Fractional CFO - Mumbai
A fractional CFO for Mumbai companies
Mumbai companies tend to arrive with a capital markets question behind the finance one. A raise, a lender, a listing, or an acquirer is about to look closely at numbers that were never built to be looked at closely.
- Typical profile
- Financial services, listed-track
- Usual trigger
- A raise, a lender or a listing
- How we work
- Remote, on your calls
- Engagement
- Monthly retainer, no lock-in
What we usually find in a Mumbai company
- Several entities, and a consolidation that takes weeks and nobody fully trusts.
- Controls that were adequate for a private company and are not adequate for a lender or an acquirer.
- Reporting built for compliance rather than for the people about to underwrite you.
- No single person who owns the number the board is being asked to approve.
What a fractional CFO does about it
The finance function
- Get consolidation to close on a predictable date each month, across every entity.
- Put internal controls in at the standard a diligence team or an auditor will test.
- Build reporting an investor, a lender or an acquirer can read without asking for a reconciliation.
The transaction
- Carry the finance side of diligence, so the founders can keep running the business through it.
How we work with Mumbai companies
We are based in Chennai and work with founder-led companies across India. The work below on taking a bootstrapped company from fractured finances to IPO ready is the closest analogue to what a Mumbai listing-track engagement looks like.
