About Us
From meticulous bookkeeping and essential compliance to strategic FP&A and Fractional CFO leadership
FACFO is more than an outsourced finance provider, we are a strategic partner dedicated to helping businesses achieve clarity, control, and confidence in their financial future.
We were founded on a simple truth: financial management is one of the biggest challenges facing fast-growing companies. Many startups and SMEs find themselves caught between underpowered bookkeeping and overly expensive CFO retainers. FACFO exists to bridge that gap.
Our approach blends the discipline of corporate finance leadership with the practical execution of day-to-day accounting. This means you get the best of both worlds: detailed reporting, investor-ready financial models, tax and compliance management, plus high-level strategic insights that guide decision-making at the boardroom level.
Over the years, our team has advised venture-backed startups, family-owned SMEs, multinational subsidiaries, and private equity funds, bringing global best practices into tailored, hands-on support. We understand what it takes to manage cash flow in a high-growth environment, prepare financials for fundraising rounds, and implement governance structures that ensure long-term stability.
At our core, we believe finance should be a growth enabler, not a barrier. That’s why we work as an integrated extension of your team, not just a service provider. We roll up our sleeves, embed ourselves into your operations, and take ownership of your financial health so you can focus on building and scaling your vision.
With decades of combined experience, a proven track record across industries, and a philosophy rooted in transparency and partnership, FACFO is redefining what it means to have a finance team.
We are not here to simply crunch numbers. We are here to transform the way you run your business.
FACFO understands that no two industries face the same financial challenges. A SaaS company’s needs for revenue recognition and investor-ready forecasts are very different from a manufacturer’s concerns around working capital or a professional services firm’s requirements for compliance and cash flow.
We have worked with companies across SaaS, eCommerce, Real Estate, Manufacturing, Biotech, and Professional Services. This breadth of experience allows us to bring cross-industry best practices while tailoring solutions that match the unique realities of each sector.
Our leadership has advised both startups and mature enterprises, giving us a clear perspective on what founders and CFOs alike need to scale responsibly. Whether preparing for fundraising, navigating compliance, or optimizing AR/AP cycles, FACFO provides strategies rooted in real-world industry expertise.
FACFO is not just a bookkeeping firm and not just a consultancy, we are the bridge between the two. Our integrated approach combines financial accounting, tax management, compliance, and CFO-level strategy into one cohesive system.
This means that you do not need to juggle multiple providers or worry about gaps between day-to-day bookkeeping and boardroom-level decision-making. We manage the numbers from the ground up while also providing the insights you need to make confident, long-term decisions.
- Financial Accounting, bookkeeping, AR/AP, integrated reporting, and financial statements.

This international perspective ensures that our clients remain competitive and compliant, whether they are managing payroll across multiple jurisdictions, reporting to overseas investors, or preparing for market entry in a new country.
FACFO’s promise is simple, we give founders and leaders the clarity and confidence to expand without borders.

- Data-Driven Decisions, recommendations based on analysis, not guesswork.
- Embedded Partnership, we integrate as part of your team, not just a vendor providing reports.
