Problem

Searchers, and Acquisition entrepreneurs, are typically either skilled operators or financial professionals, but rarely both. Strong operators often require financial assistance, such as opportunity assessment, modeling, negotiation with sellers and lenders, and investor communication. Conversely, those with financial expertise may struggle with operational management. Our Search Fund CFO services provide support in both areas.

Our approach to solving this problem

We provide Fractional CFO or Part-time CFO services to Search Funds and ETA Entrepreneurs.
