Welcome to Unicorn CFO

 

​Most founders are brilliant at building products. But their financials? Often chaotic. We fix that. And then we help you grow.

 

What We Do:

 

1. Fractional CFO Services

 

We provide expert financial strategy without the $200k salary.

└─ Financial clarity (P&L, cash flow, forecasting)

└─ Systems that work (budgets, reporting, KPI dashboards)

└─ Strategic guidance (growth, profitability, capital efficiency)

└─ Peace of mind (you know exactly where your business stands)

 

2. M&A Advisory & Growth Capital Sourcing

 

When you're ready to scale or exit, we connect you with investors and buyers.

 

└─ Institutional growth capital ($10-50M+ raises)

└─ Strategic acquisition opportunities

└─ Deal facilitation & preparation

└─ Valuation strategy & exit planning

 

Why Unicorn CFO & Advisory?

​

Most financial services and CPA Firms focus on reporting what already happened. We focus on helping owners decide what comes next.

Unicorn CFO works with growth-minded businesses that need clarity around cash, margins, and strategic choices, not just clean numbers.

Our role is to turn financial data into forward-looking insight, scenario-driven analysis, and clear decisions you can act on with confidence.

 

Background: Former CFO for multinational companies, investment banker, and controller at Deloitte. I bring world-class financial strategy to founders.

 

Philosophy: Strategic finance drives business forward. Not just accounting but strategic guidance.

 

Network: Direct relationships with growth PE firms, strategic buyers, and institutional investors. When you need capital or exit conversations, I have those connections.

 

Let's build financial systems that work FOR you, not against you. Let's turn chaos into clarity.

Let's make your numbers make sense. And when you're ready? Let's take your business to the next level.

We went from scattered spreadsheets to a fully functional forecast and budget in a few weeks. Unicorn CFO gave us financial clarity, board-ready dashboards, and a roadmap we could actually follow.

When we started capital raising, investors were interested in our financial model. It was clean, defensible, and clearly built by someone who understood capital markets. That’s the Unicorn CFO difference.
