Transform Your Finance Function, Prepare for Growth, and Secure Your Fundraise

There are many challenges that come with building and scaling a business. For many founders, financial management can feel time-consuming, sometimes over-whelming and often neglected—until it’s too late.

That’s where we come in.

Fast Growth Consulting specialises in helping start-ups and scale-ups optimise their finance function, making them efficient, investor-ready and growth-focused.

Our Fractional CFO services are designed to save founders time, streamline financial processes, and assist the business to maximise growth and minimise risk.

Do These Challenges Sound Familiar?

  • Disorganised Financial Systems: Struggling to keep track of cash flow, increasing expenses, or understanding profitability within the business? Your finances feel like a mess, and you’re not confident in the numbers you’re seeing.
  • Cash Flow Concerns: Uncertainty around burn rates, cash runway, and working capital management creates constant stress.
  • Time-Draining Financial Tasks: You’re stuck in the weeds of bookkeeping requests, reporting, or chasing overdue invoices—leaving no time for strategic decision-making.
  • Fundraising Frustration: Investors need clear, reliable numbers, but your financial reports don’t tell a compelling story. You worry your business won’t stand up to due diligence or to investor questions.
  • Lack of Financial Clarity: Without meaningful insights, it’s hard to make informed decisions about hiring, growth, or funding.
  • Feeling Alone at the Top: Without a leadership team or co-founder, you’re left making critical business decisions on your own. Sometimes, you just need a sparring partner—a trusted advisor to bounce ideas off and provide a fresh perspective.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and we can help.
