Senior financial judgement, without a full-time hire
Part-time CFO support for owners who need someone to interpret the numbers, plan ahead, and sit across the table for the decisions that actually matter.
Most businesses outgrow bookkeeping long before they can justify a CFO
There is a stage where the accounts are kept properly but nobody is turning them into decisions. Cash is tight without an obvious reason, pricing has never really been tested, and expansion gets discussed without a model behind it.
A part-time CFO fills exactly that gap: senior financial judgement applied to your business, at a fraction of the cost of a permanent hire — with the accounting function underneath still producing accurate records.
Profitable on paper
But cash is always tight, and nobody can say exactly why.
Weighing a big step
Expansion, a new branch or a major purchase is on the table.
A lender wants forecasts
A bank or investor has asked for numbers you do not currently produce.
Which parts make money?
You cannot say with confidence which products, clients or contracts do.
The same month under three scenarios
Switch the scenario — runway, margin and forecast move together.
Illustrative figures. Switching the scenario changes runway, margin and forecast together.
Three ways to bring senior finance into the room
No fixed packages. We agree the model and the rhythm to the business, and revisit both as circumstances change.
| Model | Fractional CFO | Project advisory | Board & investor support |
|---|---|---|---|
| CadenceHow often we are in the room | A structured monthly session and a quarterly deep dive, adjusted to the business | A defined start and end, built around one decision | Ahead of each board, bank or investor meeting |
| Typical scopeWhat the work covers | Cash, budget, profitability, pricing and ongoing decision support | A funding case, a restructuring, a pricing review or an expansion model | The financial narrative, the forecast set and the questions to expect |
| DeliverablesWhat you receive | Rolling cash forecast, budget versus actual, written decision notes | A written model and a recommendation you can act on | Board or investor pack, forecast set, preparation for the questions |
| Who it suitsThe typical client | Owner-managed businesses and growing SMEs that need regular senior input | Companies facing one significant financial commitment | Businesses preparing for funding, expansion or a change of ownership |
| Rolling cash forecastMaintained and reviewed with you | Included | On request | On request |
| Seat in management meetingsA standing finance voice | Included | Not included | On request |
| Lender or investor packPrepared and presented | On request | On request | Included |
| Scope first, then a written quote. Every model is set to the business rather than sold as a fixed package. | |||

The questions a CFO is paid to answer
A decision that waits on the numbers.
Lenders read covenants, not hopes.
Revenue is not margin.
Where advisory makes the difference
Six situations where the decision changes when someone who reads the numbers forward is sitting with you.
You receive the closed books, the pack and the reviewer's sign-off — every period, in writing.
A clear rhythm from understanding to review
The same four movements in every engagement — the depth and the cadence are set to your business.
Worth reading before the decision
Two pieces from the Knowledge Hub that sit closest to the questions CFO advisory answers.
Preparing a funding case a UAE bank will actually read
What lenders look for in a forecast, the covenants owners overlook, and how to present a cash story that holds up to questioning.
Corporate Tax now sits inside every planning decision
Why the tax position belongs in the model before an expansion, a pricing change or a financing decision is made — and how we keep it there.
CFO & Advisory questions, answered
The questions owners ask before a first session.
It is set to the business rather than sold as a fixed package. Some clients need a structured monthly session and a quarterly deep dive; others need heavier involvement around a funding round, a restructuring or an expansion. We agree the rhythm at the start and revisit it as circumstances change.
No. This is management and financial decision support for your business — planning, analysis, pricing, cash and funding readiness. It is not personal investment advice and it does not cover securities or personal portfolios. Where a question falls into that territory, we say so and refer you to a licensed adviser.
Yes. A CFO advisor interprets and plans; the accounting function still has to produce accurate records underneath. If your bookkeeping is already in good hands, we work alongside it. In many cases AL TAMAYUZ does both, which keeps the analysis close to the underlying data and removes the hand-off between the two.
Auditors look backwards at what has already happened and report on it independently. A CFO advisor works forwards, on the decisions you have not made yet. The two are complementary, and the forward view is only as good as the records the audit confirms.
Senior financial guidance when a decision is waiting on the numbers.
