the full spectrum of business - from pre-revenue startups raising their first round to established businesses doing $1M–$10M who need real CFO judgment without the full-time hire.

Fractional COO for founder-led businesses between £500k and £10m revenue. I build the operational infrastructure, decision governance, accountability structures, forecasting systems, that lets founders scale without being the bottleneck. I've done this across SaaS, e-commerce, financial services, digital agencies, and professional services. The presenting problems are always different. The structural ones rarely are: decisions bottleneck at the top, the team waits, delivery wobbles, and the founder is everywhere and nowhere. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 At a real estate SaaS company, I built a customer success function from scratch, redesigned onboarding, and installed upsell and reactivation workflows. Over 8 months: MRR grew from £42k to £71k, churn dropped from 4.8% to 2.7%, and NRR moved from 101% to 114%. At a 40-person financial education business, the founder was the operating system — every decision routed through him. I rebuilt decision rights and accountability structures so team leads owned their areas. Within 60 days, escalations dropped by more than half and he got his weekends back. At a US tax advisory firm, I built the sales operation from scratch, scripts, SDR structure, onboarding, CSM framework. Monthly sales went from $20k to $60k in six months. These aren't edge cases. This is what happens when operations catch up with ambition. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 I bring two things most fractional operators don't. The first is 11 years of ex-military service — including special ops — where the job was to assess fast, identify the real problem, and execute under pressure with limited margin for error. That discipline transfers directly into business operations, change management, and building teams that perform without being managed. The second is technical implementation capability. I don't just redesign your operations and hand you a plan. I build the systems, accountability dashboards, CRM architecture, AI-assisted workflows, automated reporting. You get a working operational infrastructure, not a strategy deck. I've managed a £750m programme portfolio at a global technology corporation. Delivered £300m in operational savings at a UK managed services business. Run GTM strategy for companies expanding into Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Stood up operations in environments where there were no systems at all. I know what scales and what doesn't. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 Fractional COO and Director of Operations engagements for businesses that need senior operational leadership without a full-time hire. Operational diagnostics for founders who know something's wrong but can't see where. Decision governance and accountability framework design. CRM build and sales pipeline architecture. Business process improvement and change management. Business mentoring for founders scaling from operator to leader. Chief of Staff and Head of Operations roles where senior judgment is needed, not just execution. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 Founders of businesses between £500k and £10m revenue, typically 10 to 50 people, where growth has outpaced the structure underneath it. Usually they're working harder than ever and getting less traction. The problem is almost never the market. It's the operating model. I'll tell you what's actually wrong — including if it's something uncomfortable. That's the job. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 Send me three things: what your business does and how big the team is, where growth has stalled or operations are breaking down, and whether you need ongoing operational leadership, a specific build, or a diagnostic first. I'll respond within 24 hours and tell you directly whether I can help and how I'd approach it.

I’m the Fractional Chief Operations Officer CEOs call when they’re running multiple companies and personal projects faster than their systems can keep up.

