Strong financial foundations won’t guarantee success, but weak ones almost always create barriers.

Laying strong financial foundations from day one

Launching a new business is exciting but demanding. Many founders focus on the product, brand, or customers but overlook the financial structure that underpins everything else. Establishing the right foundations early helps avoid costly mistakes, improves investor confidence, and frees you to focus on growth.

I work closely with start-up owners to design a financial framework that’s efficient, scalable, and easy to maintain.

A start-up’s first financial decisions can shape its long-term success. From selecting the right structure and software to managing cash flow and understanding funding options, I help you build clarity and confidence from day one.

Whether you’re self-funded, grant-supported, or preparing for investment, I’ll make sure your finances support—not hinder—your ambitions.

Core support includes:

Business structure and systems setup

Advising on the most suitable legal structure and financial setup and implementing accounting systems to support your business as it grows.

Cash flow forecasting and management

Creating cash flow projections you can rely upon, monitoring liquidity, and identifying risks before they arise.

Funding readiness and support

Reviewing funding options, preparing forecasts, and assisting with investor or lender presentations.

Accounting processes and controls

Establishing simple, reliable bookkeeping routines and internal controls to keep your records accurate.

KPI tracking and performance metrics

Defining the key measures that matter for your business and setting up dashboards or reports to monitor them.

Are you ready to build your start-up on solid financial grounds?

Strong financial foundations won’t guarantee success, but weak ones almost always create barriers. With the right structure and insight in place early, you can focus your energy on building and scaling your business.