You’ve built a strong founder-led business — but growth is still running through you. I help scaling founders remove founder dependency, build operational capacity, and create the business architecture needed to grow without chaos. As a Fractional COO and Strategic Operations Partner, I work with founders whose business is already working — but the delivery, team, decisions, systems, and leadership rhythm have not yet caught up with the level of growth they’re trying to hold. Fractional COO | Strategic Operations Partner | Upwork Expert-Vetted | Top Rated | $200K+ Earned | 90%+ Job Success Most of my clients come to me when growth has started to expose the cracks behind the scenes. The business is making money. The clients are there. The opportunity is real. But the founder is still too involved in every decision, every delivery issue, every team question, every client escalation, and every moving part. That is founder dependency. And it is usually not solved by hiring another assistant, adding another tool, or writing another SOP. It requires stronger business architecture. I help founders build the operational capacity required to scale. Together, we may work on: • Founder dependency and bottleneck removal • Business architecture and operating model design • Team roles, decision rights, and accountability • Delivery systems, SOPs, and client experience • KPI dashboards and visibility systems • Pricing, packaging, retention, and margin improvement • Leadership rhythm, operating cadence, and calm CEO decision-making • Strategic priorities and execution systems for the next stage of growth This is not surface-level strategy. It is the work of making the business easier to run, easier to lead, and less dependent on the founder carrying everything. CLIENT RESULTS INCLUDE: • 10–15+ hours/week freed from day-to-day operations • Stronger execution without constant founder involvement • Clearer team ownership and decision-making • Improved margins through simpler, more effective systems • Increased revenue through better pricing, positioning, delivery, and operational clarity • A business that feels structured, calm, and back under control RECENT CLIENT WORK: • Helped a scaling mental health practice remove operational bottlenecks, improve decision-making, and prepare the business for acquisition • Supported a construction business through operational restructuring, KPI visibility, and a 28.6% revenue increase within 4 months • Partnered with a data analytics agency to strengthen sales, leadership, and scalable delivery foundations • Helped a creative agency move from reactive delivery into a clearer operating structure • Supported SaaS, consulting, agency, wellness, construction, community, and expert-led businesses through growth-stage complexity HOW I WORK: Assess We identify what is actually breaking under scale: founder dependency, delivery drag, team confusion, unclear decision rights, weak visibility, pricing strain, or operational complexity. Architect We design the business architecture: roles, responsibilities, rhythms, systems, priorities, KPIs, and decision flows. Align We create the leadership and execution structure needed for the founder and team to operate with more clarity and less reactivity. Accelerate We implement what matters most so the business becomes calmer, stronger, and more scalable. WHO THIS IS FOR: This is a strong fit if: • You are a founder, CEO, consultant, agency owner, or expert-led business owner • Your business is around $500K–$5M+ revenue • Growth is happening, but it still depends too heavily on you • You want strategic ownership, not task-based support • You need someone who can see the full business model, not just isolated operations • You are ready to build the structure for your next stage of scale This is not a fit if: • You are looking for a VA, OBM, admin support, or task-based project manager • You only want someone to “write SOPs” without addressing the business model underneath • You are very early-stage and still validating your offer • You want low-cost execution rather than strategic partnership • You want coaching without operational change ABOUT ME: I bring 20 years of experience across finance, strategy, operations, consulting, and founder advisory. I have built my own 7-figure consulting business, worked with founders and CEOs across multiple industries, and generated around $300K through Upwork while being recognised as Expert-Vetted / Top 1%. My strength is seeing the full system: business model, delivery, operations, leadership, decision flow, team capacity, pricing, and growth strategy — then simplifying it so performance becomes sustainable. If your business is growing but still depends too heavily on you, let’s start with a focused strategy conversation.

🏆 Top 1% Fractional CMO/CRO operating at board and C-suite altitude. ARR Impact $500M to $1.8B | 3,000+ Campaigns | $15M+/mo Ad Spend 🌎 MBA and ESADE Executive Master in Finance. 15+ years of global revenue leadership across PE/VC-backed and growth-stage companies. Most organizations I engage with have the same structural problem: campaigns are running, leads are flowing, and the pipeline is still flat. The issue is never top-of-funnel. It's the misalignment between marketing's definition of a qualified lead and sales' reality at the close, compounded by a CRM that reflects activity rather than truth, and a reporting layer that gives leadership false confidence in numbers nobody operationally trusts. I come in at the revenue engineering level, aligning demand generation through closed-won into a single operating model, establishing clear handoff accountability, and building the measurement infrastructure that connects spend to revenue outcome. The result is a pipeline that reflects commercial reality and a growth motion that can actually be scaled. My clients have seen CAC drop from $521 to $12, peak ROAS of 74.67x, and conversion lifts above 115%. Across 15+ years and $500M to $1.8B in aggregate ARR impact, I've led RevOps builds, GTM launches, and demand generation programs across PE/VC-backed and growth-stage SaaS and B2B companies. I operate at board and C-suite altitude. Most engagements begin with a Revenue Engineering Sprint and retain from there. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 “Roger operates at a true CMO/CRO level.
